Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug vs Sonoff Zigbee Smart Plug S40 Lite

Same manufacturer, two different philosophies: the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug sweeps almost every spec against the Sonoff Zigbee Smart Plug S40 Lite, with a lower price, a longer warranty, a higher 3840W load ceiling against the S40 Lite's 1800W, configurable overload protection and retained energy monitoring, none of which the Zigbee-only S40 Lite offers. That is because the Sonoff Zigbee Smart Plug S40 Lite has no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth radio at all and exists mainly to do one job well: act as a Zigbee router, repeating signal to sensors and switches on an existing Zigbee mesh, something the standalone Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug cannot do. Both plugs share the same owner rating and skip weather resistance entirely. They also use different outlets, the Sonoff Zigbee Smart Plug S40 Lite a Type B plug for 120V sockets and the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug a Type F plug for 230V circuits. Buy the Sonoff Zigbee Smart Plug S40 Lite only if you need to extend an existing Zigbee network on a 120V outlet, and buy the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug for a standalone, higher-power, metered Matter plug on 230V.
