Doesn't Stay Connected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was pretty easy to install and connect to my wifi. However, it often lost connection, wasn't connected when I wanted to use voice commands with my Amazon Echo, and actually would cause my Echo to be non-responsive when it was trying to communicate with this switch. I tried it with one of the outlets, and it was marginally better, but not much. I'd steer clear of Wemo stuff for a while.

Posted .Hi, MarginalHulk,
This is an uncommon behavior for the Wemo Light Switch. To ensure a stable connection, make sure that the firmware of the Light Switch is up to date. You can also try to set a static channel on your wireless router to reduce interference.
If this persists, send us your contact details at [email protected] along with the link to this post.
We hope to hear from you again.

Not sure why this exists.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works great for what it does, but it draws power constantly. It basically appears to be a total waste rooted in laziness and egregious energy consumption.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat concept
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It doesn't work if you have multiple switches on the same wall plate. I still have one in the box, wasn't worth the effort.

Our Wemo F7C030 works with multi-switch rocker-style plates. However, it is not designed to work with metal faceplates. Allow us to have this reviewed with our Escalation Engineers by sending us an email at [email protected] with your contact info and the link of this review for our reference.

Very expensive light switch.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It will not stay connected to the wifi. It connects when my wife resets the router. I thought I needed a new router, but when looking at new routers, the kid at Best buy said your problem is the switch. He said I should have read the reviews before I bought the two switches. Oh well, they still work like regular light switches.

Posted .Hi David,
As long as a neutral wire is present in your electrical wirings at home and your Wi-Fi router is broadcasting a 2.4 GHz radio band, then you can get the Wemo Light Switch up and running with no issues. If you wish to give it another try in the future, feel free to email us anytime at [email protected] so we can have you assisted by one of our Escalation Engineers.

Posted .Hi, Same,
Dropping connection on your WEMO Light Switch could be caused by an outdated firmware. An updated firmware will ensure the unit’s proper functionality. Also, try unplugging your device from the power outlet, then plugging it back in.
Please email us the results at [email protected] so we can have this checked further by our Escalation Engineers. Include your contact details, location, the title and the link to this review.
We hope to hear from you soon.

Belkin won't HONOR their own warranty
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought 3 Wemo Dimmers September 2017 one of the units recently failed. Called Wemo Technical Support as the dimmer has a (3) year warranty https://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=24620). Wemo refused to honor their own warranty even after I had proof of purchase from Best Buy. Tech support said when I bought my dimmer only came with a (1) year warranty. This is not true as researched this product and waited for its first release. Check out the link to their warranty page. Very disappointing Belkin wont honor their own warranty. I don't recommend this product if you are the type of person who counts on a company to back their product if it fails. Case# 10889599 Tech Support Employee ID: 22128 (Alex G.) Thank you Wemo for leaving me out to DRY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
