| Two Meural Canvases on one account | Partly works | One canvas flip-flopped to unavailable during setup; local reachability check suspectedSaved copyHello, great work on this integration! I have 2 Meurals, both seemed to be added without issue during the setup process. However, one of the Meurals seems to work perfectly in HA while the other was instantly "Unavailable" and HA does not appear to be getting any information from it. Both Meurals are "Online" in the Meural Netgear App and I have tried power cycling the "Unavailable" Meural to no avail. Do you have any suggestions on what I can try to get the 2nd Meural working like the other one? Working Meural "Unavailable" Meural Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #53 · 2022-11 |
