Finicky to set up. Added it to HomeKit. Programmed scenes. Nothing happened when the buttons were pressed. Deleted and re-added it multiple times, same outcome. Decided to try it one more time and it miraculously started working. Now it’s been rock solid. Instant response. Thread enabled. Looks 1000 times better than my old ugly Hue switch.

This WeMo stage scene controller isn't perfect, but it does what it's supposed to do and appears to do it better than the competition — and options for thread-compatible HomeKit switches are limited. PRO: * Easy to install, set up, and program * Three buttons and three programs per button (single press, double press, long press), means potentially nine functions in one switch! CON: * Only been using it for a week and the battery is at 82%! * Sometimes takes two or three presses to "wake up" and start working * Needs a stronger magnet holding the remote to the wall mount. Just takes a slight jostle to knock it off * Should include screws for wall mount. The tape only stuck for a few minutes, and it requires just the right screw heads because there's not much room

I live in an apatment currently and changing the wiring to suport switches like Lutron’s are not possible which means you have to get creative in order to get the switch feel I was looking for. After about 20 minutes of this switch being setup the Thread update came through the Home App and it has worked with minimal latency ever since. This is not perfect but I am happy with how it turned out in my situation when it is controling many scense in my apartment.

As we all know, homekit is hot garbage. Having that as the only way to use this guarantees it will be returned as soon as I can get a hue switch,and if I can’t return it then its e-waste. Having absolutely no HomeAssistant compatibility is even worse. If this was just a regular wemo product I would probably give it 3.5 stars. Its small, the magnet is very weak, and it feels very cheap. Connecting it to homekit was far easier than their in wall switches (I have a 75% failure rate) so thats nice I guess. If you’re used to apples pathetic excuse called HomeKit then go ahead and buy it. But just know it’ll be a disaster at some point.

I bought these to control scenes created primarily for Nanoleaf lights and I’m not convinced they’ll ever work correctly. The lights are garbage, too. I am constantly trouble shooting these as they become non responsive. Who’s got time for this? Absolute junk.
