Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better overall, the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) or the YoLink Mini Plug?
The Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) wins overall, thanks to a higher 2500W load and built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth that need no hub. The YoLink Mini Plug is the better answer only when you need long LoRa range to reach outlets far from the router.
What is the biggest difference between these two plugs?
Wireless technology. The YoLink Mini Plug uses long-range LoRa and requires the YoLink hub, reaching detached buildings and basements, while the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) connects directly over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with no hub and handles a higher 2500W load.
Do both plugs need a hub?
Only the YoLink Mini Plug requires a hub, since it communicates over LoRa. The Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) works on its own over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Both include energy monitoring and overheat and overload protection.
Who should buy the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU)?
Choose the Fibaro Wall Plug (EU) for a hub-free HomeKit or Alexa plug with a 2500W load, energy monitoring and overload protection, where the outlet is within normal Wi-Fi range.
Who should buy the YoLink Mini Plug?
Choose the YoLink Mini Plug if you already own or plan to add a YoLink hub and need to control an outlet in a basement, barn or detached building where Wi-Fi struggles, with the bonus of Matter support via the hub.
