Your port name is not defined just is ‘null’ I have added workaround for this case in 1.1.14, please update and let me know. For correct working of this plugin please set name for all ports in your switch in Meraki Dashboard. If you not define ports names then ports without names will be skipped and not published to the Home app.

1.1.14 resolved the TypeError – thanks! Now I get "debug: found: 0 exposed ports." Do I need to manually make ports available to the plug-in? Let me know if I should open a new issue for this.

[grzegorz914]

You need define names for your ports in Meraki Dashboard

[pl804]

Thought they'd default to switch id & port #. Defined names and all is working. Thanks!
