The Philips Hue Smart plug (EU) is the better all-round smart plug here, with Google Home support, a 2-year warranty and a Zigbee router inside. It works with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit and Home Assistant, reaches SmartThings through the Hue Bridge and is the better reviewed of the two. The Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) answers with energy monitoring, overheat and overload protection, a slightly higher 2500W rating against 2300W, a more compact body and a choice of colors, but it has no Google Home or SmartThings support and a one-year warranty. Both are Type F plugs with a physical button, and both work with Apple HomeKit. Choose the Philips Hue Smart plug (EU) for a Hue or Google home, and the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) for an Apple or Alexa home that wants to see what each outlet consumes.

What the differences mean

Energy monitoring

The Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) shows real-time consumption. The Philips Hue Smart plug (EU) only switches power, so it cannot tell you what a device draws.

Platforms

The Hue plug covers Alexa, Google Home, HomeKit and Home Assistant, plus SmartThings through the Hue Bridge. The Fibaro covers Alexa, HomeKit and Home Assistant, with no Google Home or SmartThings.

Connection

The Fibaro connects over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth without a hub. The Hue plug runs on Zigbee through the Hue Bridge, with Bluetooth as a limited fallback, and repeats the mesh for other Hue devices.

Size

At 43 x 43 x 64 mm the Fibaro is the compact one and does not block adjacent outlets, while Hue owners say their 51 x 51 x 84 mm plug covers the neighbouring sockets on a strip.

Warranty

Philips covers the Hue plug for 2 years and Fibaro covers the Wall Plug for 1, which weighs on two plugs that both sit at the premium end.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both plugs describe well-made hardware that lasts, and both groups name the premium price as the catch. Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) owners single out real-time consumption at a glance, easy pairing with Apple HomeKit and color options that match their outlets, while a minority report Wi-Fi drops that needed re-pairing and several warn about ordering the right regional plug type. Philips Hue Smart plug (EU) owners praise a plug that shows up in the Hue app in under a minute and just works with HomeKit, Alexa and Google, and a build they trust over cheap plugs, and they complain that its wide body covers neighbouring sockets on a power strip and that it has no energy monitoring.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
