Answer This Question

Hi, Julie. As long as the AC unit does not exceed the power rating of the Wemo Insight Switch, it should work just fine without any issues.

By|Feb 14, 2019

    If your AC unit does not exceed the rating of the switch, I don't see why not. Marketin brochures specifically mentions that "the Wemo Insight works with even the most demanding appliances. Use it with window and wall AC units, space heaters, fans, and a wide variety of other high power gadgets and appliances." I use mine for a diesel block heater. The Insight sends me usage and load statistics weekly via email. The heater draws 1200w - or 10 amps - with no problems for the last 3 years.

      WEMO devices, like the WEMO Insight, will work with the 2.4 GHz only. They do not support the 5 GHz frequency.

        Hello. Our Wemo devices only support the 2.4 GHz frequency band.

          Answer This Question

          For as long as it does not exceed the Wemo Insight's maximum temperature which is 40°C/104°F, then it should be fine, Frankie. Also, there's no need to reset the device when it gets disconnected; just make sure that it's placed on an area where it'll still get at least 1-2 signal bars from the router.

            Can I control this on my NEST app or do I have to use the wemo app?

            Yes, your Wemo-controlled lights can be turned off and on using the NEST app.

            By|May 5, 2023

              Hello, vbc. Our Wemo devices can only be controlled through the Wemo app. You can't control it with the NEST app.

                What temp range will it operate at. Hot and cold? will it survive in an attic environment ( not using on attic fan)

                Answer This Question

                Hi, Curious. Based on the ambient air temperature for the location the Wemo Insight Switch is at, it could have a minimum operating temperature of -10 °C / 14 °F and a maximum of 40 °C / 104 °F. It will survive in an attic environment for as long as it won't exceed its Operating Temperature.

                    Answer This Question

                    Howdy jts, This question of whether this will fit depends on what the "recessed outlet" looks like. Is it aftermarket custom or improperly installed? The easiest way to know is to try it and if it doesn't work, you can return the product for a full refund. Happy plugging, Coach Dave

                    My WeMo Insight melted
                    Works fine until it decided to melt and creates a fire hazard. Called customer support and they replaced my Insight with a Mini plug instead. A downgrade IMO. Apparently they don't make this product anymore. I suggest you toss yours out before it burns your house down.

                        Wonderful use and features.
                        I ordered my insight switch in September of 2014 and I have loved it without any issues, ever. It works with Alexa and I currently run my large air filter on it and love to see what it draws and costs/month average...very neat. Just ordered two more to monitor my Christmas lights.

                          Works Great!!
                          I bought two of this recently with other switches and wemo plugs and works great! Easy install with clear instructions and youtube video help. Best part is it works with google assistant. Only thing I dont like the click sound and frequent firmware update and resetup after wifi reset. Other than this is one of the best smart products in the market.

                            Right out of the package it was plugged into an outlet, indicated it was powered up and never transmitted a detectable WiFi signal at all!

                              worked for a week.
                              I have two of the insight switches and they worked as I wanted them to. Yesterday I disabled the rules for both of the switches and moved one to a different outlet (the picture). It won't turn on manually or via the app. It is as dead as it comes. I thought at least it would last a few more weeks. I don't want to buy it again as well as deal with your expensive customer services for this unit. I didn't find any information on what could be wrong. I tried the reset, but neither the wifi icon or anything works. I could use some guidance on this puppy.

                                Product works.
                                Very simple to setup, works well, tracking power consumption is nice to see, this product will work with an existing wifi network no additional products needed, and setting on/off rules is easy. Most likley this product will have to ordered on-line have yet to see the product on store shelves. The price is a little high especially if you are going to buy several of them could easily spend a few hundred dollars. The product can only have one on/off rule in effect at a time.

                                Works with Alexa
                                I was given this as a gift and I'm so pleased with it! I hooked it up to the Amazon Alexa and it's so convenient and easy to use. The reason I gave it 4 stars is bc I've been trying to set it back up to Alexa from a different location and it's not letting me.

                                  Doesn’t work. Don’t buy.
                                  My product does not work. AT ALL. I reached out to Belkin to aid in remedying the problem and no response via twitter. I am going to return but I am thoroughly disappointed.
