Ratings & Reviews for Belkin Wemo 15-amp 3-way Light Switch, White

Incredibly Buggy, Even Worse Support

Half the time I try to use the switch it tells me "Wemo is unavailable right now". Have to reset it regularly. Now had an issue where it won't reset, and for 9 days they have not resolved the issue, Twitter support gives different answers than 2nd tier support, and you cannot reach anyone on the phone. 9 days! I had to turn my breaker off for multiple lights in the house because the constant clicking and light show (blinking blue, red and green!) was unbearable. Still not resolved. Now they are ...

Doesn’t fit

This switch is too bulky and doesn’t fit the existing box case. Also the wiring comes with connectors which makes it even harder to fit the switch to the box case. Only buy it for newly built home otherwise you’ll have to take out your existing box case and put in a new one.

Scarcer than hens teeth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have managed to secure a few of these. They seem to work fairly well and have the feature of working with Homekit, Echo and Google. Only needing o one for a 3 way setup is great. Have used on light and fan circuits. Have had to resort to buying refurbished or used units. Would recommend if I had the feeling Belkin was going to continue making them.

Worked for awhile

Have 3 lite switches and 3 plug in modules. Set up a breeze, but after some time (months) goes randomly offline, takes literally hours sometimes to restablish, between failure to see wifi, failure to connect to app, multiple resets, router resets, etc. last week 2 light delivered dropped and been unable to reestablish after hrs trying.

It didn’t work

Hired an electrician to install and the unit didn’t work. Waiting on replacement now.

Upgrade your app firsr

Worked only after app software upgrade. Now working fine. Had to delete and reinstall app first- a pain.

Great security enhancement

Simple to install. This is my second switch which operate both my home and garage flood lights via Alexia, Great security addition when home or away

Great switch, excellent functionality

Easy to setup, works well, great features. Make sure you have a common wire before purchasing.

Must have for a smart home.

Love the product. Always works great. The only reason I took off one star was because it is a lot to fit in the box.

Well Worth It

Love this thing. It was pretty easy to setup, although my house/electrical is rather new (2016) so older houses may not have the right setup. Double check that. Otherwise, it is so helpful to have this three way switch installed to allow for connecting to my Google Home device.

Love it. Work perfect with Apple HomeKit

Nice outlook and easy install. Work really well with Apple HomeKit

Excellent 3-way switch

Love the 3-way switch. Easy to follow instructions made installation very simple. Connected to Apple HomeKit without any issues. Very happy with the purchase.

Easy To Wire, Difficulty With Alexa

After a quick installation, I connected the switch to the wi-fi mesh and opened Alexa to set up a routine. This was not necessary with my just-installed smart dimmer; it was detected by Alexa at connection and worked flawlessly without me setting up a routine, responding to on/off/dim commands without me opening the Alexa app. The 3-way switch appears to require a manual set up and for the first few days, didn't respond correctly to the routines, "turn on/off master bedroom", flickering but rema...

Perfect switch

Perfect switch for my needs. Works flawlessly, as advertised. Love the long-press rule that lets me control other Wemo lights.

Works well, Had to wire to the other switch locati

Bought 3 of these. The first one appeared to have an issue with it as the switch would only momentarily switch the light on. The traveler wires, common wire, neutral wire and ground were all correct. The fix was to install it replacing the other switch across the room. All others had no issue.

Would buy again

Very easy to install, works perfectly with my LED overhead lights and iOS devices

Great product! Very easy to install.

Great product! Very easy to install. I love the clean simple look.

Physically good but...

After researching and considering many options I went with the WEMO system as it overall had good reviews and is Apple HomeKit compatible. In the end I am generally satisfied in the first weeks of use though find that there are a lot of issues with the app and losing previously connected units when adding new one's. This seems to be a wifi and software issue that should be fixable in future firmware updates(?). In regards to the switch they work well and of course function without the app and...

Good looking

Pretty elegant, with detailed instructions. It will be better if a 3-way dimmer is there.

Fails when you need it most

Most of the time it works. Just be used to the factory reset process and luck trying to force the app to work.
