Worked well for ~2 months I bought 4 of these light switches about a month after they were released. I had been adding motion detector lights, dusk-to-dawn lights, etc., to both improve energy efficiency and safety in my house. My purchase was designed to move further toward both of these issues, along with a new Kwikset lock and some security cameras.
Let me preface this my saying i have a background in IT so that helps me better understand how the setup process works I have purchased 5 of these light switches over the past few months, every single one has worked flawlessly. Let me preface this my saying i have a background in IT so that helps me better understand how the setup process works. As far as the setup process goes, I would highly recommend using an Apple device to run the initial setup. The android version of the wemo app is a little buggy UNTIL you apply the latest firmware update to the switch. After the firmware is applied, either app works…
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.
