Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) vs Shelly Smart Plug (US) comparison

Updated May 2026

Data from Amazon and official Fibaro and Shelly sites.

2026 verdict

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.
