Meross — 3 prefixes (MA-M + MA-L); consumer smart-home, OUI = brand + chipset caveat (HomeKit)
Summary
- // what this is
- Chengdu Meross Technology is registered to MAC prefix
34:29:8F:1and 2 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with34:29:8F:1, that block was registered by Chengdu Meross Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A 48:E1:E9 / C4:E7:AE OUI indicates a Meross device; the MA-M block (34:29:8F:1) is a narrow range. Many Meross devices may still appear under a chipset OUI, so OUI absence doesn't exclude Meross.
About this vendor.
Meross holds 3 IEEE blocks of mixed registry type — one MA-M block (34:29:8F:1) and two MA-L blocks (48:E1:E9, C4:E7:AE) — registered as "Chengdu Meross Technology Co., Ltd." at No. 25, Yizhou Avenue, Gaoxin, Chengdu, Sichuan, China. These OUIs appear on smart plugs, smart switches and dimmers, smart lighting, garage-door openers, sensors, and smart locks, and the devices are HomeKit-compatible. The MA-M (28-bit) block is notable because it is a smaller medium allocation, unusual among consumer brands that typically hold full MA-L blocks. The key analyst point is that, like other budget smart-home brands, many Meross Wi-Fi devices surface under their Wi-Fi chipset vendor's OUI (for example Espressif). For triage, a 48:E1:E9 or C4:E7:AE OUI indicates a Meross device, and the MA-M block (34:29:8F:1) is a narrow range; because many Meross devices may still appear under a chipset OUI, OUI absence doesn't exclude Meross.

- One MA-M (28-bit) block — notable as a smaller medium allocation, unusual among consumer brands that typically hold full MA-L blocks. Like other budget smart-home brands, many Meross Wi-Fi devices surface under their Wi-Fi chipset vendor's OUI (e.g., Espressif). The IEEE registry publishes no assignment dates, so none is stated here. [Confirmed]
