Design doesn't block the second AC outlet in a duplex
Switches loads up to 1800 W
Support for Android and iOS mobile platforms

No Windows or MacOS desktop applications

After a frustrating setup experience, I was ready to return the WeMo Insight to Staples. After uninstalling the apps from all platforms, rebooting my router and reinstalling the apps, the setup experience was better. Though my Nexus 7 didn't notify me of...
