I use Siri to control these units occasionally without any issues.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can set up the Wemo Smart Mini Plug in Apple's HomeKit so you can control it with Siri voice commands. You don't need a bridge for them to work. If you set up the plug in the Wemo app, it will automatically add it to HomeKit. If you don't want to use the Wemo app, you can also set it up directly in HomeKit, by choosing the "Add Accessory" option and scanning the HomeKit setup code on the back of the plug or included with the documentation in the box.

The new switches can show up in HomeKit before they show up in the Wemo app during the install process . But then will appear in the Wemo app once it is restarted. I have a Wemo bridge and about 16 Wemo switches, two dimmers and 15 different Wemo plugs. I am also on my third Wemo bridge. It is very annoying that the Wemo devices and bridge are so flakey - they are just fine in their own Wemo app but seem to come and go in HomeKit. I had a large collection before HomeKit was made available so I didn’t want to replace. Yes I know how to use a web browser to visit the bridge - clear and reset it, as well as how to reset the plugs and switches. I wish there was real stability
