Wemo Smart Plug (Simple Setup Smart Outlet for Smart Home, Control Lights and Devices Remotely Works w/Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit)

I was about to write a bad review but my opinion changed once I called tech support. It seems as though Apple Home partnered with WEMO, which was frustrating when I tried to program it into my WEMO App. There's a different process for adding you device into th WEMO app. It should be published for sure along with the Home App instructions. Once on the App, the devices were very easy to program and the options are much more functional!

I have several Wemo products installed in my home. I purchased the Wemo Smart Plug to use with some outdoor lights. I found the Setup Guide that came was not very useful. In following the instructions for a manual setup I could not get past the last step to enter the Wemo code. My iPhone app continue to give me an error message over two days. Having installed other Wemo smart plugs and switches I finally realized I could use the method used for other plugs. This involves waiting for your iPhone to find the plug in your settings>wi-fi and selecting the plug. From there going back into the app allowed we to finish the setup. This detail was found nowhere on the instructions or the packaging. With this said I will remain a Wemo customer and continue to purchase plugs and switches as needed.

I really like the form factor of this Wemo, but it loses connectivity and becomes inactive far more often than my other Wemo devices. I have tried various locations in my house, some very close to the WiFi signal, and I'll still find the device offline. I recommend sticking with earlier models of the Wemo plug.

Unstable. I have dozens of Wemo products in my home--I was an early adopter when they first started coming out with these smart home devices. I love them so much but every few weeks they all decide to just disconnect or stop working from the Wemo app (and sometimes also in Alexa). I end up having to reset the devices to get them to reconnect to my very solid Ubiquiti wireless network, but it's time consuming and frustrating and a couple of my devices are in hard-to-reach places making it that much more of a hassle.

Unlike the Wemo Minis that I have all over the house, this one will not stay connected. Since this is the only one with an issue, I can only assume it is because it is a new model. 90% of the time I check my app or ask Google to turn on the lights, this one is offline. Stay far away from these and stick to the Wemo Minis!!

I have another WEMO plug that works like a charm with WEMO app/ECHO. However, this one is driving me crazy. I don't know if there is interference or what ... but I can't get ECHO to discover it, even when WEMO see's it .. which isn't often.

I bought this to replace a Wemo smart plug that wasn't working with the schedule I set up, this one doesn't work either. I have 2 other wemo smart plugs that work just fine but not these newer ones with the home kit.

I have 10 Wemo products in my home so I'm fairly experienced with all their quirks. I bought two of these plugs to add to my configuration. And while setup works fine if you are right on top of the access point, their WiFi connectivity is *horrible* if you're not. I have two high-quality access points (Ubiquity Alien) in my setup. I have a separate 2.4Ghz SSID for my IoT stuff; everything works great, including other Wemo devices, but not here. Within 10 feet they worked great, 20 feet it was marginal, 30 feet forget it.

Belkin and WEMO are getting worse and worse. For years I have had their products and they have worked well. However, this is the second product that I have had significant problems getting it set up over the past month. I could never get this one to pair and get it set up at all. I am done with WEMO. I will be looking for another company to provide my business to.

I've had several Wemo products that have worked fine over the last few years. Though they haven't worked flawlessly, they have served the function I needed. There have been WiFi hiccups that took some effort to overcome, but in general, they work as advertised. The two new Smart Plugs I just ordered were supposed to help me time and conveniently switch on and off my Christmas decorations. I got them and set them up without any problem. They worked fine until I upgraded my eero mesh router to a new WiFi 6 version. Then the problems started. I don't know if it was coincidental, but they stopped connecting to the network. All my older Wemo products had no problem, but the new Plugs stopped connecting. I tried everything the troubleshooting advised to no avail. I finally did a factory reset and that was the end of it. Basically bricks now. I use Apple HomeKit to coordinate my products and haven't had any problem with the old Wemo products, but now HomeKit won't recognize the Plugs. I was on tech support for most of Sunday and couldn't find a solution. They are sending me one new Plug to replace the one that went out first. We'll see how that goes.
