For my application, I don't need anything more beyond "Sonoff" functionality, which has the added advantage of being an already-complete product and cheap.

I own a Particle Lepton. I have found it completely unusable in terms of reliability. I've not tried the electron. For my intended application, WIFI is adequate.
