The editors liked

  • Design doesn't block the second AC outlet in a duplex
  • Switches loads up to 1800 W
  • Support for Android and iOS mobile platforms
  • Integrates with IFTT (If This Then That)
  • Button on top of unit can turn on/off load without using a mobile device
  • Scheduled
  • A smaller plastic housing and new power usage tracking on Belkin's WeMo Insight Switch bring greater visual appeal and usefulness to Belkin's already winning entry-level smart-home power plug line
  • Easy to set up. Supports IfTTT. Compact size. Tracks power usage and costs.

The editors didn't like

  • Android Application poorly designed and barely functions
  • Events created on Android platform don't trigger the device
  • Events created one one device don't sync to other configured devices
  • No dimming capabilities
  • No Windows or MacOS desktop applications
  • Setup remains a hassle
  • It's still large enough to block adjacent outlets
  • And reliance on IFTTT for advanced programming functions means you'll need to bounce between two different apps to get the most out of the Switch
  • No Web browser support. App is a bit erratic

  • A smaller plastic housing and new power usage tracking on Belkin's WeMo Insight Switch bring greater visual appeal and usefulness to Belkin's already winning entry-level smart-home power plug line
  • Setup remains a hassle, it's still large enough to block adjacent outlets, and reliance on IFTTT for advanced programming functions means you'll need to bounce between two different apps to get the most out of the Switch
  • Despite a few usability quirks, Belkin's WeMo Insight Switch only improves on the simple, low-risk formula that made Belkin's original programmable WeMo Switch so appealing as a home automation starting point.
