Review Summary:

Do you wish you could turn on or off your lights or appliances when you're not home. What if you forgot to leave the light on when you go away for the weekend or forgot to turn off the radio or some appliance when you rushed out. Well if you have internet access then you're in luck. Belkin makes several products to help you control your electronics and lights from anywhere or put it on a schedule. Simplest one is the WeMo switch where you for less than $40 you plug in the switch in any electric outlet and plug in your light or anything you want to control. All you have to do is download the app to your phone and once you set it up you can control it from anywhere anytime.

IT works with iphones, ipads, ipods and android phones the app is easy too use and setup is not too complicated. Simply follow a few simple instructions and you are ready to go. Not only you can turn things on and off but you can also set schedules for regular switching of lights or appliances. It is also useful for baby's or a child's room where you can turn on and humidifier or other machines without stepping into the room to wake them up. I also used it to turn on cameras I have in the house so if I leave without remembering to turn it on then I cna do so from anywhere. You can use a timer scheduling or use the sunrise sunset adjustments to turn the lights on or off. Multiple items work well together and Belkin WeMo makes it is easy to pair them and operate the switches.

Multiple electronic devices may be controlled from the WeMo App, giving you instant visibility and control over all connected devices. The WeMo App does work on multiple smartphones and tablets simultaneously. Belkin also makes a switch where you can get insight over energy and usage and they also make a wall switch if you prefer one. The WeMo is rated at 15 Amps/1800 Watts at 110 Volts U.S. works with your existing Wi-Fi router and plugs into any regular 120v wall outlet.
