## Description

With the Wemo extension, you can control your Wemo devices from anywhere by using your browser. Turn lights and switches on or off, create scenes, and schedule routines for a smarter home.

Pair with Alexa or Google Assistant for hands-free control, set schedules and Away Mode to simulate occupancy, and connect with IFTTT for custom automations across services.

## Review summary

Reviews largely condemn the Wemo app after Belkin stopped supporting it. Core issues include repeated login/account creation errors, and generic failure messages. The cloud shutdown effectively bricks devices, eliminating control via Alexa/Google Home. There is little guidance or timely updates from support, leaving customers frustrated and seeking refunds or switches to other ecosystems after years of use.

### Pros

- Historically reliable app that worked fine for years.
- Broad compatibility and use of multiple Wemo devices before the shutdown (long-standing integration).

### Cons

- Frequent login and account creation errors, with vague messages like 'Something went wrong' or 'Error try again'.
- Cloud/service shutdown and end of support brick the devices, making them unusable.
- Loss of control via voice assistants (Alexa/Google Home) due to the outage.
- Poor or non-existent customer support and lack of timely updates or guidance.
