Cool Product, Terrible App
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a cool device for those looking to make their home more automated. The app is terrible though and freezes constantly. Also you have to upgrade the firmware after downloading the app and it takes almost 20 minutes to do.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat once it is online
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was hard to add to my wireless network. Tech Support was hard to get a hold of. I had a friend who suggested to reset the box and that did the trick. Once it is up and on network, it works great.
I would recommend this to a friendIts okay. Nothing to get excited about.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is okay. I had issues with setting up and also linking with my other smart home devices (i.e., insteon). I will give this product a try when other smart devices are readily available.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I spent a 1/2 hour trying to set this up w/ my Android Sony phone...it would find it, set it up, but would not connect. Not worth the hassle, I'll wait until something more compatible comes out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOk, but having trouble making it work.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the idea for this device, but I still have trouble getting it to work properly. It may be that I'm not patient enough, but with time, I could change my tune on this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNeeds work...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this to link with my Amazon Dot to control with Alexa, it connected at 1st but kept dropping connection. I bought the TP-Link instead and it works flawlessly.

Removing the switch from your Amazon Dot account and adding it again could help in stabilizing its connection with Alexa. For assistance, please email us at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post so we can have you contacted by Wemo Experts.

When it works it's great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like it, it's convenient but it disconnects from the network often. The network is good and all other devices have wifi access, but wemo likes to disconnect.

Posted .Hi, Greg,
The distance of the switch from the router could've affected the stability of its connection. To help you isolate this challenge, allow us to have our Wemo Experts contact you. Please email us at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post for our reference.

Convenient but show
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a big fan of the hue system but wanted to add this to control some porch strand lighting I have. The Hue works immediately but the wemo switch has quite a lag.

Posted .Hi, Atshopro,
Using the Switch is indeed one of the convenient ways to control your light porch. Can you tell us the details about the lag? Do you experience it when turning it on or off? Does it happen even when you are locally controlling it? Its distance from the router could've affected its performance. Try to relocate it and observe if there will be improvements. We'd be happy to hear from you via email at [email protected] and indicate the subject or link to this post.

Wall Wart
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this a few years back. it does what it does well but it consumed a lot of space on the outlet. if this isnt an issue, you're good

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.App doesn't work very well with this model. however, the app has been updated many times since i downloaded it so maybe it's better now.

Couldn't Connect to Wifi
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really excited to use this item to control 1 device in my home. But when I tried to connect to wifi via the iPhone app, it just wouldn't connect appropriately. After searching online, I found out that a lot of people have issues connecting to wifi, with no available fix. I tried a few suggestions, but nothing worked. Went straight back to Best Buy.

Posted .Hi, knavarro01,
Thanks for sharing your feedback. Wireless Interference and Incompatible router settings are just one of the possibilities why your WEMO Switch failed to connect to your Wi-Fi. And this challenge can easily be addressed by powercycling your router and changing the channel settings of your main Wi-Fi router. Resetting the WEMO switch is also a suggested fix.
If you decide to purchase a WEMO device in the future, we will gladly welcome you back as one of our valued customers and answer any questions you may have. Feel free to contact us at [email protected], anytime. Please indicate your contact details, the Title and link to this review for reference.
We'd be more than willing to help you out.

pretty basic functionality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty basic functionality. I'm still looking for a really good use other than controlling lighting. But if that is your need, this works perfectly.
I would recommend this to a friendSometimes works sometimes does not
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is ok...not great. Often does not work. Use to turn an engine heater on from home....

I would recommend this to a friendNice concept. Spotty performance.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unit constantly loses connection and can't be discovered by the control app or Alexa. When it works it is great.
