The editors didn't like
Enable/disable remote access dance I had to do when adding a new Switch
Must have a mobile device
As there are no PC or Mac apps for the WeMo devices at this time
Expensive. App frequently crashes. iOS device support only
IFTTT automations weren't quite as reliable as we'd like
And it was a challenge to find ones that we'd actually use regularly
App navigation can be confusing
Particularly when setting up rules. Currently no way to view a timeline of past events
Allows you to switch appliances and lamps on and off using your smartphone, Works with motion and time-based rules, Supports ifTTT
Motion detection was a little sluggish, App wasn't always responsive when creating rules, Physical size can impede adjoining outlets
The Belkin WeMo Switch+Motion is a basic home automation kit comprised of a switch and a motion detector. It allows you to control the on and off state of anything you plug into it directly from your phone, via motion, and even remotely over the Internet...

Brings home automation a step closer; simple and intuitive iOS app; ability to create rules and schedule events; modular system offers room to add more rooms and appliances
Mixed results based on customer reviews and home set-ups; support could be better, particularly information on IFTTT; additional Motion senses are available without paying for the WeMo Switch; cheaper alternatives, WeMo Switch $59.95, WeMo Switch + Motion

The WeMo Switch+Motion is one of the simpler home automation kits on the market and we think it would make a great introduction to home automation for those of you who have been longing to control certain appliances and lighting from your smartphone. The...
While more costly than some options, programmable timer switches or timer plugs for instance, the WeMo system is a worthy option, thanks to its simplicity and scalability. While it may not keep the bad guys from your doors or windows, it does offer some p...

No. Unless Belkin releases updates that make it work, these things are just taking up outlets in your home, preventing you from using them as you normally would. This is like adding an extra doorknob to a door. Except it usually wont turn. Stick with the...
Installation alambiquée, Installation très pénible dans certains cas, Application mal conçue et pas stable, Manque d'explications et d'accompagnement
Une prise électrique pilotée par le smartphone et reliée au réseau domestique en WiFi, c'est dans l'absolu une bonne idée. Tout comme la coupler à un détecteur de mouvement semble sensé aussi. Sauf que dans la pratique, l'installation et l'ergonomie du Be...
Volonté de base intéressante, Contrôle depuis l'extérieur, Programmation / IFTTT, Application sympathique
Instal. horripilante / limitée à iOS, Lenteur de réaction / fiabilité, Utilité limitée dans la pratique, Prise vendue à l'unité / prix
En définitive, on retiendra les intéressantes possibilités qu'offre la WeMo Switch de Belkin mais l'on regrettera l'éprouvante phase de configuration. Par ailleurs à 49 euros la prise, il conviendra de bien réfléchir à son usage. Car contrôler son fer à...

Sicher ist das WeMo Switch + Motion mit einem UVP von 99,- Euro kein Schnäppchen. Einige von Euch werden auch sagen, dass die eigene Kaffeemaschine per Zeitschaltuhr ein- und ausgeschaltet werden kann und die haben recht. Aber mit dem Set habt ihr bedeut...
