Eve Energy (EU) vs Meross Outdoor Smart Plug comparison

Updated August 2026

Data from Amazon and official Eve and Meross sites.

2026 verdict

The Eve Energy (EU) leads this smart plug matchup on the strength of its higher 2500W maximum load, built-in energy monitoring and a broader integration list, including native Matter over Thread. The Meross Outdoor Smart Plug answers with its own clear purpose: it is the more affordable, higher-rated option, it carries an IP44 weather-resistance rating for outdoor use, and it splits into two independently controllable outlets. These two barely overlap in use case, the Eve is a Type F indoor Schuko plug for Europe, while the Meross is a Type B outdoor unit for North America with no energy monitoring. Both work with HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. Choose the Eve Energy (EU) for indoor energy tracking, a higher load and Thread and Matter support; choose the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug for weatherproof, dual-outlet outdoor control.
