Meross MS130 Temperature & Humidity Sensor Review, Matter, Apple Home, Aqara & Home Assistant Setup

In this video, I take a detailed, real world look at the Meross Smart Temperature & Humidity Sensor MS130, including unboxing, Matter hub setup, Meross app setup, Apple Home integration, Aqara integration, Home Assistant setup, and a full walkthrough of the data and automations you can create. This is more than just a basic temperature sensor. The MS130 provides real time temperature, humidity, and light level readings, along with additional environmental data inside the Meross app such as dew point, vapour pressure, and air quality insights. It is designed to give you a much clearer picture of your home environment and allow you to build smarter automations. The kit includes the Meross Matter Smart Hub MSH450, which connects via 2.4 GHz WiFi or Ethernet, and acts as the bridge for the sensor. Once connected, the sensor can be shared across multiple ecosystems including Apple Home, Home Assistant, Aqara (via Matter), and Alexa through existing setups. In this video, I show: • What you get in the box • Setting up the Meross Matter Hub (MSH450) • Pairing the MS130 sensor in the Meross app • A detailed look at the data and readings available • Adding it into Apple Home • Bringing it into Aqara via Matter • Integrating it into Home Assistant • Real world responsiveness of temperature, humidity, and light levels • Example automations using temperature and humidity triggers One of the standout features here is how much data this sensor provides. Alongside temperature and humidity, you also get illuminance (lux), dew point, vapour pressure deficit, and absolute humidity. This opens up far more advanced automation possibilities compared to standard sensors. For example, you can: • Automatically turn heating on/off based on temperature • Trigger a dehumidifier when humidity rises • Adjust lighting based on ambient light levels • Build more advanced climate control automations in Home Assistant In testing, the sensor responds quickly, especially in Home Assistant where updates feel near real time. This makes it a strong option if you are building a more advanced smart home setup. Meross kindly sent this product out for review, but this is not a paid promotion.
