WeMo - WiFi Smart Plug - White

There has been 3 FW updates since I purchased these plugs, 6 total. The FW update allowed the plugs to finally stay connected to my network. Before that they would not stay connected but a few hours. The issue I have had from the start is creating a rule like when a plug is turned on it will not count down to turn off. I hoping real soon WeMo comes up with a solution to fix this issue. I’m sure WeMo will but man do they take baby steps resolving there software problems. I have become more patient these day so time will tell.

The Wemo smart plug is easy to use. I give it 4 stars but it’s really a 5. I don’t like that Wemo makes you download their app even if you’re going to be using it with a Google Wifi system. Works perfectly and highly recommended. Great for Christmas tree lights as well see my picture.

They worked flawlessly with the Apple HomeKit as well as the HomePod I have the mini HomePod and smart lightbulbs if you have a smart home and you want everything to connect together soo they work together these wemo’s are the answer. I have three different types of smart lightbulbs that I am able to control all of them At the same time because of the Wemo they’re great.

Great easy to configure with HomeKit, fit with my necessities, fast and reliable

I’ve had WEMO devices before and been very happy with them. These plugs are fantastic and make home automation so easy. I even have my mom on board! These plugs are affordable, not as cumbersome as some similar products and are designed to work with Apple and HomeKit. I now have 6 and will probably get more.

We at first bought Kasa smart plugs and after working on installing for a few of hours, we discovered that it wanted 2.4 hz WiFi in order to work which I had no idea how to switch my WiFi. We returned them and bought the WeMo plugs and are a huge fan!! Installation was under 2 minutes and it was very easy to connect to google home. It’s also slightly slimmer than the Kasa and the packaging was cute and easy.

These Belkin Wemo smart plugs are a relatively fool-proof way to add some minor home automation and customization to anything that plugs into a standard outlet. Despite a couple of hiccups that I'll get into below, the Wemo plugs are easy to set up and use, and provide the really simple (yet satisfying) pleasure of home voice control. Having used some of the first generation of wifi smart plugs, I am pleasantly surprised and impressed with the new Wemo plugs in this 3-pack kit. These plugs activate quickly, and getting them registered and customized within the Wemo app is a straightforward process that takes about 5 minutes for all three plugs from start to finish. Once activated and named, it is also fairly simple to add them as a group within the Google Home app and add the group to a voice command. One hiccup I encountered happened right after this process, as once the plugs were recognized by Google home, they all became "offline" and unable to be controlled by the app. I had to go into the Wemo app and manually reset and rename them for Google Home to finally get it right. Once the plugs functioning properly, you can set up routines, with voice commands like "turn on the lights"/"turn off the lights" and add the group of plugs to the routine, specifying that they should be turned on/off at the command. It's intuitive and easy to set up for someone with an affinity for these kinds of things, but may pose a challenge if you haven't yet delved into the world of Google Home routines. Still, despite having set these up correctly, the other hiccup I've encountered is having the plugs not work with the voice commands. When I said "turn off the lights" to the Google Assistant, it said "Can't connect to Wemo right now." The Wemo app itself worked fine to turn the plugs off. It's only happened once, and I'm hoping it won't happen very often in the future. Another great feature of these plugs is the ability to turn them on and off from anywhere with an internet connection. They don't just work when you're connected to your home network. My only other comment about these Wemo plugs has to do with their size. Compared to older versions of the Wemo plugs, the new version (model # WSP080) is about half the size, fitting with a margin of about half an inch side-to-side within a standard wall outlet plate, and leaving enough room for another plug to be added above or below the Wemo. Compared to older, larger smart plugs from companies like TP-Link (which take up almost an entire outlet plate), this is an impressively compact package. In all, I'd recommend these plugs to anyone who wants to control multiple lamps or devices with a single voice command through their Google Home, Apple HomeKit, or Alexa app. I haven't yet played with scheduling within the Wemo app, but I suspect that will be a very nice feature if I ever leave the house for long periods of time. it certainly promises to be a lot more user friendly than some of the more complicated manual and digital vacation timer plugs I've used in the past.

Works very well. I love being able to control my lights from anywhere. I use it to control all my Christmas lights
