Data from the official Fibaro and Sonoff sites.
2026 verdict
Need Google Home in the mix? The Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug is the stronger buy of these two smart plugs, with a longer warranty and a much bigger 3840W load ceiling against the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU)'s 2500W.
It is also Matter-certified on its own, reaching Google Home and Samsung SmartThings, platforms the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) does not answer to at all. The two are closely matched everywhere else: energy monitoring, overheat protection, connectivity and owner rating are all effectively tied, so the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) holds its ground rather than pulling ahead anywhere. Its one real edge is coming in more than one color, where the Sonoff plug ships in white only. Both connect directly with no hub required. Choose the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug for the wider platform reach, higher load ceiling and longer warranty; stick with the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) only if Apple HomeKit and Alexa already cover everything you need and a color option matters.
