What the differences mean
Load rating
Both wall outlets are 15 A resistive. The Moes Smart WiFi USB Wall Outlet is listed at 1800 W. The Moes Smart WiFi 2 USB Wall Outlet is listed at 1500 W. That 300 W is the spec the comparison scores, and it is why the USB-A plate wins even though it has the older USB layout. Inductive and capacitive limits are not published on either.
USB ports
The Moes Smart WiFi 2 USB Wall Outlet has one USB-A port and one USB-C port. The Moes Smart WiFi USB Wall Outlet has one USB-A port and no USB-C. The sockets beside them match: two Type B AC outlets on each. If a laptop or a phone wants USB-C from the wall, only the newer plate does it, and it gives up 300 W of rated load to do so.
What is the same
Both use 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, with no Zigbee, Bluetooth, Thread or Matter. Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant are on both. Apple Home and SmartThings are on neither. Energy monitoring is no on both. Overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent and overpower protection are no on both. Warranty is 1 year on both. Child lock and power-off memory are not published on either.
Mains range
The Moes Smart WiFi 2 USB Wall Outlet is listed for 100-250 V. The Moes Smart WiFi USB Wall Outlet is listed for 110-240 V. For a typical North American 120 V box both ranges cover the socket. The difference shows up only if the plate is asked to live on a supply outside one of those windows.
