Philips Hue Smart plug (EU) vs Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 comparison

Data from Amazon and official Philips and Sonoff sites.

2026 verdict

For most buyers, the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 is the smarter smart plug pick overall, since it comes in cheaper than the Philips Hue Smart plug (EU) while nearly doubling the maximum load and adding real energy monitoring on top of overheat/overload protection. The Philips Hue Smart plug (EU) leans on a stronger owner rating, a longer warranty and its Zigbee router role, which strengthens a Hue Bridge mesh in a way the Sonoff simply cannot. Households already running a Hue Bridge will still find the Philips Hue Smart plug (EU) worth the premium for its reliability and instant response, but anyone shopping without existing Hue gear, or who wants to power a heavier appliance with usage tracking, gets more value from the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall: Philips Hue Smart plug (EU) or Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60?

The Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 wins overall on price, maximum load and energy monitoring. The Philips Hue Smart plug (EU) still makes sense for Hue Bridge households thanks to its higher rating, longer warranty and Zigbee router function.

What is the biggest difference between the Philips Hue Smart plug (EU) and the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60?

Wireless protocol and dependency on a hub. The Philips Hue Smart plug (EU) runs over Zigbee through the Hue Bridge and doubles as a Zigbee router, while the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 connects directly over Wi-Fi with no hub, handling nearly double the maximum load in the process.

Does either plug monitor energy usage?

Only the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 does. The Philips Hue Smart plug (EU) has no energy-monitoring feature, keeping its focus on reliable on/off control, schedules and automations within the Hue ecosystem.

Who should buy the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60?

Choose the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 if you want the more affordable plug with a higher load ceiling and built-in energy monitoring, and you don't need Zigbee mesh support.

Choose the Philips Hue Smart plug (EU) if you already run a Hue Bridge and want a highly rated, long-warrantied plug that also extends your Zigbee mesh as a router.
