Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) vs Philips Hue Smart plug (US) comparison

Updated August 2026

Data from Amazon and official Fibaro and Philips sites.

2026 verdict

Better rating, lower price, longer warranty: the Philips Hue Smart plug (US) takes this smart plug comparison, adding a wider integration list and Zigbee router capability that the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) does not provide. The two also target different regions and radios, the Hue is a Type B plug that connects over Zigbee through the Hue Bridge (with Bluetooth locally), while the Fibaro is a Type F European plug with its own Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and no hub needed. The Fibaro is not without merit: it carries a higher 2500W maximum load against the Hue's 1800W, and it adds energy monitoring plus overheat and overload protection, all missing from the Hue. Go with the Philips Hue Smart plug (US) if you have a Hue Bridge and want its reliability and 2-year warranty; go with the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) for a hub-free European plug with power tracking and a higher load.
