    I love this switch. It’s great because all I have to do is tell my Alexa to turn on or off the lights and it does it automatically for me with ease.

    I love these little light switches. you can set a automatic timer to turn these guys off and on and it keeps the program even during electrical outages. they are great for the outside shed where you wish you could turn the light on before you venture outside where its all dark. Or if you want to turn on a few lights on in the house be cause its late and the house is all dark. They are easy to install and easy to program.

    Problems with connectivity

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Just FYI, I have a lot of home automation devices so I am in no way a noobie. I really like my Lutron Casetas but they are kind of overkill (expensive) for lights like porch lights that you will never dim. so I use WeMo as a more inexpensive solution. I have one of these switches that loses connection to the network a lot (flashes red). I have tried the reset buttons but to no avail. The only thing that works is cycling power, which requires turning the breaker off and back on which of course cycles power to everything connected to that circuit. My plan is to switch it with another switch to see if the problem travels with the switch but that is a lot of work so I'll probably just replace it with something else. Again only one of the ones I have does this but it is still annoying. When it is connected it does work well.

      Hi,

      You can try to check if the location of the Wemo Light Switch (WLS040) receives a strong Wi-Fi signal from the router and, you can try to update the firmware to optimize the device.

      For further assistance, please reach out to us at [email protected] with the link to this review for our reference and, we'll have our Product Experts investigate the device.

      Regards,
