This works great with the Amazon Echo. I can simply tell the Echo to turn the light on/off and it works perfect. I love the future!

Device is easy to configure and works as advertised. You can turn on/off any device from anywhere with IPhone. Device can be programmed as a timer, to light up your room as if you are home.

Bought the WEMO Light Switch and the WEMO plug at the same time. The switch was very straight forward and easy to install; this device the WEMO plug was even easier to setup and install. Both WEMO devices show up within the same iPhone App and work seamlessly without any hiccups. I have been using both devices daily for over a month. Well worth the price.

The Belkin switch is a great product to use for remote control of lamps or other home items. Plug and play with the Belkin app!

I bought this when I bought the Samsung SmartThings bundle. It works, but it's bulkier than the similar Samsung wifi outlet. The other advantage the Samsung switch has is that it can tell you how much power the attached device is consuming, whereas the Belkin device does not. I think the Samsung outlet is a few dollars more than the Belkin, so my recommendation is to go with the Samsung outlet if you plan to use the SmartThings hub. The other downside is you have to install the WeMo app in order to use it with the SmartThings app, but once installed the SmartThings app can control all WeMo devices so the WeMo app is pretty much useless (although Samsung recommends you keep it installed in case the system ever has to re-learn the devices).

Plug and play; it's that simple. The only hassle is upgrading the software. I use it to turn on some lights at home when I'm away.

This is a great way to have access to lighting from outside your home, or while you're in it without a fancy security system.

I got this with the Echo Dot so Alexa could talk to it. It was pretty easy and quick to get it set up on our home network. I used it for our Christmas tree lights this last year. I was able to talk to Alexa to turn them on or off and then I also had it set up on a timer schedule. Would like to get more in the future.

It's a very good product. It comes on when I want it to, but it doesn't turn off automatically. It's not a big deal for me because I can just use the app from anywhere to turn off my light. I'd recommend this product overall. A plus is it works with the Amazon echo.

Fairly simple to install and works great when the app doesn't crash on you or doesn't recognize the device which tends to happen very often. If Belkin focuses more on the App to work better with this product then it will deserve a higher rating but they're not there yet. Good for turning of my kids TV when they fall asleep with it on.

My only surprise is that is does not really work with a space heater, probably has more to do with the safety features of the heater. In other words when you turn on the heater it has to be done from the heater itself. Using the Amazon Echo, you can of course turn of the heater and then turn on the switch again. Manages to keep the connection quite well. not disconnecting from the Echo at all so far.

I purchased one of these after I got the amazon dot. It was awesome, so I decided to purchase more. The set up/ installation was easy and connecting it to my amazon dot, was easy. All you have to do is follow directions on the apps that correspond with each item. I am highly satisfied with this product.

This is a good switch, but bulky. Depending on what you need to plug on the other outlet at the wall, you may lose the ability because of it's size. Other than that, good remote control capability of one item (or more if connected to s strip). Good price.
