mss110 power switch with firmware 7.3.19 requires user and key

[amair]

After upgrading an ms110 switch to firmware 7.3.19 using meross-setup without a user and key setup results in an error.

The user (as returned from meross-info is the MAC address of the device. Trying to set this as the user in meross-setup results in the app trying to interpret the string as an integer which then fails validation.

The username and password reported by meross-info is the MQTT credentials. The username you are setting in meross-setup is only used in signing the message and communication with Meross cloud.

Device will reboot...

Have you tried passing a user id that isn't 0. It's possible they have changed the firmware so that 0 is no longer valid.
