Apollo MSR-2 vs Meross Smart Presence Sensor

Meross Smart Presence Sensor wins clearly: a lower price, native Matter over Wi-Fi, and integrations with HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant. Apollo MSR-2 stays a narrower, Home Assistant-only alternative.

Platform reach. The Meross speaks Matter natively over Wi-Fi, so every major platform sees it without extra hardware. The Apollo MSR-2 also joins Wi-Fi directly with no hub, but it was built for Home Assistant only, with no Matter, HomeKit, Alexa or Google Home path.

No. The Apollo MSR-2 is sold directly from Apollo Automation and has no public rating history yet. The Meross Smart Presence Sensor is sold through Amazon with an established, strong owner rating.

Yes, both the Apollo MSR-2 and the Meross Smart Presence Sensor pair radar-based presence detection with a built-in light sensor, and neither supports multi-person detection or fall alerts.

Choose Apollo MSR-2 if you run Home Assistant exclusively and want a simple, wired, direct Wi-Fi radar sensor built around the LD2410 module, without needing Matter or any other platform.

Choose Meross Smart Presence Sensor if you want the better-rated, more broadly compatible option, with native Matter making it a first-class citizen in HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings or Home Assistant.
