Customers enjoy the 3-Way Light Switch for its ease of use, straightforward installation, and seamless compatibility with Apple HomeKit. The design is considered sleek and modern, and the app functionality is reliable. However, some customers have noted that the switch is a little bulky and requires a neutral wire, which may not be compatible with older wiring.

    I only need one a three way circuit so this pack can handle two three way circuits. They connect well with Alexa and HomeKit. The wire nuts a big so try to get some UL listed push wire nuts. They are smaller and allow the bulky switches to fit with ease.

    These are 3-way switches, but you only need to replace ONE of your old 3-way switches. The electronics figures everything out so both the old switch and the WEMO still work together as normal 3 way switches do. Can also use this to replace an old single pole switch. Only downside is they take up ALOT of room in the switch box. I had a 4-gang box with 3 WEMOs and an electronic timer switch in it. Couldn't get the switches flush to the wall so I had to buy a 3/4" surface box extension to give it more volume. Sticks out from wall but we don't notice it since it's by the front door. These work well with Alexa. It allows us to "tell" Alexa to turn out the lights when our dogs wander into our bedroom for the night. We can also turn our lights on/off with our phones when we're not home with the WEMO app. Or with the Alexa app too.

    I waited a long time for them to come out with the 3-way switch, now I have got all the switches in my house updated to WeMo. I have Alexa in every room, so I walk around telling lights to turn on before I get to that room or hallway. So convenient.

    Installed them in a kitchen and up stairs hallway. Great when your hands are full and setting up routines. Google and WeMo don't always respond timely, not sure which is the issue.

    I have owned WeMo plugs and switches for many years and purchased these for our new home. Setting these up is not an easy task, even for someone who is technically adept because the user interface is quirky and even when you follow the instructions to the letter, the software and UI do not always work as they should. It often takes several attempts to get these on your network and operating as they should. That said, once you have gotten them to play nicely, they work well and serve their intended purpose. Belkin really needs to work on the user interface and user experience because they are both still lacking.

    Had several Wemo smart plugs but needed a 3-way Wemo switch. Installation was relatively straightforward following the instructions and the switch has been functioning to my satisfaction.

    The best 3-way switch

    Perfect 3-way switches. They work as a 3-way or single pole. Setup was easy and WiFi controls work perfectly. You only need 1 smart switch per circuit. Everyone should have them in their home.

    A great addtion to the WeMo line.

    I have been using WeMo products since their first generation of devices. With the release of each generation, the products have gotten smaller, better looking, and offer more reliable performance. This device is no different. The 3-way light switch has been sorely missing from their line-up. INSTALLATION This is the only remotely complicated part of the entire process. I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable DIY’er. I usually take on 99% of my own home and automobile updates and repairs. I lead with this as a qualifier as I have installed numerous 3-way switches over the years and I had absolutely no issues installing these switches. If you have ever tried installing a 3-way switch from “Big Orange” using the directions printed on the leaflet where you need the Hubble telescope to read them, you will be in for a pleasant surprise with the WeMo instructions. They are super simple and in full color. The print is actually legible and WeMo walks you through nearly any scenario you may encounter when you do the install. The only difficult part you may encounter is trying to determine which wires are the line, load, and travelers in your box, if they don’t follow the common color scheme. Should you still find yourself apprehensive or a bit intimidated, installation it is nothing a licensed electrician can’t easily handle. But, if you feel you can safely perform the install, the WeMo instructions are simple and walk you through the entire process, step-by-step. EXCELLENT!! Major kudos to WeMo for their detailed directions! CONFIGURATION Initial configuration is as easy as any WeMo product. Almost identical to the WeMo products I’ve used for years. Using the WeMo app, your Android or iOS device connects to the WeMo, enter your Wi-Fi credentials and the process should go without further hiccups. Once successfully connected to your Wi-Fi network, the devices will check for firmware updates, notify you of the availability, download the update, apply the update, and restart. Smooth and simple. SOFTWARE I’ve always found the WeMo software simple and easy to use. The app has evolved a great deal over the years and has remained nearly 100% bug free for me regardless of whether I’m using the Android or iOS app. WeMo consistently updates their app, squashing bugs, most of which I never experience. As an added bonus, WeMo is one of the most compatible platforms in the business today. Their products work with Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Home Kit, IFTTT, and Nest. After the initial set-up and configuration of the devices, I rarely use the WeMo app. I have it linked to my Amazon Alexa account and use it 99% of the time. Alexa rarely has an issue with the WeMo devices, even my 1st generation devices still work flawlessly. NEGATIVES The switches are substantially larger than most existing, dumb 3-way switches. You may have trouble putting a switch into your existing electrical box if space is already tight to begin with. You cannot force the switch into the box to make it work either. One it is unsafe, two, the mounting tabs are plastic, so they will bow and potentially break if not installed correctly. Second, WeMo switches rely upon your existing 2.4GHz WiFi to communicate and function. So, if your internet or router goes out, you will lose remote functionality of the switches (they will still work manually). While this is true with most smart devices, others like Z-Wave and Zigbee can still function without WiFi as they use a separate protocol for communication. Lastly, this is not a necessarily a negative, but should be mentioned. These switches do require a neutral wire to function properly. CONCLUSION The 3-way switch is a much-needed addition to the WeMo line. Not only is it a great option for a 3-way switch, it can be converted to a single pole switch by merely capping one of the wires. Awesome!! WeMo has almost everything you need to fully automate your home: single pole switches, outlets, dimmers, and now a 3-way switch. While there are other competing technologies available, Z-wave, Zigbee, etc. (I own several of each), I always seem to come back to the WeMo line. Their products work natively off your existing Wi-Fi network, without the need for an additional hub or controller. They offer a ton of compatibility with 3rd party applications like Home Kit, Google, and Amazon. Most importantly, I find the WeMo products and app the easiest to learn and most user friendly of the smart home switches and outlets. This is especially helpful for those that may be more technically challenged. I have no problem giving this product a full 5 stars. Excellent!!

    This version of Wemo switch is better than the predecessor. Was able to set up right of the box by following instructions provided. Once setup apply the firmware upgrade, and works like a charm.
