Belkin Wemo Home Automation Switch with motion sensor, smart outlet for iOS and Android devices (electronics)

Customer Review

Currently I run a few radio outlets on the conventional 433MHz technology. With the wemo devices I had hoped for a better ans smartphone tethered solution that would also give me feedback on the switching state.

The disillusionment came out of the box.

Switch and Motion could be activated via the app, when you try to create a rule for switching the socket on the motion, the app but hung on several occasions on.
After the rule was eventually created, the motion switched as required the electrical outlet, then after a few seconds completely failed and no longer appeared in the list of switchable devices.
The check usually difficult was only possible because the app when you call the "Rules" tab again repeatedly hung up. You remember: the app is half German and half English.

The operation of the App must be largely referred to as "insolence". Texts are below their corresponding buttons instead it. Options that should be selected for proper function are not generally indicated. Whether a new rule has been recorded or not, after pressing the "Save" button is not visible.

Switching the socket on the App worked in 9 of 10 cases. Not only because the Belkin product but even advertises with an iron connected to it that you forget, if the move could still turn off (who the hell does that?) You have to expect that the circuit works in 100% of cases.

The connection to the Internet service IFTTT worked not in my test. At first I had the power outlet and the motion directly from the app wemo coupled with IFTTT because this process is, however, ends with a "DONE" button, which then leads nowhere and no one has quit the app, I had at first believed, after re-establishment on IFTTT site on the computer, the problem is probably resolved, but unfortunately non-existent.

Therefore, I am left only one conclusion: do not buy!
