Aqara Smart Plug (EU) vs Aqara Smart Plug (US)

The Aqara Smart Plug (EU) comes out ahead overall, mainly because it is the more affordable of the two and carries a higher 2300W maximum load rating versus 1875W. That said, these are the same underlying Zigbee plug in two regional formats, so the real deciding factor is which mains standard and socket type your home uses.

The core difference is regional: the EU model uses a Type F (Schuko) plug rated 2300W at 250V, while the US model uses a Type B plug rated 1875W at 100-125V. The US version also lists a gray color option in addition to white.

Yes. Both connect over Zigbee and require a Zigbee hub (such as an Aqara hub, with Matter available through it), and both act as Zigbee routers that relay signal to extend the mesh for other devices. Each also includes energy monitoring and overheat/overload protection.

Buyers on European Type F outlets who want the more affordable option with a higher 2300W load ceiling, plus Zigbee router and energy-monitoring functionality, should choose the Aqara Smart Plug (EU).

Buyers in North America running Type B outlets should choose the Aqara Smart Plug (US), which delivers the same Zigbee control, router role and energy monitoring on 100-125V power and adds a gray color choice.
