Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Pros mentioned:Amazon alexa, App, Set upThe Good: Let’s start off with the good stuff first. Physically, this smart plug is a good size. It’s not overly big. The manual button on the front is large and easy to press. I’ve never had a failure using the physical button. It has worked every time and is an instantaneous power on. There is a white LED light that turns on when the outlet is on, so there is a visual indicator that you can see from across the room. It is pretty plain though. The outlet is a very standard rectangular shape with rounded edges. Nothing wrong with the design, but knowing that it could be out in the open in your home, it just doesn’t scream smart outlet. If you are going for a minimalist approach this outlet will be more up your alley. This plug does work with pretty much every smart home hub that you may come across. It will work with Google Home, which is what I use it with, Apple Home Kit, Alexa, and will even pair with your Nest home system. It isn’t made for very heavy voltage pull from appliances like refrigerators or heaters, but will work with just about any small appliance or lamp that you have. It’s very versatile. If you only use the Wemo app, there are schedules you can set for each device to turn on and off at certain times. You can even have it on a timer so once it turns on it will turn itself off. There is also an away mode that will randomly turn your lights on and off to mimic you being home. Using the plug once it is set up is very easy and I haven’t had any issues using it via the Google Home app or through the Samsung Smartthings app. The stock app is laid out OK. You don’t have to create an account to get the plug connected to the WIFI either and that is actually nice. Most smart home devices make you create an account. Now for the bad. I’ll start with the app, since if you plan to move this plug around you will be using it a lot. Every time that you unplug it or if you happen to lose power, it loses its settings and you have to pair it to the app and connect it to the WIFI again. Unless you go into the app and have the plug save the settings for your WIFI. It doesn't save it by default! The main background is pretty plain and the icons are fairly small. It does make using them a little harder if you have larger hands since you have to be more precise with your touch. You can check the screen shots above to see what I mean. Other than that it is fairly straight forward to use. I didn’t have a whole lot of difficulty setting up the plug. The other issue is the width of the plug itself. If you are using it on a normal two plug outlet, it really won’t be too much of an issue. If you are planning on using it in a 4 plug outlet, you will block one outlet with this plug. It is also somewhat thick. It will come out about 1 ½” from the wall not counting the plug and cable that you are plugging into it. When finding a place for this plug, have it in an open area or make sure you have at least 6” from the wall. If I was grading this smart outlet, I would give it overall a B. Getting it set up was OK, but it was a bit of a hassle. The fact that it loses the settings by default is kind of a nagging factor, but if change the setting in the app, it will help a lot. I would have liked the app or the outlet itself to save the settings automatically once it was set up and not have to go into the app settings to save it. It almost feels like that was an afterthought and this was just a quick fix. Design wise, I would have liked to see a little more. Possibly a led light showing the WIFI being connected would be a nice touch. The light blinks during setup and then goes off when it connects, so you have to trust the app. It is not a bad smart plug by any means. Once its set up it works well and I haven’t had any issues other than when I moved it around and had to connect it again. If you are just getting into the smart home stuff, or just want a quick addition to what you already have, this is a good option. The price is pretty much in the mid-range of what most of the smart plugs are. Overall, I would say this outlet is worth giving it a try.

Posted .Hi cmartin45,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Wemo Mini Switch. It is odd that the Wemo device does not automatically reconnect if it loses power. If there are no changes to your network, it should reconnect immediately.
If you continue to experience this behavior, get in touch with us at WemoCares@belkin.com so that we can help you troubleshoot this further. Don't forget to include your contact details and the link to this post as a reference.
We hope to hear from you soon.

Great Product.
Great Product.
|Posted .Great for home automation. To me, these work better with Apple’s HomeKit. Homekit’s response time from command to action is close to mimicking a manually switch flip by hand. One problem, I reset my WiFi and had a problem getting it to reconnect through its automated process after I factory reset it.

Works. Every. Time.
Works. Every. Time.
|Posted .Pros mentioned:Amazon alexa, App, Set upI am an early adopter & have used various home automation devices over decades. I ditched X10, X10 Pro & Z-Wave, searching for reliable equipment that could offer easy control from a smart-phone with Amazon Echo & Google Home Control. Apple Siri Control would be a bonus. The first Homekit approved devices were extremely disappointing & were unreliable. They had to be unplugged & rebooted about 1ce / week. Meanwhile, WEMO has become a strong supplier of Home Automation gear. WEMO has built a reputation for dependability, so I tried 1 WEMO Mini WiFi Smart Plug. It was very easy to set-up & 3 months later, I added 15 more. WEMO wireless switches work 100% of the time. They respond to Amazon Echo & to Google Home. With the upcoming Apple (Siri) adaptor that WEMO is releasing, WEMO will respond to Siri, as well. When you command On or Off state, you get instant notification on your phone App. The timers in the WEMO App work just as consistently as the switch. Next, I need 4) weather resistant switches for landscape lighting, subject to rain / snow / freezing / 110 degree weather. And Wi-Fi is naturally weaker through the concrete / brick house exterior, where they will be located. At this time, WEMO does not offer such a switch. I wish they did! So I have 2) choices: 1- Buy a plastic enclosure, insert a WEMO switch, and pull inlet and exit wiring through weatherproof connectors. Basically, make it weather resistant. Or: 2- Buy an unproven brand that offers a weather resistant product. I am still weighing options for a weather resistant smart switch with WEMO reliability. Conclusion: WEMO Mini WiFi Smart Plug is a 100% reliable product & has earned my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! I hope they add an outdoor version, but for now, WEMO is the BEST of the BEST indoor smart switch!

Q: QuestionHow good is the security on these Wemos? I assume if works with an app alone on my phone that it does not interact with my network? Also appears can use without a hub or other device or interface? Now just need one for 3 way switches.
Asked by LoranC
- A:Answer I never had an issue with security, and I have 2 wemo minis. Wemo in general work off your home network. However, the app is on your phone. If your home network goes down, the product wont work. The app will show you that the product is offline. Wemo does not currently have anything for 3 way light switches.

Q: QuestionCan I buy three of them for separate rooms and controll them on only one wemo app at the same time
Asked by Lizzy2
- A:Answer You may use one app to control each switch individually. You can also combine them into special groups (you create the group) of two or more switches to control groups using the same app. I do not endorse the one aspect of the app called the away rule. I found it to be probkematic, unstabke, anS undependable.
Answered by Huntsman
Q: QuestionWhat does it mean by Wi-Fi is it only for wireless use from whatever is plugged into it in the app or will it turn my non Smart TV into a smart TV with the Wi-Fi just wondering
Asked by Justcurious
- A:Answer The WiFi is only to control the power on/off of the plug, so it won't turn your TV smart, but it will switch the power on/off via WiFi through a phone app or Alexa.
Answered by cegb
Q: QuestionCan this device be kept of the internet w/o out setting a router to block? Does the app need internet for local control? What I want to know is can it be used just phone to switch or phone to router to switch vs. phone to cloud to switch?
Asked by WAVYware
- A:Answer I don't think you can keep it off the internet, one of the first things to setup is connecting to the Wi-Fi. The app also must be connected to the Wi-Fi.
Answered by Anonymous
Q: QuestionDo these monitor your electricity usage in the app? I would like to see how much electricity is used in different parts of my home(by certain electronics).
Asked by Brandi
- A:Answer If it does, I have not been able to locate that feature in the app.

Q: QuestionWHY DO YOUR SERVERS KEEP GOING DOWN. THE WEMO MINI SMART PLUG IS USELESS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE CALLED SUPPORT TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT. I AM PROVIDING A SCREENSHOT OF THE APP WHEN THIS OCCURS.
Asked by Jhop5322
- A:Answer I had the same problem initially. I just called my internet support and asked them to "change channels". It's not a WEMO problem, it really is more likely, your internet.

Q: Questioncan lights be dimmed using a Wemo plug and app?
Asked by flyboy
- A:Answer Hi I use it for my air conditioner to turn it on and off - I think you need to look into the Philips hue system where you can make the lights into softer colors or brighter ones depending on ur preference
Answered by Techie
Q: QuestionDo you need a hub for Alexa to control this plug or will it work directly with Echo Just by itself and nothing else?
Asked by Trish
- A:Answer It works directly with Alexa and or an app on your phone. We use Alexa in the home and the phone app when we coming home in the night. When we get to the drive, we turn on the lights with the phone app so we don't have to enter a dark house. You can do this with the phone app, no mater where you are. We've done this from over 200 miles away just to see it works. It does.
