These are the smallest, smartest smart plugs I have. Love how they integrate with HomeKit. We use them constantly. They’re even quicker to setup and respond to commands than previous Wemo outlets.
But - and this may be a big but depending on your level of patience - these have a high failure rate it seems. Of 6 that I bought so far, 3 have failed over the course of about 2 weeks. Contacting Wemo support was a pain, but they confirmed a known issue with this model failing after initial setup. They ultimately just told me to return them because that would be easier for me than to deal with their 2 week turn around for replacement. I’d hope there will be a firmware update or hardware revision soon to resolve the high failure rate.

Seemed to have a hard time getting it to connect ,probably user error.I have several older models that didn’t seem to hard to connect. It’s works perfectly though. Enjoy just having to tell Alexa to turn something on. Also like that they are smaller

Bought a few of these to control Christmas lights during the holiday season. They have been pretty reliable and were easy to set up and get scheduled.
They will sometimes show as unresponsive in the Home app, but it usually resolves quickly.

Smaller is better.
I have the earlier version which is significantly wider. This works the same as that one. It is easily controlled by Apple Siri and Amazon Alexa. I’m sure it would work with OK Google but I don’t use that. I use the Wemo app to set schedules to turn it on/off at set times.
I’m hopeful that it’ll adjust for Daylight Saving Time. My older model requires deleting and re-adding the schedule when it changes.

Completely unreliable with HomeKit.

I bought a 3 pack of these Belkin Wemo "Smart" plugs. They have been utterly unreliable. The majority of the time they are disconnected from the network and completely unreachable. They show up as non-responsive in HomeKit.
Due to this poor implementation, most of the time the automation actions that I have setup for the plugs fail to execute. I don't know if this is due to my having an Eero Pro 6 mesh network or not, but regardless these plugs are useless.
I have replaced them with IKEA brand smart plugs which have been running rock solid and are much more affordable! Based on the amount of time that the Wemo's are offline and the IKEA smart plugs are online, the IKEA smart plugs are about 20X more reliable!
If you are looking for smart plugs to integrate with HomeKit, steer clear of this awful product. If I was still within my return window, these would be going back to the store. I couldn't sell these worthless devices to someone else in good conscience. So it's a $50 loss and a lesson learned to pay attention to the return window period more closely.

Brand response from BelkinStaff

Hi, Tyree,
When the plug is unresponsive from the Homekit, is it working fine from the Wemo App? We’d like to take a look at this carefully. Please email us more details at [email protected] so we can help you investigate. Just include your contact information and a link to this review for easy reference.
Regards,
Rosalyn Wemo Support

Overall, it works good and it is small in size that fits very well anywhere compared to others but sometimes the plugs become inactive in the wemo app. Also, the schedule based on sunset/sunrise to turn on/off does not always work.

I like the new, more compact design. These work great and I find them to be very reliable. My only issue is that initial setup can be a little wonky where you have to attempt the setup several times for them to initially work.

Wemo Review

These are some of the best smart plugs I have purchased. They work with Apple HomeKit, get updates via the Wemo app frequently, and I’ve used them for things like the Christmas tree, lights, and even my coffee maker. Only thing that was troublesome was that they work only on 2.4ghz WiFi. My mesh system can’t tell the difference so I had to force them onto the 2.4 over the 5ghz. But not Wemos fault.

Ahh well,, Forgot to write a review so catching up.. after a year nearly of usage. To be honest just like with anything sime flaws have come up. It does drop connection every so often. The most frustrating thing about utilizing this is being forced to connect to the old band instead of dual band wireless routers. If running this on your Home network when it’s all said and done, need to connect to the lower band SSID, then switch back to the dual band for speed. It’s obnoxiously clumsy and just need to hope you don’t have to reinstall either from Wemo app or from the HomePod app -,it’s the same thing, it’s frustrating, but it works.

I like that it works with HomeKit. The size is good and easy to setup. I just wish the wifi connectivity was better. Seems to lose connection on a weekly basis.

Great product, difficult setup with homekit. Even though it comes with the homekit code it still requires some extra settings to get the device to connect. This is my third one, but first with the code. Thought it would be easier. This maybe just an iPhone issue but annoying. Had to be in airplane mode, with WiFi on, app must be closed. Connect to the plug in WiFi settings, then open Wemo app. If you follow those steps it recognizes it first time, crazy. Anyway plug works as expected and has great range. I put it in my garage to control the outside lights, no issue. I will continue to buy Wemo products just wish they could fix the setup issue. This is why I gave only 4 stars.

Works great but a few glitches

Works great unless you experience a power outage or a Apple HomeKit glitch. I’m noticing with iOS 14, adding Wemo devices tend to glitch more during the setup process—receiving an error in the Wemo app that device cannot be detected, only to see it was added to only HomeKit. The other issue I noticed was the plugs seems to have a difficult time reconnecting after a power outage. More recently, I’ve had to unplug each one for a second and then back in, after doing this, they reconnect back to my Wi-Fi with ease.
Aside from these issues, they work great. I believe most concerns can be fixed via software updates. So, Belkin/Wemo teams, if you’re listening, please resolve these glitches.

These WeMo Smart Plugs are great. They are easy to add to your home WiFi network, using the WEMO app. I utilize and Apple HomeKit for my home automation and they work seamlessly. I am also using WeMo smart switches to control ceiling fans. Total of 8 WeMo Smart switches/plugs. Look for sales and buy up!

I bought many smart plugs but none of them worked with Apple Homekit. Finally, I found one that worked. The wemo plug is a great product that was easy to install. best buy had the best price also.
