Quick review\/comparison of Innr Smart Plug and the new Philips Hue Smart Plug. First impression:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side-by-side physical comparison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Innr’s plug is considerably smaller, and the Hue plug actually feels clumpsy next to it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s bigger in all dimensions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now, let’s compare functionality. Both plugs have a two-color LED showing whether it’s on or off, and both also have a physical button to turn it on or off. Both plugs are easy to integrate with a Philips Hue bridge and offers the same functionality. The Philips Hue plug also supports Bluetooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s quickly throw in an IKEA Tr\u00e5dfri wireless control outlet before we compare power consumption. I collegue of mine brought one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s even bigger than the Hue version, and also without any physical button. However, at only half the price of the Hue\/Innr plugs, it’s definitely worth considering where size and the physical button doesn’t matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
