Wemo F7C030fc Light Switch, WiFi enabled, Works with Alexa and the Google Assistant


Whether you’re working at a coffee shop or vacationing in the Caribbean, this smart light switch lets you remotely control your lighting using your phone or tablet from anywhere with no subscription or hub. Using the free Wemo app, you can schedule your lamps to turn off at sunrise, or synchronize your lights with the sunset so you never arrive to a dark room. When set to “Away Mode,” it can turn your plugged-in lights on and off randomly to make it appear like you’re home for extra security. Pair this dimmer with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant built-in devices like Google Home to dim your lights with just the power of your voice. When paired with Nest’s Thermostat, Nest’s “home” and “away” modes can sync with your switch for automatic control. Nest can tell it when you’re home or away so your lights can greet you when you arrive, and switch off when you’re away to conserve energy.

    So far so good and it was easy to install
    Update 4/6/2017:Finally got around to getting that third switch in! Still loving my WeMos. Forget IFTTT. WeMo has so many programming options I do not bother with unreliable IFTTT anymore. Still no issues and I’ve updated the firmware for the third time. Even my husband loves that we can turn off all the lights without getting out of the warm bed. Planning what switch to change out Next!Update 2/23/2017:I finally got IFTTT connected. Turns out there is no Wemo app for the iPad. I used the iPhone app on my iPad and even though it seemed to work, it would not connect my Wemo devices to IFTTT. Once I switched to the app on my iPhone, I was able to connect to IFTTT. I’ve also installed two more light switches. No longer do the garage lights get left on all night! Upping to 5 stars!I have had no issues with the switches and I’ve updated the firmware twice now with no issues. So far the only down side I’ve seen is the size of the switch itself. I have two switches for the garage lights installed in a 3 ganger. I would love to replace that last light switch with a Wemo but I have no idea where I’d put the wires. As it is I crammed the wires and caps behind the old switch just to get these two into the box.I bought and installed this with little electrical knowledge. The hardest part was getting all the wires back into the electrical box and getting the switch to lay flat. I installed it in the bedroom to control the overhead fan and light. The set up was easy and it works well with Alexa. I am having a hard time writing an IFTTT recipe. I keep ending up in this endless loop when I connect the wemo device to the channel. For this I took off one star. I’ve never had a problem writing recipes before and I use it to set an entire house schedule.With that said I just want to clarify that the switch cannot control the light and fan separately. It’s either on or off. I have a separate remote control that I use to control them separately. It’s a little complicated and will take some adjusting to but it works. I mainly wanted it so that my bedroom lights and fan were on a schedule guaranteeing that the would not get left on during the day. I can also turn off my bedroom off all at once with one voice command (nice when you start to fall asleep and don’t want to get out of a nice warm bed!). I plan on buying more of these for those other lights that tend to get left on all the time light the garage lights.

    Bought one and like it so much I kept buying more.
    This light switch and the other outlet style plug has worked reliably for over 3 years. There would be occasional hiccups like power interruptions that cause the switches to restart, but they have never failed on me. However, you are at the mercy of your internet connection and if you happen to be away while the network crashes, you won’t be able to communicate with the switches. The daily programs will continue to work regardless.Setting this up properly does require some networking knowledge and how to properly implement security. The switches both work on hidden and broadcasted SSID Wifi networks. Half of my switches work on the hidden SSID and the other half are connected to the broadcasted SSID. They do support security password keys, but if you want an extra layer of protection, turn on your router/basestation’s MAC address control to enable only recognized and authorized devices access to your wireless network.I have assigned static IP address to these switches by way of their MAC addresses, to avoid IP conflict when power cycling happens to my router. This is the general rule for all of my stay-at-home devices.Update 2017My eleventh switch will be arriving tomorrow. The first switch I bought in 2013 is still working to this day. All switches are still working reliably.Works perfectly with NEST thermostat, Amazon Echo and IFTTT.Update Dec 20171. The WEMO App first lets you name each switch and then allows you to set up “Rules” for unattended on/off times to a switch or a group of switches. So that a switch or a group of switches will turn on/off at a scheduled time.2. The Amazon Alexa App allows you to first create intelligent named “Groups” of switches, such as “Exterior Lights”, “Interior Lights”, “Living Room Lights”, so you can use voice control to address them in a meaningful way. “Alexa, turn off Living Room Lights” or “Alexa, turn off All Lights.”3. IFTTT will integrate all the functionality of your smart devices with WEMO and ALEXA (NEST and others too). i.e. The GPS in a smart phone can be used to create an invisible fence that can turn WEMO switches on/off as you pass in/out of its perimeter. My living room lights and exterior lights come on when I’m about half a mile from home. NEST can also sense I’m coming home and start cooling/heating the house. The are thousands of “recipes” ready to use.With these three Apps together, there are thousands of possibilities to automate your home if you are willing to experiment. These are just some of the ways I use mine.Update March 20181. Recently purchased the Wemo Mini Smart Plug to make the uplights in the kitchen cabinets smart. Set up was easy but I first had to add the switch’s MAC address to my basestation before connecting to one of my home’s SSIDs.2. That makes twelve switches and all are active and functioning as you can see.3. The Wemo App is very laggy, but luckily with voice activation, I rarely launch the app except to take screenshots. I use Alexa’s voice recognition instead. The Mac version of the app needs to support higher resolution displays like the Android one does.

    Desde que compré el primero me gustó mucho más que otras marcas y otras apps para controlarlo, recientemente sacaron a la venta la integración con Apple, pero ya con esta compra llevo 6 apagadores y me gusta mucho la variedad de funciones programables que puedes hacer. Muy recomendable, fácil de instalar, lo único que se necesita el neutro para poder alimentarlo, Ojo con eso.

    I have my own home theatre and this is a sleek solution that allows me to have my guests get seated safely with the lights on and remotely turn them off to get the movie started. Probably not necessary for most applications, but it has come in handy for my home theatre and adds to the magic of the cinema. It was pretty easy to install if you have any experience in installing light switches or exhast fan switches you should be able to do this yourself. The trickiest park is getting all the wires to fit in the box behind it, as it is fairly deep in the wall box. once its installed you just download the app from Belkin for android or IOS and follow the instructions in the app to setup on your home network. You must have a medium to good wifi signal in the room you intend to set it up in, or you will not be able to use it from your app. The software works pretty well, I find it is getting more stable (less crashes) and more prompt with ever update/patch. The software also lets you set the lights to turn off or on, on their own. A good feature if you want it to make it look like your home, while on vacation. I wouldn’t recommend this switch to everyone, but if you want a more dramatic effect or need the ability to control the lights from far away then this product works well! I would recommend that Belkin come out with a version of this light switch that uses Bluetooth as well as wifi. Then you could control the switch in a room from a distance even if you had a poor wifi signal.

    Los instalé, de hecho compré 3 al inicio, los he probado por al menos por 2 años. Me costó un poco configurarlos al inicio, porque no detectaba el router (con Android) aunque lo tenía a 2 metros, al final pude con un cel iphone. lo malo es que cuando se va la luz se pierde la configuración y hay q volver a realizar el mismo proceso. He optado por dejarlos sin configuración pero sólo funcionan como un apagador normal. La instalación necesita de 2 cables, Neutro y Carga. La programación de prendido random es medio complicada porque a veces se prende más de lo que debería y a veces no se apagan/prenden. A veces no me responden por internet, y del router si no está cerca no funcionan. En costo-beneficio se me hacen caros para lo que hacen, creo hay modelos más baratos y con mejor rendimiento, sorry!
