Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought 2 of these plugs and both were not working as expected. I'd like to say that I am very tech savvy and use other smart home devices as well, so, this issue I am explaining in the following is not due to an end user error. Setup was straight forward, however, the app seems to have an issue as well. It reported correctly a firmware update and I started the process, however, it did never finish. After 1 hour I reset the plug and started all over. Eventually the app reported then that my firmware was up-to-date. So, the plug reset did not go back to factory status? I don't know. The plug showed up in the app and I could schedule it, all ok so far. But once I removed it from the wall outlet to plug it into its intended wall outlet, it had lost its router / internet connection. It required me to go thru the router set-up again. That feature could be reproduced any time. Apparently it doesn't store the connection after removing it from external power?I installed the second plug and with that one the app was not able to initiate the firmware update. It reported the update but it did nothing when I tried to start the upgrade. De-installing the app and re-installing did not help. Reset of the plug didn't do a thing. To me it seems that WEMO smart plugs / app are just not ready and there are bugs to be ironed out. The second smart plug never got the firmware update but I could setup the device. However, after 5 minutes it would get disconnected from my router and was blinking orange, meaning it required a new setup. Conclusion: plug #1 (with the firware upgrade) worked fine as long as I did not remove it from the wall outlet. Plug#2 had issues getting the firmware update and without it it apprently never worked at all. I have a fully updated Netgear router that never has any problems with lots of other smart home devices from other brands. I would say that WEMO needs some more time to get its stuff ready.

great product. connects with ease, always works!!!

Adding to HomeKit was a breeze. Wish it support for a 5gz network but luckily I have 5 and 2.4. Works flawlessly and quick response time with Siri or HomeKit. Also works with Alexa great. I’d prefer a bit of a smaller plug but it does the job and doesn’t block the other outlet.

My 1930’s cottage doesn’t have as many wall switches as I was used to. For example there is no switch to turn on a light when leaving the bedrooms. Now instead of relying on night lights I can just ask Alex to turn the light on. She answers ok and boom there is light. Way cool! Now we just need the flying cars...

The plug works pretty well and works seemlessly with Alexa. The only problem I’ve had with it is if the power goes out with the light on, the light doesn’t turn back on after the power returns. It’s a little pricey, as well, but other the aforementioned issue, I’ve had very little problem with it.

This smart plug in was a great tool to have around the holidays. My wife loves Halloween and Christmas so when we didn’t make it home in time she would be able to turn everything on from her phone... so when we would pull up to our home we (I) would appreciate all the hard work.

After receiving two of these mini plugs several years ago as a gift I bought two more since the device works very well. After a software update that improved the Wemo app the user friendliness was great. Then the software was updated to work with the Apple Home app so the devices work well with my iPhone.

I have a floor lamp at the corner of the room and connected to a hard to reach wall plug. Simply connect the WeMo to the wall plug and connect the floor lamp, now I don't have to get to the corner in order to turn on / off the light. The WeMo also connect to Siri, so a simply commnet and there is light.

I bought this, set it up within minutes. My Echo was able to find the switch and all is well. I have had no issues at all with it, my only gripe is the price. This will not make me want to buy several of them. How about a price bundle? Like 5 for $100? The price is the only reason for the deduction in rating.

This is a huge improvement over the previous generation. My biggest complaint was that the plug made it difficult to plug other stuff into the lower outlet. Now that they have changed to this design it is way easier to plug other stuff in and I can also pick which outlet I want to use. It is also quicker to respond on the app as well.

This was a gift for my elderly mother-in-law. With this timer we could set the lights to go on based on the time of sunset. No need to do anything when daylight savings time starts! She can also control the light by talking to her kindle. With poor eyesight, this is a big help.

I ended up purchasing 5 so far. Works great with the Webo app on my Android. Installed them to various lamps throughout the house. Took a few days vacation. Never told my roommate about them and drove him crazy turning the lights on and off from my hotel room. That alone was worth the cost. Fantastic product.

The app is very simple and feature-filled. If you're using android be sure to shut off "wifi scanning" (it is now under "location services" for some reason). After setup I was able to program the switch, set routines/schedules and share it with other devices in my household. Great overall and an easy way to start your smart home.

The smart plug is so easy to use, I don't know why I haven't owned one for years. The phone app for this device makes it quick and easy to turn on a lamp inside my house, regardless of where in the world I'm located. Alternately, I can use the app to schedule "on" and "off" times for my lamp, just like a standard timer.

It's tougher than you would think to find good HomeKit compatible Smart Plugs. It took me about an hour or so to get this recognized on my home network and iPhone, and I'm still not 100% sure what finally got it working, but it's been solid ever since.

This is the 4th smart plug I have bought 2 like this and 2 others that are store exclusive. I have had absolutely no problems with the WEMO, the others have been taken back not because they didn’t work but because the app was down more than it was working. For cost effective smart outlets WEMO is the only choice for me

Bought two several months ago programmed to turn lamps on and off. So with Christmas right around the corner thought they would work great for the tree and several other things. The tree turns on and off at a certain time each day, but if we want it on earlier we just tell Alexa and she does it for us.

Purchased wemo to integrate with Alexa to voice command my Christmas tree lights on and off. Works perfectly. Love it!

This product is basically a switch controlled by your smart phone or voice assistant (Alexa or Google Home)

We had a Christmas tree that always covered up the plug and a surge strip we would put on it to help was always difficult to reach. With this and a smart phone, it made that task of unplugging the Christmas tree a thing of the past. It was easy to setup and configure. Took less than 5 mins to setup.
