- Owner's manual
Q: Is it compatible with the Amazon Echo?
A: The wall switches and outlet switches can. I have the Echo and it works great. Switches can be controlled as a group too. As I have done for my landscaping lighting. i have 11 of the wall and outlet switches. The WeMo bulbs do not work with Echo, I found this out after buying.
Q: Does this require a monthly service fee?
A: Short answer: no. In your home, the device connects to your WiFi. However, you can also sign up for an IFFFT account and control your device from the cloud using a myriad of internet-based data. That account is also free, and one of the reasons I bought the device since it will be located far away from my home.
Q: This may sound stupid- but can I use the app to operate the Belkin switch, say.... from India?
A: Yes, you can. I used to turn and off the lights in the house to freak out my boyfriend when I would travel. A very fun game.
Q: Will this work with the Google Home?
A: I am an employee in the connected home department at Best Buy and at the moment the switch will not work with Google Home. But there might be a future update that will allow you to do this.
Q: What is the max load it will handle? Can it control a window air conditioner (120 V, 12 Amps)
A: Yes, I used mine to control a window a/c. Great convenience to be able to turn on before I get home. But software is lacking. Sometimes the app doesnt show all of my devices, has crashed a few times, and the scheduler does not work at all.
A: You're right that it won't. Once the power goes off the TV shuts down. When you switch the power back on (via Wemo) the TV would need to be manually turned back on. There may be a type of SmartTV that you could buy that would allow you access to turn it on and off via internet. Not sure.
Q: can you turn a thermostat up or down
A: No, all this can do it turn the outlet on and off. I use mine to turn a neon wall clock on and off on a schedule so it doesnt stay lit 24/7.
Q: Planning to put this switch in my attic. Is it safe? given the temp can be hot during summer?
A: It should be fine, as long as the rating of the device to be switched is below the specified rating, switch is rated for 15A, but my comment on it, is better if used below such rating, these devices are safety tested so they should be OK for indoor use, if not should be stated in the specs or instructions. Hope everything goes well, this is my second device and so far they work as intended, using them with Alexa expands the possibilities.
