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

Full Smart Plugs comparison in 2026

Updated October 2026
Data from the official Aqara and Fibaro sites.
2026 verdict
The Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) takes this comparison over the Aqara Smart Plug (US) on the fundamentals of a plug: a marginally better owner rating, a higher 2500W maximum load against 1875W, and direct Wi-Fi with Bluetooth setup, so it works without buying a hub first. For switching a heater or a high-draw appliance, that headroom is the practical difference. The Aqara Smart Plug (US) is the better citizen of a smart home: it reaches Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Home Assistant, IFTTT and Matter through its hub, where the Fibaro is limited to Alexa and Apple HomeKit, and it acts as a Zigbee router so each plug extends the mesh for battery-powered sensors elsewhere in the house. Choose the Aqara Smart Plug (US) for the widest platform support and a stronger Zigbee network, and the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) for heavier loads and hub-free installation.
