Customer Reviews for WeMo Wireless Light Control Switch

The setup couldn't have been easier. Loved how easy it is to use overall and install. The feature set is fantastic as well.

Our wemo switch has a very hard time staying connected to the WiFi router that is all of 20 feet away line of sight connected. When it loses the connection it is a huge hassle to reconnect. But if you don’t it has an amber flashing warning light. Terrible design.

Satisfied and tech was great. Very patient. Walked me through very friendly.

Works great, looks great and easy to install and activate. The Wemo app is easy to use, and the integrate seamlessly with Google Home.

I have had this item for a couple of years. At first it ran flawlessly. Newer firmware has made it more and more complicated. I need something to turn on/off the light. Don't care about Alexa, Google, personal accounts etc.

The light switch is flaky. Loses configuration often. Extremely difficult to set-up, for example, when resetting the probably of its local WiFi coming on is 1 in 50. Highly recommend staying away from this one, stick with the minis.

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

It installed and worked pretty much as expected except it won't work with Google Home. Google support was one of the reasons I chose this device so this is disappointing.

I have had the mini smart plugs for years and have always worked great. I got three of the light switches to add to my system. The lightswitches have been very frustrating. They installed easily enough and hooked up without difficulty. But every couple of days they will become unavailable in the app. Sometimes they show up on my wife phone but not mine sometimes vise versa. Frequently will not work with google. When the switches become unavailable Ill reset them and re pair them with the wifi and app and again they work for a few days before becoming unavailable again. Overall just very frustrating to work with. Been a bit of a dissapointment.

Attached single pole switch to subpanel at pool in order to turn on/off pool light. Needed to cover with exterior plate in order to keep weather away from switch. Switch fit plate nicely. So far working as advertised. Very pleased.

I have had these light switches for over a year and they work great. Every now and then they lose connection but with a little work I can get them back operating.

The switch was easy to install and connect to my router and Alexa.

I've slowly added a variety of Belkin-Wemo devices to our home with great success. Smart plugs and switches have worked well from the moment they were installed. No failures or defective products. Firmware upgrades work. I always apply them at the beginning of the installation process and ok them when I'm notified of new firmware by the Home app. I prefer using HomeKit for integration and automation. Belkin makes it simple to add devices to the existing environment.

I couldn’t get it to work and I am returning it. Disappointed.

The Wemo light switch can be programmed to control lights many times per day. It can also be used to control other things then lights, I have mine control the heat in the floor tiles of my bathroom.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wanted to purchase a "cousin" to the WEMO Smart Switch and was pleasantly surprised. Transitioning from the digital DST Timer Switches, and this was as good a time as it gets. The initial operation was flawed, then an "Update" was provided via email; it made the difference!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Is stylish and works well. A proper WiFi network (e.g. mesh or roaming with multiple APs) goes a long away if in a dense area (e.g. apartment building). On a separate but related note, the Wemo app for iOS could use some improvement with its stability, cloud connectivity, firmware upgrade, and Home app connectivity.

Greetings, I purchased four (4) smart light switches to try these with Alexa. The installation and set up was a bit difficult, but we are no electrical people at all. At the end (with superb technical support) we were able to install them and paired them with Alexa!!!

I started buying the the plug in Wemo for everything I could get plugged into one. I’ve enjoyed having them set up on my phone and Amazon Alexa

Great product and easy to use. Exactly as advertised.

I purchased this and a two pack of 3-way switches on Belkin.com. They arrived sooner and I expected. Installation was super easy! I usually have to research which color wire goes where, but not this time. The instructions were very clear and easy to understand, pointing out which color wire was which. Very nice!

This is my third Belkin wireless device. Very easy installation, easy setup through the app. No need for hubs or additional hardware. I have several different wireless devices, bulbs, switches, outlets in my house. These have been by far the simplest to get up and running.

Great product, easy to use and was a snap to install.

I actually bought 4 of these switches but they have mostly been a failure. The problem is that in spite of the fact that I have really strong wifi signals around the house and have reset and reset and tried all of the recommendations from the manufacturer several times, the switches just do not want to stay hooked up to my wifi. I have even purchased wifi extenders to try to remedy the problem, but it persists. At any one time maybe one out of the four shows that it is detected by my iphone, and it isn't necessarily the same one all of the time. I've pretty much given up and just use them as manual paddle switches.

I had been looking for a switch to work with homekit, this one has worked well thus far. Looks great, I live in an older home, so there was a need to change the gang in order to account for the size of the switch, but once installed it has worked great.

While I have only had my Wemo installed for about a week now, I absolutely love it!! Ease of install was a breeze if you have just a basic knowledge of residential electrical. The app is simple to use and adding it to my echo account was simple as well. I love not having to get out of bed in the middle of the night when I get hot to turn on my ceiling fan.

Had to change out rhree times before it would work. Poor quality. Works great when you use rhe switch but iften does not work when not home and try to use app. Second day not working and out of town. Would not buy again.

These switches are great! Set up is a breeze for an average DIY person. I love that you can schedule times for them to go on or off. This feature is handy when going out of town. They also easily connect to google home so you can voice activate them. Will definitely purchase more of them!

This switch is easy to install. With many switches you can't tell if the switch is on or off when looking at the switch. When you turn This switch on, the circle on the switch lights up which indicates it is on. This is a great feature as I put this on my outside lights and can't tell if they are on or off. The software has great features that allows you to schedule your lights off and on

I had digital timers for outside lights and they always seemed to have issues with the internal clocks and issues when DST came around these timers so far are flawless
