What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Meross Matter Smart Wi-Fi Plug Mini MSS115
Two whitelisted outlets covered the exact MSS115. TechHive published a full hands-on review; Engadget tried the plug but couldn't fully test it. Consensus: a cheap, compact Matter-certified plug that ultimately works but is bare-bones — clunky setup (painful multi-ecosystem pairing per TechHive, inconvenient Wi-Fi band-splitting per Engadget), no energy/power monitoring, Wi-Fi 2.4GHz only with no Thread radio, and connectivity drops during testing. Neither outlet published measured benchmarks. (2 sourced reviews, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Inexpensive for a Matter-certified plug; Compact design leaves neighboring outlets usable; Works with Matter across Alexa, HomeKit, Google Home and SmartThings.
Flagged: Clunky, involved setup — multi-ecosystem pairing hassle (TechHive) and required Wi-Fi splitting (Engadget); No energy/power monitoring; Wi-Fi 2.4GHz only, no Thread radio.
