What the differences mean
Plug format and region
The Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) is a European Type F plug at 250 V, and the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring is a North American Type B plug at 120 V. They serve different outlets and are not interchangeable, so the region decides first. This is the one difference a buyer cannot work around.
Integrations
The Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) works with Apple HomeKit and Alexa, and with Home Assistant through its HomeKit Device integration, but has no Google Home, SmartThings or Matter. The GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring covers Alexa and Google Home, plus Home Assistant through a community Bluetooth integration, and also lacks Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter.
Load rating
The Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) is rated for 2500 W at 10 A, and the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring for 1800 W at 15 A. On their own voltages both switch a lamp or a moderate appliance comfortably; the Fibaro's higher wattage suits a heavier load on a European outlet, while the Govee's 15 A rating is generous for North American devices.
Size and weight
The Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) is compact at 43 by 43 by 64 mm but heavy at 180 g, and owners say it sits flush without blocking the outlets around it. The GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring is longer at 68 by 38 by 61 mm and much lighter at 77 g, so it takes a little more room on a strip but is easier to move.
Colors
The Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) is available in more than one color, which owners mention when matching an outlet or a room. The GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring comes in a single color. It is a small point, but it is one of the few where the Fibaro gives a buyer a genuine choice.
Which one to buy if
- you want Apple HomeKit support
The Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) pairs with Apple HomeKit, which the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring does not support.
- you have a European outlet and a heavier load
The Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) is rated for 2500 W on a Type F socket and is built for years of use.
- you are in North America and want budget metering
The GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring meters consumption on a 120 V outlet for less than the Fibaro asks.

At 77 g against 180 g, the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring is the easier one to carry.
- you want a colored plug to match the room
The Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) comes in more than one color, while the Govee plug does not.

What owners say
Owners of both plugs describe energy monitoring they actually use and a simple setup, and then they part ways on priorities. Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) owners lean on build quality, saying several units have run for years without failing, and they like checking real-time consumption and pairing it with Apple HomeKit; their complaints are the premium price and, for a minority, Wi-Fi connections that dropped and needed re-pairing. GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring owners highlight the easy Wi-Fi and Bluetooth setup and the usage history in the Govee app, and a few dislike that same app, with one reporting the side button failing while app control kept working.
