I would recommend this to a friendDoesn't work with older home wiring
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had to return due to our home being older and not having the correct wiring to install. The only product that we could install with two wires is the "Lutron" so we exchanged for those.

WEMO WEMO!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love WEMO products. I have never had any issues with all my WEMOS!
I would recommend this to a friendUnreliable due to updating
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I give it 3 stars, 60%, because that’s about how often it responds. It seems to spend most of its time updating so it doesn’t respond. When it isn’t it works fine.

I would recommend this to a friendWorks OK but lack of 5Ghz is a nuisance
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I set up would be much easier if they support 5 GHz, it is a real pain in the neck if you have a message system that uses both simultaneously. They need to upgrade this device 2.4 GHz support only is ridiculous

App Wont discover Wemo Devices
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had a wemo dimmer switch for almost a year. Worked great till about the time the app was updated for IOS 13. I haven't been able to get it to be discovered. I have bought this switch about 3 wks ago. Same issue. Been in contact several times with support. They haven't been able to resolve the issue yet. The last I've heard they was filling out a detailed report and sending it to their eng. Mean while im still waiting for them to contact me again. I dont recommend this for anyone.

Works great

Very poor in my opinion
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked the option to use with Apple home. I purchased 3 separate switches and could not get them to connect to my home WiFi. I’ve been installing electrical devices in houses for many years, I just think either the app has issues or the switches were defective. I returned this product and purchased the TP-link switches. With some added steps you can have Siri turn them on and off for you. I’d recommend the TP-link brand product over these any day.

Posted .Hi, Collin,
We regret to hear that you already returned that device as we could’ve had our Escalation Engineers check the possible reasons of the challenge. However, we respect your decision, but do feel free to tap us anytime at [email protected] should you decide to use a Wemo device again. The Team would be glad to give you a hand.

Beware
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beware! Wemo = BELKIN = Linksys. Their support is a disaster. The app has not been functional on my phone for months and they have no fix or explanation.

Wemo light switch
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing will not connect to my WiFi. I have a bunch of other Wemo and they are hit and miss also.

Posted .Hi, Macman,
The Wemo WiFi Smart Light Switch only supports the 2.4GHz 802.11n band. You can try to use a different mobile device to set up the light switch and make sure that the location of the switch receives a strong WiFi signal.

It needs some work
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchase several of this because it was easy to work with HomeKit built they constantly disconnect without reason fail to work properly, love the idea but still need some work, hopefully this is something that a firmware update will fix cause i expend some money on those switches
