Be at home even when you’re not
Wemo is a family of products that you can use to control just about anything in your home – from anywhere. Adjust the temperature on your Crock-Pot® Smart Slow Cooker when you are running late at work, make sure the kids’ TV turns off at bedtime, and light up a dark room before you walk in. Wemo is designed to make your life a whole lot easier.
Set it, forget it, and get notifications
Don’t ever worry that you left your porch light on by setting a rule to turn off at sunrise, set alerts to let you know when your dryer cycle is done so your clothes won’t get wrinkled, and have your lights and electronics deter intruders by simulating occupancy while you are lying on a beach in Hawaii. These are just some of the things you can do with the Wemo app.
Control Wemo with Amazon Echo
Turn on and off devices connected to your Wemo Light Switch, Insight, or Switch using your voice.
Wemo works with Nest
When you connect Wemo to your Nest Learning Thermostat™, various awesome things become possible. You can set your Wemo-controlled lights* to turn off when Nest goes into “Away Mode” or turn on when you come home. And you can adjust basic Thermostat settings without leaving the Wemo app (because we know you love it here.) Just make sure you have the latest Wemo firmware before connecting.
*works with Wemo Switch, Insight, Light Switch, and Maker
Integrate Wemo with IFTTT
With IFTTT (if this then that), you can connect your home to the web for endless possibilities. Set your sprinklers to stay off when rain is in the forecast or have the lights come on when you approach your front door. You can even have the lights flash when your favorite team scores.

Reviews
Trash app
2scyJ
Don’t right reviews but the wemo app is horrible. Every time I try to set up a new smart plug it sits on the loading screen until the app crashes, I’ve tried updating the app, redownloading, and retrying it on 2 other phones. But somehow it still has the same problem. Definitely don’t recommend wemo, get wyze or a different brand that’s user friendly.
Random non detects and doesn’t follow the schedule

The outlet switches are very unreliable and always have issues. Either not turning on. Or not turning off. And they are increasingly more rare to find connected in the app. Find a better smart system. Junk.
Unstable

These are not good if you buy them to use at different times of the year (Christmas, etc…) It takes a lot of work to get them updated, current firmware update is on day 3 (100g internet), they constantly do not connect and need help. I have a few Amazon smart plugs and they just work. I’ve done nothing ever with them. Wemo plugs take an hour every single time you use them. Uggh.
AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!

So I need a Belkin account to access my own devices on my own network!?! And you “need” my location to track me!?! NO JUST NO. switching to your competition which has NONE of this garbage. Screw you & the MBA genius manager who thought this was a good idea. Zero stars.
Having Difficulty Updating
Rhino1865
Four out of 5 plugs will not update the firmware. It makes it hard to set a routine through the app! Any assistance would be great appreciated!
Waste of money

The Wemo smart plug could not connect with my wifi, despite it having an excellent signal.
Push notifications no longer work
Pineapplehoya
The product and the app used to work. A few months ago, push notifications stopped working in iOS. The rules are set up and notifications are turned on. Some switches have also stopped responding completely, though that might be a product problem and not an app problem. Would be great if this could be fixed.
Return now!! Beware
Funnions22
Like the other reviewers said it doesnt connect propperly. Its hard to setup and if you move from place to place is near impossible to connect again. Make a favor to yourself and save your time trying to figure out how to work this trashy app
Hard to understand why it’s not reliable
BrooklynWalker
I configured and plugged in all my WeMo Insight modules, and sometimes they all work fine. Then, sometimes they don’t, even after I upgraded to a “mesh” network, with mesh modules near to all my WeMo modules. Sometimes a WeMo module might be online and pingable, but the APP can’t control it. It would be great if it were more straightforward.
Very unpredictable

If have about a dozen plugs or switches purchased from Costco. Started using them about 5-5 years ago. At any given time only about half of them connect, then they may reappear in an day or so or I have to cycle power to them. Costco now offers a different brand so bought a few last year and they are dependable. Now I’m replacing all all the Wemo’s.
