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
Check the integration method, supported model and firmware. A catalog Yes does not establish local control or official support.
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.

The dimmer reaches the Lutron Smart Hub, Pico remotes and Caseta motion sensors over Lutron's own Clear Connect RF rather than Wi-Fi, which is why the lights keep responding when the router is down
The specification table lists IEEE 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, the radio Matter runs over.
The Matter device directory lists the MINI-2GS-E with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, the BLE transport Matter uses for commissioning.
Lutron documents that the Diva's status LED can be switched on or off from the Lutron app (it is on by default), and the same screen adjusts the dimmer's high-end and low-end trim
The eWeLink Network Indicator setting lets the status LED be turned on or off.
Scenes, schedules, geofencing and Smart Away from the Lutron app, plus up to 10 Pico remotes or Caseta motion sensors paired directly to the dimmer with no hub at all
Schedules, timers, loop timers, Smart Scenes, group control and local LAN control are documented in the help center.
The Orb-MW2's feature set and specification table do not include power metering.
Power failure memory: should power be interrupted, the control returns to the level it was set to before the interruption
The eWeLink Power-on State setting offers On, Off, Last State and Reverse Last State, with an optional delay.
A white soft-glow light bar runs beside the slider and shows the light level, which is what makes the dimmer readable in a dark room
The unit carries a blue LED indicator whose blink patterns report pairing, online and offline states.
Two independently controlled channels are provided.
Sonoff Orb-MW2 Matter Over WiFi Double Smart Wall Switch — 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.
The dimmer is wired to the load it controls; the wire-free half of the system is the separate Pico remote or the Claro accessory switch
Detach Relay Mode separates the physical switch from the relay output, so the paddle can trigger a Smart Scene or leave a smart bulb downstream powered, and external S1 and S2 switch inputs are supported.
Lutron lists Amazon Alexa among the platforms Caseta works with, through the Lutron Smart Hub
The product page and SONOFF's help center list Amazon Alexa among the Matter platforms the switch commissions into.
Lutron lists Apple Home among the platforms Caseta works with; the Apple Home technology sits in the smart hub, so Siri controls the dimmer once it is paired to one
The product page documents the Apple Home path (Siri, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch), and the help center documents adding the switch to Apple via Matter.
Lutron lists Google Assistant among the platforms Caseta works with, through the Lutron Smart Hub
The product page and SONOFF's help center list Google Home among the Matter platforms the switch commissions into.
The core Lutron Caseta integration connects to the Lutron Caseta Smart Hub (L-BDG2-WH) and exposes wall dimmers as lights
SONOFF's help center documents adding the switch to Home Assistant over Matter; voice control there needs a separate Home Assistant speaker.
The CSA certified-product database holds no Matter certification for Lutron (only three Zigbee 3.0 Aurora dimmers), and Lutron's own Caseta compatibility page never mentions Matter
Matter connectivity is supported.
Sonoff Orb-MW2 Matter Over WiFi Double Smart Wall Switch — 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.
The product page presents the Orb-MW2 as Matter over Wi-Fi, and SONOFF's help center documents commissioning into Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant.
Lutron lists Samsung SmartThings among the platforms Caseta works with, through the Lutron Smart Hub
SONOFF's help center lists SmartThings as a Matter platform the Orb-MW2 commissions into.
Operating voltage 120 V~ 50/60 Hz, listed for the DVRF-6L in Lutron's Caseta load controls specification submittal
The specification table rates the switch at 110-240V~ 50/60Hz, 10A per gang and 16A total for resistive loads.
Dimmable CFL up to 150 W, listed alongside LED in the derating chart of the Diva's own installation guide
The rating is stated for resistive loads only, with no capacitive load rating published.
Dimmable LED rated for 120 V~, up to 150 W with Lutron's LED+ forward-phase dimming
The rating is stated for resistive loads only, with no inductive load rating published.
Simple two-wire installation, so no neutral wire is needed in the wallbox
SONOFF's FAQ answers it directly: the Orb-MW2 requires a neutral wire for proper installation and operation.
Incandescent and halogen loads, 25 W minimum and 600 W maximum when the dimmer is not ganged
Both channels are rated for resistive load, up to 10A per gang and 16A total across the two circuits.
The specification table rates each gang at 10A, with a combined 16A maximum for the two channels.
600 W single gang, derated to 500 W in a double gang and 400 W in a triple gang wallbox
SONOFF lists Surge, Overheat and Overload protection for this model and no separate overcurrent cut-off.
The dimmer has an Over Temperature Protection (OTP) mode: it drops the load and blinks the light bar four times when it runs too hot, typically after being overloaded or ganged without derating
The official product page lists Overheat Protection among the switch's built-in safeguards.
An overload is caught by the thermal protection rather than by a separate power cutoff, so exceeding the wattage rating is prevented by the derating chart, not by the dimmer
The product page lists Overload Protection among the switch's built-in safeguards.
Lutron documents surge withstand testing to IEEE C62.41-1991, which is immunity rather than a protective cutoff, and claims no overvoltage protection function
The product page lists Surge Protection, a cut-off against voltage spikes.
