The Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) wins this comparison against the Shelly Smart Plug (US) on the two things a plug is judged by: a stronger owner rating and a higher maximum load, 2500W against 1800W, which is the margin that decides whether a fan heater or a workshop tool is safe to switch. Its LED ring also doubles as a visual indicator of consumption, a small touch owners tend to like. The Shelly Smart Plug (US) answers on openness, and for many people that matters more: it works with Google Home and Home Assistant as well as Alexa, where the Fibaro is limited to Alexa and Apple HomeKit, so it fits a locally controlled setup far better and costs less. Both connect over Wi-Fi with no hub required. Choose the Shelly Smart Plug (US) for Home Assistant or Google Home at a lower price, and the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) when load capacity and owner-proven reliability come first.
