Wemo Light Switch

Q: Will this work in a multiple gang box. I have two switches and want to replace one of them with this. Can I do that by buying a faceplate that has rectangular switch cutouts or does this switch have a proprietary faceplate that doesn’t play wellwithothers

A: Was able to get it to fit no issue!

Q: does it require a neutral wire to install?

A: Yes it must have neutral wire in your switch box.

Q: I have 3 way switches, is there any way the WeMo light switch will work?

A: Yes it will work but you have to make sure you buy the Wemo that says 3 way switch on the side of the wemo box not the other switch that only controls one light switch.

Q: Does this switch need a ground

A: Yes. It has a ground wire. I screwed it into the back of the box.

Q: Do i need smart light bulbs for this to work or are regular LED light bulbs compatible?

A: Regular bulbs are comparable with the switch. I just have regular LED light bulbs in my ceiling fan which is connected to the switch and it works great!

Q: I have a switch in my garage that turns power on to an exterior outlet where my gutter heat tape is plugged into. I want to use this switch so I can turn the heat tape on when I am not there

A: Replace the switch with a Wemo light switch and you can turn it on with your phone from anywhere you have cell or internet service and you can set a schedule to turn it on or off based on your selected times. Or, use it like a normal light switch too.

Q: In which country it is MADE / Manufactured and assembled in?

A: Hi, Vijay. The Wemo Light Switch, WLS040 is designed in the US and assembled in China.

Q: For 3-way circuits, do you need two WeMo switches?

A: No, you do not.

Better Control for Lighting Made Easy
I have multiple WeMo Light Switches, WeMo Dimmer Switches and WeMo Smart Plugs at the time of this writing and I think I have a pretty good perspective on these WeMo products. I'm glad that WeMo updated their mobile application to require their users to have an account to manage their products. Before, you just needed their products to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It is also convenient to have WeMo linked to Google Assistant. Before, updating the firmware to the WeMo switches and smart plugs was a hassle because it was not very intuitive. You attempt to update the firmware for the products, but there is no progress bar or any notification to identify how long the firmware update will take. And the firmware update would either fail midway or the app freezes. But, it seems the WeMo app has improved. Since a WeMo switch comes with only a one gang decorator/wallplate, I had to buy some 2 gang decorator/wallplate from Home Depot for two (2) WeMo switches that are together. You can name your WeMo products, create rules and schedules, and select which WeMo product(s) you would like to use and set a time when to them turn on and off. Specifically, my WeMo smart plugs tend to be occasionally unresponsive when using Google Assistant. It is inconsistent when it responds correctly, but I think it is because my WeMo Smart plugs are placed pretty far from the router. Be mindful on the distance to your router when it comes to the WeMo products. You may need to place them close to your router or add a Wi-Fi extender to your home. Sometimes, Google Assistant may turn on the incorrect WeMo light switch. To troubleshoot, I will either use the WeMo app instead or relink my WeMo account to Google Home. That way, it’ll refresh my WeMo products in Google Home. For WeMo Smart Plugs, I disconnect them from the outlet and reconnect them and wait a few moments until connection has been established. If there is a power outage or if I lose Internet connection, WeMo is pretty good at reconnecting in a few minutes. But if it does not reconnect, you will just have to hold a small button underneath the light switch with a small tool or maybe a pen to restart the WeMo light switch. If it does not reconnect, you would need to reassign or reactivate the light switch through the WeMo app. I did have one WeMo light switch that lost power randomly after 10 months of use. I thought it was bad wiring, but when I replaced it, I have not seen any issues. I will continue to monitor it, but so far so good. I would recommend buying WeMo and I will most likely buy another one in the near future.

My home automation adventure begins
This has been the first product that I purchased for home automation. Great product. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to hook this up, but it was no problem. Just made sure to connect it to the neutral wire which I guess all modern homes have. I love that you don’t need a hub just WiFi. I am able to use it with Siri via Apple HomeKit. It’s for my front light. All I have to say is “Hey Siri turn on front light” and voila it comes on. Great replacement for the 25 year old switch that broke. I’m excited to start my home automation adventure.
