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.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.1800w, at 15amps according to Belkin. Other people on the Wemo site have said they use it to control air conditioners.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't have the specs on hand. Nor do I know how many amps your AC is drawing. But if it can't you could always hook it up to a relay to switch it on and off with.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should it's rated for 15 amp
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Printed on the switch it is rated at 120V 15A.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In short yes. The Wemo is designed to handle a load that a normal circuit can handle. Most circuits are 15 to 20 amp circuits so this was designed to handle that. This is effectively just an on/off switch.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is a great question that I have not been able to get an answer for. However, from an engineering perspective, we could deduce that since the outlet plugs into a 120VAC 15A-capable outlet, it should be able to handle that same level of current output. So if I were a betting man, I'd say it should support your application.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should. The plug-in switches are rated for 15amps. The window unit will run at a much lower current draw but could go up to 12 amps on startup (which is when you turn it on with the switch).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It can totally handle a window A/C unit (as long as it is 120v or less). If you use it with IFTTT you can have it turn on and off with certain outside temperatures.
