Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Yes. The Meross website shows regional product variants for US, EU, UK, AU, and JP markets, indicating not all products are universally available worldwide. Regional thermostat models differ between markets, suggesting firmware or voltage differences prevent cross-region use.

Savant does not publish pricing on its website. Customers must contact the sales team or use the dealer locator to request quotes.

Source
Meross: Do all Meross devices support energy monitoring?

No. Only certain plug and switch models including MSS305, MSS715, and MSS815 include energy monitoring. Basic plugs like MSS110 lack this feature.

Source
Savant: How does Savant pricing work?

Savant appears to use a custom quote model. Interested customers are directed to a 'Get Smart Consultation' or dealer locator rather than self-serve purchasing.

Source
Meross: Do Meross sensors require a hub to operate?

Some sensors do require a hub for full functionality. Door/window sensors (MS200H) and water leak sensors (MS405H) appear to require an MSH-series hub for proper operation, limiting standalone capability.
