The YoLink Mini Plug earns its place with energy monitoring, a lower price and a path to Apple HomeKit, SmartThings and Matter through the YoLink Local Hub. They are built for different outlets, though, since the Hue is a Type F European plug and the YoLink a Type B plug for North America. Hue light owners in Europe should reach for the Hue; YoLink users who want consumption data and long-range reach should stay with the YoLink.
