Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 vs YoLink Smart Outdoor Energy Plug comparison

Updated June 2026

Data from Amazon and official Sonoff and YoLink sites.

2026 verdict

Where the plug lives settles this comparison: the YoLink Smart Outdoor Energy Plug is rated IP63 for outdoor use, which the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 is not, so for garden lighting, a pond pump or Christmas lights it is the only safe option of the two. It is also the better rated of the pair and supports Matter alongside Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT, giving it the wider reach. The Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 is the stronger indoor plug: it handles up to 4000W against 1800W, a big margin that covers heaters and workshop tools, and it connects straight to Wi-Fi with Bluetooth for setup, while the YoLink needs a YoLink hub to join its LoRa network. That hub is also what gives YoLink its long range across a property. Choose the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 for heavy indoor loads with no hub, and the YoLink Smart Outdoor Energy Plug for anything outdoors or far from the house.
