WiZ Smart Plug (EU)

The WiZ Smart Plug (EU) from WiZ connects to your smart home over Wi-Fi. It joins your existing network directly, without a Thread Border Router or extra hub, and your Matter controller reaches it through your home router.

Wi-Fi Band

Most Matter Wi-Fi devices only connect on 2.4 GHz. If your router combines 2.4 and 5 GHz under one SSID, split them to avoid issues.

Same Network

Your phone, your controller and the device must be on the same network. Guest networks and separate VLANs can block Matter.

Power Use

Wi-Fi uses more power than Thread, so most Matter over Wi-Fi devices run on mains power instead of batteries.

Every Matter device needs a Matter controller, like a smart hub, display or speaker. See all Matter hubs →

Matter Version

Matter 1.4

The WiZ Smart Plug (EU) is certified on Matter 1.4, released in November 2024. It added solar panels, batteries, heat pumps, water heaters and home routers with Thread built in. It also brought energy management, easier multi-platform setup and longer battery life for sensors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the WiZ Smart Plug (EU) need a smart hub?

Yes, but only a Matter controller from your platform, not a separate bridge. The WiZ Smart Plug (EU) connects straight to your home network. The controller can be an Apple home hub, a Google Nest speaker, an Amazon Echo or Home Assistant.

Does the WiZ Smart Plug (EU) work without internet?

Yes. Matter runs on your local network, so the WiZ Smart Plug (EU) keeps working when your internet goes down. Remote access, voice assistants and some WiZ cloud features may still need a working connection.

Does the WiZ Smart Plug (EU) work with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant?

Yes. The WiZ Smart Plug (EU) is Matter certified, so it works with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant, as long as the platform supports Plug devices. Support for newer device types can differ per platform.

Do I need the WiZ app to use the WiZ Smart Plug (EU)?

No. Any Matter hub can set up and control the WiZ Smart Plug (EU) without the WiZ app. Some advanced features may not be part of Matter yet, so settings like firmware updates or special modes can still require the WiZ app.

How do I set up the WiZ Smart Plug (EU)?

Open your smart home app, choose to add a device and scan the Matter QR code on the WiZ Smart Plug (EU) or its packaging. You can also type in the 11-digit Matter code instead. The app guides you through the rest. Keep the code safe, you need it again after a reset.
