Update 4/6/2017:
Finally got around to getting that third switch in! Still loving my WeMos. Forget IFTTT. WeMo has so many programming options I do not bother with unreliable IFTTT anymore. Still no issues and I've updated the firmware for the third time. Even my husband loves that we can turn off all the lights without getting out of the warm bed. Planning what switch to change out Next!
Update 2/23/2017:
I finally got IFTTT connected. Turns out there is no Wemo app for the iPad. I used the iPhone app on my iPad and even though it seemed to work, it would not connect my Wemo devices to IFTTT. Once I switched to the app on my iPhone, I was able to connect to IFTTT. I've also installed two more light switches. No longer do the garage lights get left on all night! Upping to 5 stars!
I have had no issues with the switches and I've updated the firmware twice now with no issues. So far the only down side I've seen is the size of the switch itself. I have two switches for the garage lights installed in a 3 ganger. I would love to replace that last light switch with a Wemo but I have no idea where I'd put the wires. As it is I crammed the wires and caps behind the old switch just to get these two into the box.
I bought and installed this with little electrical knowledge. The hardest part was getting all the wires back into the electrical box and getting the switch to lay flat. I installed it in the bedroom to control the overhead fan and light. The set up was easy and it works well with Alexa. I am having a hard time writing an IFTTT recipe. I keep ending up in this endless loop when I connect the wemo device to the channel. For this I took off one star. I've never had a problem writing recipes before and I use it to set an entire house schedule.
With that said I just want to clarify that the switch cannot control the light and fan separately. It's either on or off. I have a separate remote control that I use to control them separately. It's a little complicated and will take some adjusting to but it works. I mainly wanted it so that my bedroom lights and fan were on a schedule guaranteeing that the would not get left on during the day. I can also turn off my bedroom off all at once with one voice command (nice when you start to fall asleep and don't want to get out of a nice warm bed!). I plan on buying more of these for those other lights that tend to get left on all the time light the garage lights.

Easy to Install & Connect but App is the Trouble Maker.
What I needed was a switch that would let me activate my island light - which had only one switch that was located in an inconvenient place.I was hoping the WeMo light switch would allow me to turn on the lights from multiple locations since we ended up using our island lights more than any other light.I read some of the reviews on here & was hesitant NOT about the Wifi Connection setup but about my first time wiring an electrical switch.But WeMo made it a breeze & being in a newerall home, the wires needed including the white neutral was as it was described in the WeMo install video.WeMo even labeled them clearly & the wire nuts were nice to have been included even if they were a bit small.My install took about 30 mins just because I was extra careful working textbook style & being the first time and all for electrical work.Now as for the network connection setup: it went smoothly & followed the video as described.I got connected to my ASUS R68U ac router right away via the Android App + manually selecting my network.My Echo found the WeMo switch right away on its connected home setup.And everything was working perfectly.Even if you got knocked off your network, you can still use the switch like a normal decora type switch.Which leads me to the bad part: what got me in trouble was that the Android App told me a firmware was neededSo I proceeded to update the switch's firmware.This locked up the app & knocked the switch off line.The App just hung.I had to uninstall the app since it wouldn't allow me back in even after closing & rebooting the phone.I had to reset & reboot using the 2 buttons at the switch itself.Then I had to reinstall the app, redo the entire setup & new connection again to both my network & Echo & phone.So all in all, the app is the trouble maker. It isn't smooth nor helpful.As of right now: it is a good remote light scheduler & remote light switcher but an awful updater.To this moment I still don't know if my firmware on the switch is updated & it leaves me with an uneasy feeling that my security is exposed somehow.Belkin made a nice network switch that was easy to install & setup but the execution of its app is why I dock it 1 star.*UPDATE1 (09.22.15) : My review to add that the included face plate - while it looks great - doesn't attach to the WeMo switch. I had to buy a 2 piece Lutron hidden screw plate @ Lowes to mimic the look (see pics of these faceplates)**UPDATE2 (09.27.15): Confirm that switching router's channel seem to smooth the WeMo's reset & broadcast protocols making setting up & signal retention more consistent. See here for a similar confirmation in the last post:[...]***UPDATE3(10.03.15).: Installed my 2nd WeMo switch shortly after my first one above & the App asked me update the firmware for the switches.I noticed this go around the firmware installed as advertised. It appears the router channel adjustment in update2 made instantaneous improvements for WeMo to adapt to my network & now it turns on the light switch consistently as expected!.I noticed this go around the firmware installed as advertised. It appears the router channel adjustment in update2 made instantaneous improvements for WeMo to adapt to my network & now it turns on the light switch consistently as expected!.Everything is working as is advertised now & adding back 1 star. It will be based on Belkin continuously improving this switch & its app that will make its stars go up!****UPDATE4(06.06.16).: Installed my 3rd WeMo WALL switch along with 3 plug switches & the app has gotten really good @ the plug & play setup procedure. Only problem I have is the app doesn't recognize turning off the light using ON = Sunset + OFF=exact time scenario. But I am sure they will resolve it in the app after they see my feedback.As I stated before, when Belkin updates the App & firmware consistently, this is a very good toe in the water to home automation esp. with Echo voice command.

Setting this up properly does require some networking knowledge and how to properly implement security. The switches both work on hidden and broadcasted SSID Wifi networks. Half of my switches work on the hidden SSID and the other half are connected to the broadcasted SSID. They do support security password keys, but if you want an extra layer of protection, turn on your router/basestation's MAC address control to enable only recognized and authorized devices access to your wireless network.
I have assigned static IP address to these switches by way of their MAC addresses, to avoid IP conflict when power cycling happens to my router. This is the general rule for all of my stay-at-home devices.
Update 2017
My eleventh switch will be arriving tomorrow. The first switch I bought in 2013 is still working to this day. All switches are still working reliably.
Works perfectly with NEST thermostat, Amazon Echo and IFTTT.
Update Dec 2017
1. The WEMO App first lets you name each switch and then allows you to set up "Rules" for unattended on/off times to a switch or a group of switches. So that a switch or a group of switches will turn on/off at a scheduled time.
2. The Amazon Alexa App allows you to first create intelligent named "Groups" of switches, such as "Exterior Lights", "Interior Lights", "Living Room Lights", so you can use voice control to address them in a meaningful way. "Alexa, turn off Living Room Lights" or "Alexa, turn off All Lights."
3. IFTTT will integrate all the functionality of your smart devices with WEMO and ALEXA (NEST and others too). i.e. The GPS in a smart phone can be used to create an invisible fence that can turn WEMO switches on/off as you pass in/out of its perimeter. My living room lights and exterior lights come on when I'm about half a mile from home. NEST can also sense I'm coming home and start cooling/heating the house. The are thousands of "recipes" ready to use.
With these three Apps together, there are thousands of possibilities to automate your home if you are willing to experiment. These are just some of the ways I use mine.
Update March 2018
1. Recently purchased the Wemo Mini Smart Plug to make the uplights in the kitchen cabinets smart. Set up was easy but I first had to add the switch's MAC address to my basestation before connecting to one of my home's SSIDs.
2. That makes twelve switches and all are active and functioning as you can see.
3. The Wemo App is very laggy, but luckily with voice activation, I rarely launch the app except to take screenshots. I use Alexa's voice recognition instead. The Mac version of the app needs to support higher resolution displays like the Android one does.
Bought one and like it so much I kept buying more.

This light switch and the other outlet style plug has worked reliably for over 3 years. There would be occasional hiccups like power interruptions that cause the switches to restart, but they have never failed on me. However, you are at the mercy of your internet connection and if you happen to be away while the network crashes, you won't be able to communicate with the switches. The daily programs will continue to work regardless.Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2016
