Type E/F smart plug with energy monitoring
Power Plug H2 EU is worth its roughly €30 price when a 16 A Matter-over-Thread plug is the actual requirement, especially if the option to move into Aqara Zigbee is useful.
Outdoor plug with energy monitoring
S61s Outdoor is good value for a protected Type F outlet, especially if Home Assistant or SmartThings will use the energy readings.
Schuko Matter Wi-Fi plug and EnOcean bridge
FSR100-IPM makes sense when its built-in EnOcean bridge can replace another box in an existing installation.
Matter-over-Thread Smart Plug
GRILLPLATS is an appealing budget plug for an existing Thread home, and the remote kit is a particularly sensible way to control a bedside lamp.
Matter-over-Thread Outdoor Smart Plug
TOFSMYGGA is a good-value outdoor switch for two lighting jobs when Thread already reaches the patio.
Four-outlet Schuko power strip with per-socket metering
Shelly Power Strip 4 Gen4 is worth €59.90 when four nearby devices need separate control and metering without a row of adapters.

Smart Plug & Energy Meter
A useful €44.95 plug when you want energy readings, automatic standby cutoff or a powered Thread device in the same location.
10 A Schuko Matter Wi-Fi plug with energy monitoring
The LEDVANCE SMART+ Matter Plug EU is a competent meter for a modest indoor load, but it is hard to recommend as the default Schuko plug.
Single-socket outdoor smart plug with power monitoring
Shelly Outdoor Plug S Gen3 is a sensible €31.90 option for controlling one outdoor lighting circuit from an existing European socket.
Indoor smart plug with metering and an ambient-light sensor
Shelly Plug US Gen4 is a good choice when you will use its local automation tools, configurable controls or alternative Zigbee mode.
EU smart plug, energy meter and small SwitchBot gateway
A useful plug when its stored schedules, Bluetooth fallback or SwitchBot accessory gateway will have a real job.
Matter Outdoor Smart Wi-Fi Dimmer Plug
P430M is an appealing low-cost upgrade for outdoor lights that are already dimmable.
Matter Wi-Fi Smart Plug with Power Metering
Smart Plug M1 is worth considering for one metering outlet in Home Assistant or SmartThings, especially as part of a larger order.
In-wall Type F smart outlet with energy monitoring
Wall Outlet H2 EU is worth considering when a permanent, tidy Schuko socket is part of planned electrical work and an Aqara Matter hub is already running.
North American two-outlet Matter Wi-Fi outdoor plug
Cync's two-outlet outdoor plug is a sensible $39.95 buy when Wi-Fi already reaches a cold patio and two separate controls matter.
Compact indoor smart plug with power monitoring
Shelly has discontinued the Plug S MTR Gen3 and points buyers to Plug M Gen3, a Matter plug with metering and a higher 13 A rating that costs about the same as the cheapest leftover S stock.
Matter Smart Wi-Fi Lamp Dimmer Plug Kit
The included rotary button makes P135 KIT a good buy for a matching pair of ordinary lamps.
Schuko Wi-Fi on/off plug without energy metering
A serviceable basic switch for a lamp or indoor decoration, especially as a discounted add-on or multipack.
Matter Outdoor Smart Wi-Fi Plug
Worth its $59.99 price when the dusk sensor, cold-weather rating or optional wall switch solves a specific outdoor problem.
Schuko Matter Wi-Fi on/off plug
P100M is worth keeping if you already use it to switch a lamp.
Mini Matter Smart Wi-Fi Plug
P125M is a good inexpensive choice for one ordinary lamp, particularly when a shallow plug matters.
Mini Matter Smart Wi-Fi Plug
TP15 is a useful compact lamp switch, but its checked two-pack price makes it hard to recommend over the metering P110M.
Indoor Smart Wi-Fi Plug
Buy D215P when an ordinary lamp needs a wall switch without new wiring.
