Aqara Wall Outlet H2 EU vs Moes Smart WiFi 2 USB Wall Outlet

The Aqara Wall Outlet H2 EU, which adds energy monitoring, overheating and overpower protection, a higher load rating and Matter and Apple Home support. The Moes Smart WiFi 2 USB Wall Outlet is the pick for a hub-free North American outlet with USB charging.

The socket standard. The Aqara Wall Outlet H2 EU is a European Type F socket, and the Moes Smart WiFi 2 USB Wall Outlet is a North American Type B duplex, so which one fits depends on where you live.

For a European Zigbee home, its owners think so: they praise accurate energy monitoring that catches standby loads, a solid build and a clean fit in 55mm switch frames. Expect screw terminals and a body that needs a standard-depth wall box.

The Moes Smart WiFi 2 USB Wall Outlet does, over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, though it needs the internet to respond. The Aqara Wall Outlet H2 EU uses Zigbee and needs a hub or a Zigbee2MQTT coordinator.

European homeowners with a Zigbee hub who want a flush-mounted, energy-monitored socket with overload protection that works with Matter, Apple Home and Home Assistant.

North American renters and DIYers who want app, voice and schedule control of a duplex outlet with built-in USB charging, without buying a hub.
