Aqara Smart Plug (EU) vs Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets)

The Aqara Smart Plug (EU) is the stronger plug overall, with a higher load rating, energy monitoring, overheat/overload protection, broader integrations and Zigbee router functionality. The Meross wins for its intended job: weatherproof outdoor control of several loads.

The Meross has an IP44 weatherproof housing with three independently controllable outdoor outlets, while the Aqara is a single indoor-only outlet. The Aqara counters with energy monitoring and a higher 2300W maximum load, neither of which the Meross offers.

The Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) is purpose-built for that, giving you three weatherproof outlets you can schedule and switch independently. The Aqara Smart Plug (EU) is indoor-only with a single outlet, so it is not suited to exposed outdoor gear.

Choose the Aqara Smart Plug (EU) for indoor use where you want energy monitoring, a higher maximum load, Apple HomeKit and Home Assistant support, and Zigbee router functionality to extend the mesh.

Choose the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) if you need to control multiple outdoor loads, such as holiday lighting, a fountain and a heat lamp, from one weatherproof unit with independent scheduling via HomeKit, Alexa, Google or SmartThings.
