Reviews for Belkin WeMo Switch

Right out of the box, tried in my home network, my second house network, my friend's network and nada. I did all I was supposed to do except deep it in hot oil or replace all the routers the modems the cables and the security cameras in my house. And yes, the whole concept it's awesome and unique. Works well for some... Does not work for others. I am waiting for a replacement.
Wish me luck!

I never got this thing to work did what belkin told me to do, and still just sits and sits starts blinking orange right outta the box not sure what to do with this pile of junk. Its been 30 days so i assume its not worth taking back. This thing doesnt do what it says it does for me at least what a waste of money

Have got 5 WeMo Switches and a Motion Detector and have had zero problems getting them up and working.

Only issue seem to be that sometimes when I have pulled a switch from the PowerPoint it can lose its config......the Motion Detector keeps its config when moved.

Also the app doesn't let me change the name or icon of a device once setup.

Bring on the light switch and while your at it can you make them as Powerpoints so I can replace the ones I have in my wall and control them remotely....maybe even a powerboard would be cool to.

Also the scheduling is excellent but havnt yet tried IFTTT.

my wemo seems to be incontinent! When it is shut off, still a little of power is going through! So the control light of my coffee machine is still visible!!! Don't know if that is ok or not?! When wemo is off, there should be no power at all!!

Bought 2 that worked well until I updated them. Now they show up and connect when set up but after that do not show up in the app. Since the app itself won't identify I guess there will not likely be any way to get to the firmware to fix it.

I've had the Weymouth for about a month now, and I'm liking the product very well.

As an electrician and IT specialist, I can see this product going places..

I've made three firmware upgrades and already I can see great improvements in the operation and remote control of the Wemo switches.

All issues have been address so far except one. I still have issues with access from the iOS from another access point other that what the Wemo switches are connected to..

Great so far... Looking forward to the Wemo wall switches due out soon

Love my wemo’s! I purchased two more to bring my total to four. I am unsure why some folks are having the issues that they are. I can easily control my switches when I am not on my home router with no problems and set-up is fairly easy. A few times I had to start the process again but all four our great. I love having some of the switches turn on everything at once since they share the same clock. Of course, if your wi-fi is down, your switches won’t turn on. I am getting more creative with them as I go. My daughter thinks she can magically turn on the lights!

The first time I set this thing up it worked fine. Now, for some reason, I cannot get it to enable Remote Access, which renders it useless to me.
I've done a complete reinstall. No dice.

Just noticed the review which mentioned that remote access doesn't work if the router is linked to another downstream router. Why not?

Hope Belkin fixeds this problem. Do these guys debug things before they send them to marketing??

I read the reviews of this item before buying it so I expected slight difficulty in setting up this product. I'm very tech savvy so I was up to the challenge. I purchased two switches and a motion switch. After about 2 hours I had all three up and running plus created rules within the WEMO app. After about a month Belkin released a firmware update for the switches and an update on the app. At that point I was no longer able to control my switches unless I was on my home router. (Which defeats the entire sales pitch you can check if you turned things off after you left.) I then 3 weeks ago installed a new router and after 3 weeks of trying, holding down the connect button to reset the switch and the app crashing non stop I finally got one of the switches connected to my new router. I was able to control it with the app and then I unplugged it, moved it 20 feet to the living room and it no longer works on the network. (One of the set up trouble shooting suggestions was to move it closer to the router to program and then move it back.) Until Belkin can fix all the bugs, and there's a lot, with this product stay away. At this point I wish I never bought this product.
