Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) vs Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug

Indoors or outdoors is really the first question here, and everywhere else the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug leads this smart plug comparison, with a lower price, a higher owner rating, a bigger 3840W load ceiling against the Meross plug's 1800W, configurable overload protection and retained energy monitoring the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) does not have. The Meross plug's answer is the one thing that actually matters outside: an IP44 weatherproof housing built to survive rain and dust, plus three independently controlled outlets for string lights, a fountain or holiday inflatables that a single-socket plug cannot replace. Both integrate with Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant, and the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) adds Apple HomeKit and Samsung SmartThings directly, while the Sonoff plug reaches those same two, plus Matter itself, without a hub. Outlet standards differ too: the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) is a Type B plug for 110-125V sockets, and the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug is a Type F plug for 230V circuits. Put the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) on a patio or yard where you need several weatherproof outlets, and keep the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug indoors for a single high-draw, metered appliance.
