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, 1T1R, with one internal antenna
BLE powers Proximity Mode, which lets the phone connect to the switch directly for basic control and settings when no Zigbee gateway is available
Zigbee 3.0 over IEEE 802.15.4, EFR32MG21
Timers, countdowns, schedules and sunrise/sunset routines in the Meross app, which keep running while the network is offline
Smart timer, smart scene, group control and Zigbee Binding for direct device-to-device local control without the gateway
A concealed module for a junction box, a ceiling rose or the appliance's own housing, marked indoor use only
Designed for EU flush-mounted, 86-type and 120-type wall boxes, 60 mm depth recommended
The output block is L out and N, so the module switches the live wire instead of offering a potential-free contact
The switch measures electrical consumption.

Document check only; not a hands-on test or verification of every regional or firmware variant.
Real-time power plus consumption history and cost estimates in the Meross app
Power metering is the separate MINI ONE PM model; this one reports no energy data and Zigbee2MQTT exposes none
1 x On/Off button, held for 5 seconds to start a factory reset, next to a single status LED
Meross documents firmware upgrades through the Meross app, including for units commissioned into Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa
Over-the-air updates through eWeLink, Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA
Power-on state is configurable as On, Off or Keep, plus a delayed power-on timer to stagger loads after an outage
L out carries the switched live wire to the load
The two parallel L Out terminals switch mains live to the load
Detach relay mode turns the wired wall switch into a smart trigger so connected smart bulbs never lose power
SONOFF lists its Zigbee role as Router: 180 m to the gateway by default and 250 m with Turbo mode enabled
Via Matter
SONOFF's own feature table lists on/off, smart scene and smart timer through Alexa, using an Echo with a built-in Zigbee hub or the eWeLink skill
Via Matter. Meross also lists HomeKit directly; remote access needs a HomePod, Apple TV or iPad acting as a home hub
The product page states it works with Apple Home via a SONOFF Matter bridge (ZBBridge-U, iHost or eWeLink CUBE with a SONOFF Zigbee dongle). Apple Home has no Zigbee radio of its own.
Via Matter
SONOFF lists Google Home for this model via its Matter bridges or via eWeLink cloud-to-cloud once the switch is added through a SONOFF Zigbee gateway
Via Matter. The Amazon listing names Home Assistant as a supported controller
Zigbee2MQTT supports this exact model from version 2.12.1 and exposes state, power-on behaviour, detach relay mode, turbo mode and overheat reporting. ZHA support is still pending a merge, so ZHA users need SONOFF's setup script for the full feature set.
The MSS715MA supports Matter.

Matter over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, the protocol the product is named for, with multi-admin pairing across Meross, Apple Home, Alexa and Google Home
The switch itself is Zigbee, not Matter: SONOFF republishes it into Matter through its own bridges (ZBBridge-U, iHost, eWeLink CUBE with a SONOFF Zigbee dongle).
Via Matter. The Amazon listing names SmartThings as a supported controller
SONOFF's feature table lists SmartThings through the Aeotec SmartThings Hub (V3), which pairs it as a standard Zigbee device
Rated 16A 100-240V~ 50/60Hz
Input 100-240V~, 50/60Hz; output 100-240V~, 50/60Hz, 16.0A max, as printed on the unit
Mains AC only: the label rates both input and output as 100-240V~ 50/60Hz
The listing states the module needs a neutral wire, and the input block has L, S in and N terminals
SONOFF states a neutral wire is required, and the wiring diagram uses N, L, two parallel L Out terminals and the S1 external switch input
Meross rates it for high-draw resistive appliances: water heaters, ovens, electric heaters and underfloor heating
The stated maximum current is 16 A.

60% higher than the ZBMINIR2, which is rated 10A
The official safety graphic states a maximum output of 16A, 3800W
Overheat protection plus a PC V0 flame-retardant housing
Built-in high-precision temperature sensing cuts the relay output when the temperature approaches the safety threshold, and Zigbee2MQTT exposes the resulting device_overheated attribute
Meross's safety specification lists only the flame-retardant housing, the 16A/3800W maximum and overheat protection
