||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Brought the Wemo before going on vacation. Tested it a few days before leaving and it worked fine. While away I turned on the light in my living room using my cellphone and it worked. The next day I tried to turn on the lamp and it told me No WeMo Detected. Upon returning two weeks later I had to unplug and reinstall app for it to work. Did not work for the intended purpose.

Infuriating
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have spent hours trying to get this thing to connect. It took forever to get it to work in the Wemo app, but then it won't work in the Apple Home app. All instructions run me in circles. Now both the Wemo and Apple apps say it can't be found and I can't remove it from the Wemo app to start over.

I never could get it to connect
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this plug to use on the light nearest my front door, for times I was out of town. I have never gotten it to connect to wifi - I have tried resetting it, moving it to a socket in the room with the router. I've never been able to use it as a programmable plug, and I don't have any other use for it.

Posted .Hi, Karenteacher,
We apologized for the inconvenience. Connecting the Wemo Mini to your 2.4 GHz network band should be a breeze. This could be caused by an out dated firmware. Let's sort this out first by looking on its LED light when reconnecting. Email us the details at [email protected] along with your contact details and the link to this review as reference. We'll have our Escalation Engineers lend you a hand for resolution.

Posted .Hello, zimmie67,
While updating the firmware of the Wemo F7C063, we must make sure to stop any activity that consumes the bandwidth such as streaming and downloading. We also suggest you try positioning it closer to your router first to avoid interference. Our Escalation Engineers is so giddy to help you further with this by sending us an email at [email protected] with your contact info and the link of this review, for our reference.

Good for entry level light control
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent product, should have done more research on like items in order to get additional features we would have had preferred to have.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIt works out of the box with a lot of patience.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installation is very simple and doesn't require great know how in networking. Wemo assumes that you have the temperament to complete the process without getting prostrated. It does however require a great amount of patience to complete the whole installation, for example: 1. Knowing how to properly set-up your phone's WiFi so it doesn't jump to a different channel to connect to the internet. Your gateway provider's features may "add-on" some difficulty level. 2. Best to install units "one-at-a-time" to avoid confusion. Each unit does not respond/set-up in the same amount of time or ease. 3. Complete the Wemo installations, avoid simultaneous installations with Alexa/Google assistant/Siri. 4. Avoid updating the "factory firmware". It gave me a lot of "false status indication" in the Wemo APP. The "firmware updates" actually rendered my 4 units "useless", I mean they didn't work properly with the "Wemo APP" and became problematic with "Google assistant" and "Alexa". I ended up going back to the factory version (easier said than done). "If its not broken, why fix it?"

The Wemo Mini should work as it is expected granted that all requirements are met: connected to the 2.4 GHz as well as your handheld device; and the firmware of the Mini and your phone is up to date, as well as the Wemo app. We'd be glad if you could reach out to us at [email protected] with your contact information so we can have our Escalation Engineers to further check your case.

Stop working after 8 month
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The scheduler stopped working no matter what I do factory reset it a couple of times, set any schedule and it will not turn on, but the button will tune it on just fine. But that wasn't the reason I bought this. And don't get me started on getting it connected it's a PITA.

Good cheap option
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works pretty good. Takes awhile to connect after flipping a switch. Would recommend keeping power on

Posted .Hi Googleman,
Your product insight is of great value. Our Wemo Mini Switch should auto-connect to your home network right after turning back on. Keeping the firmware up to date and making sure that it gets an optimal connection from the router would really help to improve its performance. Should you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to drop us an email at [email protected] with your contact details and link to this post as a reference. We'd love to help!

Better options out there.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the 2nd wemo plug I purchased and I thought the 1st one was defective because it would not connect to wifi. And for over an hour I tried to get it to connect. Watched YouTube, checked the web and come to find out everyone was having the same experience. I finally gave up and returned it and went with The ihome switch.
