To test the first idea to the Belkin Wemo Maker was to pair it with a wind sensor.
So he should send me a message on the smartphone when the wind is too strong and I better close my umbrella on the balcony.
This is probably not because of wemo Maker on analog sensor input only "on" and "off" understands max. a sensor with 5 VDC and 100 mA. And the relay output can be operated with 24 volts AC or 12 volts DC.
The app does not support notification on your mobile phone or even by email.
That is why there is no use coming as "Alarm" in question. Here my Siemens Gigaset element system is much better suited with alarm with notification to phone and e-mail.
Another use I have to look for me only.
In the bathroom as an alarm sensor for the washing machine, perhaps? But for need only a suitable sensor.
In the basement we have a condensate pump the alarm contacts are not connected.
For useful application suggestions I am grateful.
There is an English-language forum with nice idea but there recommended sensors and switches I do not get in Germany.
There are no accessories from Belkin, going charitable again for a longer visit to Conrad and look me in the local electronics department. The business would Belkin can make yourself.
Other Accessories from Belkin wemo series as the switch have their own wireless network.
The Wi-Fi network when you first install WeMo.Maker.064 sends unencrypted without a password. That's not so bad because then the connection via the secured by WPA2 wireless local network goes.
Anyway I draw a star from because everyone who is logged in can access without a password on the wemo Maker.
The app itself is easy and Germanized, my location Rdesheim am Rhein no ΓΌ only possible.
So far I can wemo maker on and off times and forgive provisionally four star only problem.
Note the manufacturer: To connect the Wemo Makers with your electrical appliances to basic circuits are provided.
And I add: The hobbyist should blow some electronics hardware have to start right away with the device can at home.
