Key differences between Emporia Vue 3 and Sonoff MINI PM Matter Over WiFi Power Meter (Non-Switch)
A summary of selected recorded differences between these energy monitors. Check the full specification table below for details and conditions.
Feature differences among your selected devices
- Ethernet (connectivity): Emporia Vue 3 — Yes (10/100Base-T); Sonoff MINI PM Matter Over WiFi Power Meter (Non-Switch) — No.
- Load Management (features): Emporia Vue 3 — Yes (Time of use, peak demand and excess solar automations); Sonoff MINI PM Matter Over WiFi Power Meter (Non-Switch) — No (With no relay it can raise a threshold alert but cannot shed the load itself).
- Matter (integrations): Emporia Vue 3 — No; Sonoff MINI PM Matter Over WiFi Power Meter (Non-Switch) — Yes (Matter over Wi-Fi: the device carries a Matter QR code and is commissioned by scanning it from a Matter app | Home Assistant is the one Matter controller that accepts it today, because the energy meter device type is not yet handled by the other ecosystems).
- SmartThings (integrations): Emporia Vue 3 — No; Sonoff MINI PM Matter Over WiFi Power Meter (Non-Switch) — Yes (Reached through eWeLink account linking, and SONOFF notes SmartThings also reads the power consumption figures).
Specifications to check side by side
- Data History (data monitoring): Emporia Vue 3 — Unlimited (1 second data 3 hours, 1 minute data 7 days, 1 hour data unlimited); Sonoff MINI PM Matter Over WiFi Power Meter (Non-Switch) — 1 year (Up to one year of energy data, and going offline does not interrupt the recording).
- Power Supply (installation): Emporia Vue 3 — Mains (breaker panel); Sonoff MINI PM Matter Over WiFi Power Meter (Non-Switch) — Mains (100-240 V).
- Apple Home (integrations): Emporia Vue 3 — No; Sonoff MINI PM Matter Over WiFi Power Meter (Non-Switch) — Upcoming platform support (The meter is a Matter over Wi-Fi device, but SONOFF's own platform table marks Apple Home as not yet able to add it: the Home app still does not accept the Matter energy meter device type. Nothing on SONOFF's side is missing, so the meter gets in once Apple supports that type.).
- Monitored Circuits (metering): Emporia Vue 3 — 19; Sonoff MINI PM Matter Over WiFi Power Meter (Non-Switch) — 1 (One circuit, the load wired through its L and L Out terminals).
Information still to confirm
- 6 of 39 comparison fields lack a resolved value for at least one selected device. Missing information is not evidence that a feature is absent.
