hi, in the config do you have the “ignore homekit native devices” checked?
No I don’t. It’s unchecked. Hmm...

If you added the plugs directly into the Apple Home app then they won't show in the Meross app, and I believe that would mean the plugin won't detect them. If you add the device to your home through the Meross app, even if it's a HomeKit device then it should show in both apps, and the plug-in should detect it then although it would mean the device would appear twice in Home unless the "don't show native HomeKit devices" option ticked.
thanks @swampsnake1961 this may be the issue
which then makes me think, if they are already in homekit then why would you want to use the plugin?
Because I have found that these plugs go unresponsive in HomeKit when they were in the app. I was hoping the plug-in would solve that. But I am curious as why people use the plug-in if the devices are HomeKit compatible? I thought I may be missing something?

Some Meross devices aren't HomeKit compatible, so I use the plugin to integrate them into Apple's ecosphere. Also I find the some of the automations in the Meross app (like Power off a plug after 3 hours) is a lot more reliable than letting HomeKit take care of it. I still have access to Siri to turn a device on and then let the app's timers to turn it off again.

Hi, for some reason, many of my Meross plugs got inputted directly into HomeKit and do not show up in the Meross app. I was hoping the plugin would detect these but it appears not to be the case. Do you know how I get them in? Thanks!
