So..I like this startup kit as they state, but I just don't enjoy that it's so temperamental. It'll connect sometimes. (it depends on if I throw the right amount of salt grains over my shoulder WITH the right amount of velocity and or finesse) Maybe it just needs a firmware update? WHEN it does connect and I am able to switch colors from my phone (the only way you can) then it's awesome! People ask me where I got it and how much I paid (exact questions I ask when I see something I want and plan to buy) I spare them the connectivity issues because I just want to be positive about it. PLEASE just work ( I chant this when I got to make it work) I think it works when I do that! (Sometimes)

Spent 3 hrs with 2 different customer support staff and in summary, this thing simply does not and will not work. The first Customer Rep didn't even know what it was (I had to send him the website link). My best guess is that if your router has any type of security (like WPA or non transmitted SSID) which most do ... then the WEMO will never find your router, the app will not work and there is no way to get it to do so. We reset the lights, reset the router reloaded the app at least three times ... as I say, simply put, it does not work. Unfortunately this is a great idea for a product (I wanted desperately for it to work) but Belkin has announced prematurely. I would wait a year of so and maybe Belkin will get it to work. Right now, it is a waste of your time and money.

Loved this! Easy to set up on the Wemo app, so I can use my smartphone to turn it on and control the colors. It's easy to figure out where to cut and how to connect and the LED lights are actually bright enough to light up my entire bedroom (I have the strip running along my headboard) depending on the color and light "temperature" of course. Plenty of colors and brightness levels to choose from.
