Data from Amazon and official Eve and YoLink sites.
2026 verdict
Indoors versus outdoors, the Eve Energy (EU) takes the overall win as a smart plug, handling up to 2500W and joining a Thread network directly, where the YoLink Smart Outdoor Energy Plug relies on the YoLink hub and its long-range LoRa link. The YoLink answers with an IP63 weather rating for patios and garden lights, plus the better reviews of the two. Both track energy use, both have a physical button, and both reach Apple Home and Matter, the Eve natively and the YoLink through the YoLink Local Hub. Pick the Eve for European indoor sockets and the YoLink for a North American outdoor outlet far from the router.
