Great HomeKit Plug

I was searching for a HomeKit compatible plug to transition from using Amazon Alexa plugs, and I had decided to buy this plug. So far, it works with HomeKit and my Apple devices very easily. I was able to use the Home app on my phone to set it up without using any third-party apps, which I was trying to avoid. Switching it on/off happens quickly, even though I don't have any Thread border routers. Overall a great plug.

Very easy setup with HomeKit and established a thread network. Setup an automation with an Ecobee sensor that works well.

Hi Punky,
The behavior of the plug is quiet unusual. Make sure that it runs the latest firmware and gets optimal signal from the network for further isolation. For further diagnosis on the challenges that you have, please call our phone support team through the hotline numbers listed in this link: https://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=55022.

Fails to work about one out of ten times even though the hub and smart plug are less than twenty feet apart and in the same room. When that happens, it needs to be manually reset, which solves the problem, but defeats the whole purpose of a smart plug. Very frustrating.

Wemo and Google are about to drive me insane.
Google home keeps dropping these plugs, not to mention, getting them to work with Google home via smart things was a pain.
Avoid Wemo if you got google home.

These were difficult to set up through HomeKit out of the box. After a series of resets, they finally connected after a few minutes. I purchased two of these after having an older, larger WeMo plug that works flawlessly. The WeMo minis constantly fail, show up as "not responding," fail to trigger upon automation, turn on and fail to turn off, etc. Save your time and hassle, and use a different product. After battling with these for over a year, I am currently replacing them with a different brand, as I am sick of the headaches.

These things are the best, I have one for every lamp in the house! Even bought the dimmer ones for my living room. Works gray with Apple, I just tell Siri to turn on a room and it does it automatically. I can go onto Wemo app too while I’m out of the vicinity and click on rooms for security purposes.

Love this! I bought this and was not sure it would work with my apple home kit. It works great! It is a true plug and play device. Installed and quickly added to my network. I use it on my perculator. Enjoy great coffee in the morning, auto on and shutoff

Works exactly as promised once I got it set up. It didn't find the connection automatically but I was able to do so manually and I like using it and will probably buy more down the road as needed.
