Wemo

Terrible products. To set up devices, you’re required to scan a QR code, which is located on the back of the device …. which can’t be scanned with device plugged in. Set up consistently fails. Truly useless products.

I had to reconnect all my devices after upgrade and lost all my rules. After working to redo all of these - the devices disappeared again from my app which said I needed a firmware update. Did the firmware update - didn’t get my devices back and now lost all my rules, again! Previously this was a rock solid system - 2 stars only because of years of problem-free use & hope that WEMO gets its act together.

Couldn’t set up a WeMo switch because it told me the password contained a character that was not allowed when it didn’t… and other annoying bugs and annoyances. Don’t they test these things?

I have 10 Wemo devices connected for our home. It’s great when everything works. The issue is that the Wemo devices would randomly lost connection to the WiFi network. They would eventually reconnect themselves without having to do anything. Many times the device (random ones) would disconnect and would not reconnect until I hard reset them to factory default and reconfigure them. It has become more frustrating in recent times. I’m getting close to ripping them off our network and replace them with another brand. If I would start from scratch, I would not go with the Wemo brand again.

Wemo devices fall off the WiFi network or lose their programming constantly. Had to disable 5G WiFi push to keep Wemo devices on the 2.4G network

I have had my Wemo mini for approximately two years and it worked flawlessly. I had a Internet problem a few days ago and it quit working. I tried everything to get it to reset and couldn’t. Finally, I contacted customer support and they walked me through several steps. As a final option, the customer support tech suggested I try a different handheld device to connect with. This worked. Highly recommend these products and their customer support is top-notch.

Bought both switches and outlets for the house. They constantly drop off WiFi and Alexa and it’s a pain to reset as it wants you to scan the code which is on the back of the unit and requires you to either unplug it or disassemble the switch. Then when you get it to work with the app, Alexa doesn’t recognize it anymore. It happens so frequently that it is better to replace with a different brand. My WiFi is fiber optic and 1g with numerous repeaters throughout the house. This happens even with the switch outside my junction box door. When it does work, it is a nice convenience.
