Then the drama began with the IFTTT - Service I believe that is absolutely required for use (---- which apparently is not the case as I learned later, and a notice during installation would be appropriate ----). Creating an account was still working albeit delayed. The confirmation e-mail for verification only arrived fifteen minutes later. Only then could attempt to activate the channel for the WEMO. For this, a key is generated on the iPhone, which is what the IFTTT in the browser - calls page and logs in the account transferred automatically. So typos excluded. One need only tap on "Enable" and should have everything set up.
That simply was not working. You research on the net revealed that it partially can take a day until the installation is possible. So it was with me 48 hours.
We should also mention that even the local router, for example, at night no longer allowed to be switched to standby because the WEMO must be otherwise re-registered. The same also after a power failure. It should be an already clear that the power consumption of the outlet itself and the additional standby loss of the router is not completely irrelevant. Further, the part has no web interface, thus it is necessarily dependent on the app.
-------------------- ------------------ UPDATE 1
The four star I forgive because I can basically confirm the function. A Firmwarupdate I had not done happily. However, the remote switching function worked outside their own WLAN only after two days, why remains unclear. I was about to return the part.
------------------- UPDATE 2 after several weeks of operation ------------------
It happens again and again that the WEMO is not found. Once was "OFF" is displayed even though "ON" was active. That must not happen.
Quick disconnection from the network to the rescue. All in all unreliable for important switching functions.
That is why depreciation on **
