My office has recessed lighting that was way too bright for night time. I wanted a dimmer that I could also control from my phone so I went with the WEMO smart dimmer. This thing has been awesome! The dimmer is really easy to use by just sliding your finger up or down. Turning it on and off requires much less force than I originally thought. After realizing you only need to tap it, it makes the experience even better. I use iPhone so I set the light up with apple homekit. Whenever I need to change my light I can just ask siri or open my control center and change it in seconds. Setup was fairly easy but just make sure you kill the power where you are working and have some electrical knowledge. I highly recommend this dimmer to anyone who enjoys tech in their home.

I bought two of these to replace two previous-generation WeMo wall dimmers in my home. The prior devices would pretty regularly lose connectivity with WiFi and (therefore) the app. Thus far, these new-generation devices have not exhibited that problem. They were easy to install because I'd already sorted out and labeled the requisite four wire attachments needed for each unit in my wall switch box. If you've never installed a WeMo switch before, note that you must identify both the Common and the Ground wires, as well as the two powered wires. The installation instructions really help in identifying these though. The only reason I'm not raving about these switches is that our general frustration with WeMo has reached a point where we're transitioning our house away from WeMo to Kasa devices. The customer service for WeMo has been VERY unhelpful with troubleshooting a variety of programming and connectivity issues we've had. The WeMo user forums have been much more helpful, but even on those, a considerable number of customers are saying they've had it with WeMo. It was on such a forum that we learned about Kasa. So, yes, this device is good and may reflect that WeMo is finally getting their act together, but overall, we're moving on.

Awesome product. Installation was easy and works great, but it does have some quirks. For example, setting the brightness to 100% makes the light turn completely off, but if I set it to 99%, the light appears to be at peak brightness. Same thing happens below 10%, it just shuts off. If it weren’t for those strange quirks, I would rate 5 stars. No bridge or hub required to work with HomeKit which is a great feature.

Easy install, decent manufacture’s app, pairs well and easily with Alexa, and works fine on its own with no apps!

Verdict: This Wemo dimmer switch was easy to install and works flawlessly. Most importantly for us, it looks amazing: it is sleek, modern, and functional. We ordered 5 more of these for the house. Initial impressions. The switch is very nicely designed. It comes with a VERY nice instructional pamphlet. I have installed a lot of smart switches over the last few years, and typically the instructions are not user-friendly. In this case, the instructions are as good as it gets. I do not like the cover that came with the switch… it’s too modern for our house, so I paired it with an architectural cover (see pictures). The thickness of the switch is smaller than other switches I have used; this makes fitting the switch into the wall casing easier. Physical Setup. For your safety, make sure that you cut the power before doing electric work. The instructions make installation easy, assuming you have a neutral wire. I am not sure what is the recourse if you don’t have a neutral wire. The switch came with four twist-on wire connectors for convenience. Installation took just 10 minutes. App. I installed the switch through the Wemo app. It was a smooth process with no glitches. I really like the long-press customization option. Once I install additional Wemo switches, I plan to setup different actions on different switches with the long-press option. Once installed, the switch automatically populated to the Apple Home app and to the Alexa app. I was able to use it right away on our echo. Operation. The switch takes a fraction of a second to turn on the light when pressed, which is normal with Wi-Fi switches. It has a nice tactile feel. I love that the color of the LED is white, rather than another color. The dimmer function works well and is easy to use. I like that the light remembers the last brightness setting it was on. Things I like: - It looks sleek and modern, and it can look good in any environment with just a switch of the cover (see picture) - Physical installation was easy to follow, thanks to the great instructions - Installation through the app was easy, and the app works well - The switch worked immediately with voice assistants - Dimming is smooth; we have not seen any flickering - The light smoothly dims on and off Things I don’t like: - I wish the app was more powerful, but this is easily remediated through the use of other apps from your voice assistant Overall, this is a fantastic switch. It works the way we want, and it looks amazing. We highly recommend this Wemo dimmable switch.
