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

The Aqara Smart Plug (US) wins overall, with a lower price, higher rating, higher load, energy monitoring, overheat/overload protection and more integrations. The Meross wins for its purpose: weatherproof control of multiple outdoor loads.

The Meross has an IP44 weatherproof housing with three independently controllable outdoor outlets, while the Aqara is a single indoor-only outlet that adds energy monitoring, a higher load and Zigbee router functionality.

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

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

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.
