Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great device. Works well with the Amazon Echo and mobile App. Easy setup, took maybe 5 minutes. Like that it has an override button right on the unit itself. I can't wait to add a few more around the house.

No complaints about this. Love that it works with Amazon Echo for voice control. The app works well also. I like this over the others because it doesn't require a base station. You just need this device.

The Wemo switch is one member of a family of products from Belkin that enable home automation directly via your home internet. A separate hub is not required. The switch and other Wemo components are easy to set up via your iPhone. On/off times are easily set via the Wemo app including using sunrise and sunset based on your local location. If enabled, remote access is possible via wifi or cellular. IFTTT also supported. Rated 4 rather than 5 as knowledge of IFTTT is required to take full advantage of the Wemo products.

I can now voice on my lights in my condo from anywhere

we have used these before and works well and now have 5

I really like this product. Works well..Its a must buy.

Easy to use and set up. Works well with my Amazon Echo. Set up was quick and easy and my wife loves that she can turn on the lights before she walks in the house.

Perfect for my basement. Looking to get another one.

I love the ease of use as well as the concept behind it. I bought this because I had a rebate back for this through ibotta and coupons to use and I love my decision. I will definitely be purchasing more of these for the rest of my home. I love that I'm able to turn items in my home on from anywhere. I've got this one in use with an air purifier that has scented oils in it. If I leave and forgot to turn it off I can still do that from the road or I can turn it on on my way home so my house has a beautiful frangrance when I walk through the door from a trip, etc.

This is a great switch that is great for controlling lights. Works great as a timer that can be over-ridden without loosing the settings. Works well with Amazon Echo and is easily installed and setup.

I can't complain. It does what its supposed to. Never had any problems with it. Be prepared to be even more of a couch potato. You won't even have to get off your seat when paired with the Alexa.

Home automation devices will be changing a lot in the next few years but for now its worth spending the money on this device. The device works well but the app isn't always perfect. Had some issues with it at first but the most recent Belkin update of its app fixed everything.

Product worked just as I had hoped. slightly more expensive than I expected but its a good product and works well with echo dot. Would stockpile at $20. Hopefully over time Wemo will drop price.

The switch is great. It works with Alexa to turn lights off and on. The Wemo is very user friendly. One drawback to the switch is the size. Could be smaller.

Easy to set up and great for any device that you want controlled by a timer. You can easily control your device while away from home using a WiFi connection or from your cell phone. A little pricy, but worth it.

Works great 4 the garage fan I have set for my dog

I purchased an Amazon Echo as a Christmas present for my wife, and figured that I should purchase some "smart home" devices to augment that gift. In all honesty, I didn't know much about the various options available, and needed to do some research. Obviously, the Phillips Hue line is a big name in smart home illumination, but I was drawn to the Belkin WeMo products because they would quickly integrate with my existing lighting. Being simply an additional component between the outlet and anything you would plug into it, it seems that there is more inherent flexibility in the application of the technology. Another benefit of the WeMo system is that, while most other ecosystems require an additional "hub" device, these do not - they are simply connected to your WiFi router directly. This meant they would be comparatively inexpensive to get up and running. Setup is relatively painless, requiring a WiFi router, and a smartphone capable of installing the Belkin WeMo app. Once you've installed the app, you have to connect directly to the adhoc WiFi connection created by the switch device when you press the single button on top. This will first pair the device directly with your phone and register it in the WeMo app. You then have to connect to your home WiFi router to finalize the connection between the device and your router. The scant directions on the box do not make this clear, but you can find a video on YouTube that will walk you through the process. You also may have to turn off an option (at least in Android) that automatically switches to your data connection when wireless is unavailable, as that can interfere with this process. Once your device is fully paired, you can name it something descriptive - say "living room lamp" - for easier identification in the WeMo app. This also comes in handy when integrating voice commands via Alexa. We initially connected our Christmas tree to one of the switches, which we naturally named "Christmas tree" in the app, and a display of light-up houses to the other one, nicknamed "Christmas Village". To enable voice commands, you can open the Alexa app on your smartphone, open the menu and select "Smart Home", then select "discover devices" at the bottom of the page. Alternatively, just say "Alexa, discover new devices" and it should find and integrate with your WeMo devices (as well as any other "smart home" devices you may have). If you modify the name of a device, as was the case when we removed the Christmas tree from our home and replaced it with a floor lamp, you will have to do this discovery again before it will recognize the new name via voice command. After you've done this, you will be able to say "Alexa, turn on {device name}" (in our initial configuration, we could say "Alexa, turn on the Christmas tree" and "Alexa, turn on the Christmas Village" and it would succeed every time). In conclusion, if you are looking for a quick and inexpensive way to get in on the Smart Home craze, the Belkin WeMo Smart Switch is a great introductory device which will definitely augment the usefulness of a voice command system such as Amazon Echo. We've only had these for two weeks or so at this point, so time will tell how long they last, but the Belkin name gives me confidence, as I've had quite a few of their products in the past and have not been disappointed, including our current WiFi router. The fact that you do not need an additional hub device (other than your router) is a huge benefit.

Belkin is doing its part to bring us "The Internet of Things," one outlet at a time. Just plug it in, and it becomes a wi-fi access point. Download the wemo app, connect your device to the WeMo's network, and fire up the app. The rest is pretty much automatic... you'll be ready to control that outlet from anywhere. The built-in app allows you to set up timed control of the device, but if you want maximum versatility, go set up an account at IFTTT.com (If This, Then That) which can monitor a plethora of online data sources, and trigger your WeMo switch whenever different things happen.

Easy install and setup. Alexa works well controlling it. It is not as obvious how to integrated it with Wink.

Easy to setup, works well. I can schedule lights to come on at a time and go off at a time that I choose. I can turn on lights, if I get home late and will have lights on when I get there.
