Meross (or any other) garage door opener & Alexa

    A little help re virtual switches folks...

    I have 3 Meross garage door openers. 2 for the garage doors, 1 for the electric gate.

    To bypass the need for Alexa to require a pass code, on the advice of someone online a few years back I created some "virtual switches". Which means that when I tell Alexa to open the gate, the instruction instead activates the virtual switch which was programmed to open it. Same for the garage etc, I was able to set up various instructions to open, close, open and then close and so forth.

    Anyway, they've stopped working. The Meross units still work, I can control them in the app and I can use the basic lock & unlock commands in Alexa in conjunction with the pin code.

    Any suggestions on fixing this, or an alternative workaround? One that doesn't involve HA though...

    Thanks in advance.
