These counts describe the available data, not a quality score. More features do not automatically make a better device.
Consider your setup
Confirm which features appear in Apple Home and whether extra hardware or a subscription is needed for your intended use.
Inspect the specificationsConsider your setup
Confirm the exact device type and the features exposed in your chosen platform. Protocol support does not establish feature parity across apps.
Inspect the specificationsYour priorities, side by side
Mark the specifications you care about. Open manufacturer sources for verification scope; fields without citations remain catalog data. Expand notes for other qualifications.

IEEE 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz
Bluetooth carries the Matter commissioning handshake, and SONOFF's Proximity Mode also drives the plug directly over BLE while it is offline, with energy monitoring unavailable in that mode | The Matter device record for S61STPF-PM-O lists Bluetooth alongside Wi-Fi
Zigbee 3.0 (IEEE 802.15.4) device: it pairs to a Zigbee coordinator such as a SONOFF ZBBridge, a SONOFF Dongle with ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT, or the built-in coordinator of an Amazon Echo Plus, Echo 4th gen or Echo Show 2nd gen
Schedules, timers, loop timers and inching, plus smart scenes triggered by load power or electricity consumption
Schedules, countdown and inching timers, device groups and smart scenes in the eWeLink app, plus scenes and voice routines in the Matter ecosystem the plug is joined to | LAN control keeps the app working when the cloud is unreachable, and a power-on state setting decides how the socket comes back after an outage
One physical button: a single press toggles the load, a five second hold enters pairing mode and a ten second hold resets the device
One splash-proof button on the body: a short press toggles the load, a 5 second press enters pairing mode
Zigbee router functionality is described.

Document check only; not a hands-on test or verification of every regional or firmware variant.
Works as a Zigbee router while powered on and connected, repeating signal to extend the network, with support for up to 64 end devices
Works over Alexa voice control through account linking in the eWeLink app, and the Amazon Echo Plus 2nd gen, Echo 4th gen and Echo Show 2nd gen can act as its Zigbee hub directly
Via Matter: SONOFF's compatibility table gives Alexa app remote control, voice control and smart scenes
The device is not a native HomeKit accessory: it reaches the Apple Home app through a Matter bridge, either a SONOFF hub (Bridge-M, ZBBridge-U, iHost) or the software Matter bridge in eWeLink CUBE
Via Matter: SONOFF's compatibility table gives Apple Home app remote control, voice control and smart scenes, and the product page states the plug fully supports Siri, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch
Once the plug is added to a compatible SONOFF Zigbee gateway, the eWeLink app's account linking exposes it to Google Home for on and off voice control
Via Matter: SONOFF's compatibility table gives Google Home app remote control, voice control and smart scenes
Supported natively through Zigbee2MQTT from version 2.11.0 and through ZHA with the SONOFF-provided script, using a SONOFF Dongle Plus, Dongle Lite, Dongle Max or ZBDongle
Via Matter: SONOFF's compatibility table gives Home Assistant app remote control, voice control, smart scenes and, from firmware 1.0.6, energy consumption data
The device is not Matter itself: SONOFF republishes it into Matter through a bridge (Bridge-M, ZBBridge-U, iHost or eWeLink CUBE with a SONOFF Zigbee Dongle), which is how it reaches the Apple Home app
Matter compatibility is specified.

Multi-layer protection: the plug shuts the load off immediately when a configured current, voltage or power threshold is exceeded, and it can be restored remotely or manually after a trip
Overload protection cuts the supply when current, voltage or power crosses a threshold the user sets, and power can be restored remotely afterwards | A separate overcharge protection mode turns the socket off once a connected battery device stops drawing above a set level, and the housing carries a safety shutter and UV resistant PC plastic
