If you only want to shut the power off and on to all of these devices at the same time then yes. If you want to control the functions of those devices then no.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sure, just don't exceed the 15A current rating of the smart plug.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.From my experience, if the Wemo is plugged into the wall outlet and you plug an extension cord into the Wemo plug, Alexa, or whatever smart speaker you have, will turn on the entire cord. You can however, plug a power strip directly into the wall outlet and then put multiple Wemo plugs on the power strip and name each one accordingly to each device. Just make sure your power strip has a surge protector and is in a place where your WiFi signal is strong enough. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, but not individually. Alexa will simply serve as an on/off switch so she will turn everything plugged into the plug on or off. Also, something else to think about is these plugs work best with electronics that would work if you simply plugged it in, i.e. fan, lamp, etc. They don't usually work well with TVS If you are trying to turn them on with Alexa because even if Alexa turns the switch on you will most likely have to turn the TV on separately.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Alexa will be able to control the Wemo on and off. All devices connected to the extension cord will turn on and off at the same time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. I tried this with multiple lighting fixtures. The plug is on/off, and the use of the extension cord doesn't affect the connection to your home WiFi network. The WeMo smart plug uses the WeMo Bridge, which (I believe) in turn connects to a digital assistant like Amazon Alexa.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It can control power to all of those but it will only turn on the power supply to them. It won’t necessarily turn on the device and there are limits to how much you can run on one plug.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. The Wemo smart outlet controls electricity to whatever is plugged into it, so when it turns off, everything plugged in turns off and vice versa.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I dont think so becuase you have to name all of them so she know what to turn off or on etc... And on the the app u can only gibe it one name so no
