### 1/5 — Don’t spend your money

*2026-06-12, version 1.6.2*

The app don’t not work at all ..been trying for months and it doesn’t fine any switches or any wemo devices.no response from anyone

### 3/5 — Feature Requests

*2026-05-04*

Very useful app. It helped me recover local control of several legacy Wemo switches after Belkin discontinued Wemo cloud support.

Two important feature requests: improved support for Wemo wall dimmers, including brightness control, and a way to expose locally controlled Wemo devices to Google Home and/or Amazon Alexa. Many users still have good Wemo hardware installed and would gladly pay for a Pro feature or bridge option that restores voice assistant integration.

### 5/5 — My WEMO’s still work!

*2026-04-06, version 1.6.2*

Thank you for this app

### 5/5 — Allowed me to re-add old wemo’s

*2026-03-29*

I was able to re-add old wemo’s by resetting them to factory settings. Connected to them via the unique Wemo WiFi name on my iPhone. Once connected, I was able to update the wifi and rename them. All the wemo’s I have are being used  via a Wemo hub to expose them to HomeKit. All are working perfectly. With this app it allows me to add any Wemo to my existing HomeKit setup. No Wemo servers needed!

### 3/5 — More needed

*2026-03-28*

This app desperately needs scheduling implemented, which means programmed on/off times. Without it it is a very basic app. Timer alone it is not enough.  Otherwise it works.

### 2/5 — Almost there

*2026-03-22*

Like most, I found myself locked out of the WEMO app. This app is good at detecting the devices. I was very disappointed however that the “timer” is more of an egg timer requiring manual setting every time.
The WEMO app provided an auto-on auto-off function. This is the ONLY function I needed from the app & only used the app to adjust for Daylight Savings Time.
Without this, this app is worthless to me. I resorted to setting up routines in Alexa to take care of it.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work at all

*2026-03-22, version 1.6.2*

I took a chance this might save my wemo devices, but it didn’t recognize any of them at all. Total waste of money.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-03-16*

There are only two things that this app cannot do. One is rules and the other is current draw.  Some wemo games switches do show current draw.

### 2/5 — It is just a on off switch

*2026-03-08, version 1.6.1*

Its just a switch it does not have any other features

### 1/5 — Does not work away from home. I wish I could get my $4 back

*2026-03-04, version 1.6.1*

Does not work when away from your house. Do not bug
