Software 9.2
WeMo’s integration with IFTTT (IF This Then That) is a stroke of genius. IFTTT is a web-based, social media integrated, workflow service that allows you to create chains of conditional events.
For example, you can use WeMo to automatically turn on your fan if the temperature reaches over 80°, or switch on the espresso machine when the motion detector senses you getting out of bed. Combined with a handy app that allows you to remotely control all your smart devices, WeMo is an incredibly effective tool for streamlining your life.
Warranty 9
Belkin’s products come with a lifetime warranty, which proves the company’s commitment to quality. All you need to do is contact technical support and ship them your defective product for a replacement.
Performance 8.5
WeMo makes automating your home a breeze. All you need is a WiFi connection, a few WeMo sensors and switches and you can start creating rules and schedules, and receiving notifications from your phone. There is also a range of WeMo-enabled products available, from slow cookers to humidifiers. If you’re more technically minded, the WeMo Maker allows you to wire up and automate almost any device!
Value 8.0
With sensors and switches starting at only $49.99, WeMo is an affordable option if you’re curious about getting into home automation. WeMo switches send notifications to your app and display your power usage, so even a small investment in WeMo products can end up saving you money.
