Key differences between Refoss EM06P 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.
- Time Of Use Rates (data monitoring): Refoss EM06P — No; Sonoff MINI PM Matter Over WiFi Power Meter (Non-Switch) — Yes (Fixed or time-of-use pricing, with consumption shown per rate band).
- Load Management (features): Refoss EM06P — Yes (Zero feed-in control when paired with a solar system); 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).
- Din Rail Mount (installation): Refoss EM06P — Yes (EU standard DIN rail, flame-retardant PC housing); Sonoff MINI PM Matter Over WiFi Power Meter (Non-Switch) — No (Indoor flush mounting only, with no rail clip).
- Alexa (integrations): Refoss EM06P — No (Alexa has no energy meter device type and this meter has no relay to expose as a switch, so a skill has nothing to publish); Sonoff MINI PM Matter Over WiFi Power Meter (Non-Switch) — Yes (Reached by adding the meter to eWeLink and linking the account, the path SONOFF documents for this model).
- Data History (data monitoring): Refoss EM06P — 5 years (Free cloud storage, daily data kept up to 5 years with no subscription); 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): Refoss EM06P — Mains (breaker panel); Sonoff MINI PM Matter Over WiFi Power Meter (Non-Switch) — Mains (100-240 V).
- Apple Home (integrations): Refoss EM06P — 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): Refoss EM06P — 6 (Six independent channels that can be merged for a combined total); Sonoff MINI PM Matter Over WiFi Power Meter (Non-Switch) — 1 (One circuit, the load wired through its L and L Out terminals).
- 7 of 39 comparison fields lack a resolved value for at least one selected device. Missing information is not evidence that a feature is absent.
- Check the full table and manufacturer documentation before ruling out a device.
These observations are derived from recorded catalog data and have not all been independently verified. Confirm details with the manufacturer before purchasing.
