2026 verdict

The Eve Energy (EU) takes this comparison, backed by a higher 2500W maximum load, built-in energy monitoring and a wider integration list that includes native Matter over Thread.

Both integrate with HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. Pick the Eve Energy (EU) for indoor energy tracking, a higher load and Thread and Matter; pick the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) for weatherproof control of multiple outdoor devices.
