In this video I unbox, set up, and fully test the Meross MS600 Matter & Thread Smart Presence Sensor. Meross sent this to me for review, but they haven’t asked me to say anything specific — so you’re getting the honest version.
I walk through the entire setup process, including the slightly fiddly Matter onboarding, resetting the device, scanning the code, and getting it into Home Assistant. Once connected, I explore the three occupancy zones, illuminance readings, and how the sensor reacts to real‑world movement… including my dogs constantly triggering it.
I also test the MS600’s IP67 waterproof rating, looking at whether it could work in a bathroom, shower area, or even outdoors for smart lighting. I show how to tune detection distances, adjust sensitivity, and use the Meross app to configure radar, PIR, and mixed modes.
Finally, I cover the good, the bad, and the ugly — including the unusual battery type — and share the discount code Meross provided.
If you’re considering the MS600 for Home Assistant, bathroom automations, or outdoor lighting, this video shows exactly what to expect. 📌 Discount code US / CA / AU:
