    Beware - Inconsistent Wemo Quality Control

    One out of three of these Wemo Thread-enable plugs which I bought from Best Buy would not work with HomeKit. Got an error during installation saying "The accessory cannot be used with HomeKit". Factory-resetting the plug did not fix the issue. I just returned the defective unit to Best Buy.

    Use this plug to control my outdoor steplights. WeMo with Apple Home. However, my only disappointment is you can’t use it with WeMo App. Highly recommend.

    I have been using WeMo products from last year. In general they are very stable and reliable. This one is no exception. I use it to turn on/off standing light on my bedroom. It works flawlessly and with thread its very responsive and also it wont connect to the WIFI, hence consume very low power.

      Hi,

      We recognize how you feel. By design, the Wemo Smart Plug with Thread is only a Home App device. Because this is not a WiFi-based device, it will not work with the Wemo App.

      If you require assistance, please contact our hotline here: https://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=55022

    Wish this worked with the Wemo app. I have 3 dimmer switches that work with the Wemo app. I use the away mode directly from the app because it does random on and off to make it unpredictable. Gives off a better impression of someone being home. This one is only accessible throw Apple Home and it only has fixed timing schedules. Otherwise it does what its supposed to do.

    We use Wemo's to turn on and off our night light to come on at dusk and off at dawn. We also use it for our fan in the exercise room, and, at Christmas, our tree lights. Easy to program and small and unobtrusive.

    Totally my fault for not reading that its only usable on Apple Home Kit, but when did this happen? I have a 3 pack i use around the house that works with Google. Why would they choose to move to the least popular smart home environment ? I guess i will have to return this and swap it out for TP Link?

    I have been using smart home plugs for awhile and I can say this one is probably the best. The biggest issues with other smart plugs is the set up as well as the difficulty to manage when power goes out. This plug is easy to move around and keep connected to your smart home.

    I haven't been able to get the two plugs I purchased to work. Additional the instructions enclosed were not helpful.I've tried both the Wemo app and the Apple Home app. I have two other Wemos that I purchased several years ago that I installed without too much trouble. It seems that the other two I installed asked for my wifi ID, but that is not mentioned in the instructions for these I just purchased. I'm going to take them back.

      Hi, Barbara,


      Our apology for the inconvenience that this has caused you. Prior setting up the plugs, you will need a home hub (required for remote access and automations), a HomeKit-compatible Wemo, a WiFi with internet access, and a Home app-compatible device such as an iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch or a macOS computer. Please also try restting the plugs by pressing and holding the power button down for 5 seconds. Continue to hold the power button down until the status light begins to blink white. Once the Wemo WSP100 is successfully factory restored, you may now add the device to the Apple Home app.

      Update us on how it goes by sending us an email at [email protected] with the following information so that our email team can assist you further with this.
      • Serial number of the Wemo WSP100
      • Model and OS version of your Home hub
      • Model and OS version of your phone
      • Your personal information
      • Link to this post for reference

    I was looking for a smart plug that would work with Apple Home and reviews said this was a really good option. I cannot give it 5 stars because I still find it a bit challenging to program. But it is still better than plugging in a lamp (or interior Christmas lights) to old-fashioned timers.

    The new wemo plugs are no longer wemo app controlled and that is absolutely absurd! Horrible idea wemo! Trying to get in touch with customer service to find a solution for the constant pairing issues to apple home kit is absolutely terrible! 4 hours of hold music and never got to speak to someone. New Wemo plugs constantly drop connection to apple home kit. Worked maybe twice via homekit. I gave up trying to pair and re-pair. Definitely will not buy again. Waste of money!

    Not a fan of using Homekit sans Wemo app

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have almost 20 of these devices with all generations online. The switch to “Thread” was done badly. Instructions were poorly done. Took me hours to figure out that the Wemo app is being obsoleted for newer devices. I have numerous Wemo app rules in place. New Smart Plugs can’t be added to Wemo app. Only to HomeKit. HomeKit is functionally sub-par. I don’t know that I would buy another Wemo SmartPlug.
