Non-App inferface? Can the WeMo switch be controlled from a Windows/Linux computer via web (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc) or SSH? I'd like to use in conjunction with an automated process that can be run from Windows or Linux to power cycle devices.

It cannot be control directly by Windows or Linux. You can get around it by installing an android emulator like Blustacks and installing the Wemo app on it, but it probably best to catch up with the 21st century and get yourself a smartphone.

You don't have to use thier app if you have a hub but I haven't seen a wemo app to specifically use on the computer. I'm sure they show up on your network and get some network tools to watch how the app controls it and tweak as necessary.

I don't think so, you need to use the app. WeMo devices can be used with IFTTT and the Amazon Echo.

No wemo does not directly support that. But I have heard of people controlling it from a virtual android device. Insteon devices are better suited for automation with apps like eventghost or telnet scripts.

Nope, Chuck. The WEMO devices can only be controlled via WEMO App using an Android and iOS handheld or wireless devices. We'll take note of your suggestions and relay it to our Development Team.
