What the catalog tells us
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.

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
Cycle schedule and timers (LoRa, YoLink hub required)
One physical button: a single press toggles the load, a five second hold enters pairing mode and a ten second hold resets the device
Zigbee router functionality is described.
Sonoff iPlug Gen2 S61s Type B Zigbee Power Meter Smart Plug — manufacturer product description →Check the specified variant, required hub and installation instructions. Manufacturer claims are not independent performance tests.
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
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
The YoLink Local Hub bridges YoLink devices to Matter, which is how they reach the Apple Home app. The older cloud-only YoLink hubs have no Apple Home path.
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
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
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
Listed as SmartThings compatible with an AeoTec Smart Home Hub V3 as its Zigbee hub, and reachable through the eWeLink cloud once added to a SONOFF gateway
Via Matter
Power and energy measurement are described.

Real-time voltage, current, power and consumption with historical reports by hour, day and month, 180 days of consumption history and data export
Real-time energy monitoring with exportable reports
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
