Amazon Smart Plug vs Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) (2026)

Updated September 2026

Data from Amazon and official Fibaro site.

2026 verdict

Winner

Between two Alexa-compatible plugs, only one adds real energy data: the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) beats the Amazon Smart Plug as a smart plug, pairing energy monitoring, overheat and overload protection and a physical switch with Apple HomeKit and Home Assistant support the Amazon plug does not offer. Both connect directly over Wi-Fi, so neither needs a separate smart home hub to get online, and the Fibaro adds Bluetooth for setup. The Amazon Smart Plug answers back with a lower price and a slightly higher owner rating, along with the simplest possible Alexa-only setup for anyone who has no interest in HomeKit or energy tracking. Keep in mind the two use different regional plug standards, Type B for the Amazon Smart Plug and Type F for the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU), so the right pick also depends on which outlets you actually have. Choose the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) for HomeKit support and energy monitoring on European sockets, and the Amazon Smart Plug for the cheapest, fastest way to add Alexa control on US-style outlets.
