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.
The Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) is the specialist option: it is the more affordable, higher-rated unit, it is IP44 weather-resistant for outdoor installations, and it offers three independently controllable outlets for running several outdoor loads at once. The two really serve different jobs, the Eve is an indoor Type F Schuko plug for Europe, while the Meross is a Type B outdoor unit for North America with no energy monitoring. 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.
