The Sonoff is rated for 16 A and 4000 W, measures energy with daily, monthly and yearly history, and works with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. The Amazon Smart Plug is the better reviewed of the two and the easiest to set up for pure Alexa control, but it is a North American Type B plug at 120 V, has no energy monitoring and is Alexa only. Buy the Sonoff S60 to schedule and meter a washing machine, dryer or heater, and the Amazon plug only for a European-free, Alexa-only home.

What the differences mean

Plug format and region

The Amazon Smart Plug is a North American Type B plug rated for 120 V, and the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 is a European Type F plug rated for 250 V. They are not interchangeable, so the outlet decides first. A European buyer cannot use the Amazon plug, and a North American buyer cannot use the Sonoff S60 as sold.

Load rating

The Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 tops the pair at 16 A and 4000 W, enough for a washing machine, a dryer, a dishwasher or a space heater. The Amazon Smart Plug is rated at 15 A on 120 V and is meant for ordinary household devices. If the appliance pulls serious current, only one of these two is built for it.

Energy monitoring

The Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 reports daily, monthly and yearly consumption through the eWeLink app, so you can confirm an appliance ran and see what it cost. The Amazon Smart Plug has no energy monitoring and cannot report usage, only switch the outlet. For tracking consumption, the Sonoff is the one.

Ecosystems

The Amazon Smart Plug is Alexa only, with no Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter. The Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 works with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, reaches SmartThings through the official eWeLink cloud integration, and adds Apple Home and Matter through a SONOFF bridge. It covers far more platforms.

App and account

The Amazon Smart Plug is set up inside the Alexa app, with no separate account. The Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 depends on the eWeLink app and an account for setup and automations, which is also where its energy history lives; some owners were uncomfortable with the app's permission and location requests.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both plugs come back to the same two themes: a fast setup and switching that holds. Amazon Smart Plug owners lead with the setup, saying an Echo recognizes it in seconds with no hub, and use it for lamps, fans and lights; they warn that it is Alexa only, cannot meter power and is bulky. Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 owners praise how easily it takes heavy loads and how precise its energy data is, and they describe the eWeLink setup as quick; a few flag the app account and permission prompts, and some found the initial pairing tedious.

Frequently Asked Questions
