WSwitch for WeMo vs WeWhisperer for WeMo

WSwitch switches your smart plugs and lights from your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. One tap turns a lamp, a heater, or a whole room on or off. Everything runs on your home network, with no account and no cloud service. HOME • Tiles show every device and whether it's on. Tap a tile to switch it. • Dim LED bulbs right on their tile. • Groups switch several devices at once, and All Off turns everything off. ENERGY • For Insight plugs: live watts, today's energy and on-time, a power chart, and totals. • Enter your electricity price to see what it costs. TIMERS, SCHEDULES, AND AUTOMATIONS • Keep a plug on for 15 minutes to 2 hours, and it switches itself off, even if your iPhone is off. • Shortcuts actions turn devices on or off, toggle them, check whether they're on, or turn everything off. • Use Shortcuts automations to switch devices at set times, when you arrive home, or when a Focus turns on. A built-in guide shows how. EVERYWHERE • Home Screen widgets in three sizes, with a button for each device. • A control for Control Center and the Lock Screen. • An Apple Watch app to switch devices from your wrist. • Quick actions on the app icon to turn everything on or off. SETUP • WSwitch finds your devices by itself, or you can add one by its IP address. • Set up a new or reset plug on your Wi-Fi right from your iPhone. • Rename devices, give each one an icon, and choose what appears in widgets and on your watch. COMPATIBLE DEVICES Belkin WeMo Insight Smart Plug, Switch Smart Plug, Switch + Motion, and Smart LED Bulbs with the WeMo Link. Not compatible with HomeKit-enabled models. Your iPhone and your devices need to be on the same local network. Also available for Mac. WSwitch is an independent app and isn't affiliated with Belkin.

When Belkin shut down the WeMo cloud, working hardware stopped answering. WeWhisperer brings it back — talking to your devices directly over your own Wi-Fi, with no account to create and nobody's servers in between. SETS UP DEVICES OTHER APPS CAN'T A complete Wi-Fi setup tool for brand-new and factory-reset WeMo devices — including many early models running the original firmware, which most software can no longer provision at all. Bought a used WeMo? Changed your router? Start here. FAST LOCAL CONTROL Toggle plugs, switches, and dimmers instantly. Nothing round-trips through a server, so there's no lag and no outage to sit out. WeWhisperer finds your devices on the local network on its own. SIRI, SHORTCUTS, AND WIDGETS Build WeMo devices into Shortcuts and automations, or put them on your Home Screen — widgets switch devices and bulb groups without opening the app. WEMO LINK AND SMART BULBS Full WeMo Link bridge support: find your bridge, pair WeMo or Cree Zigbee bulbs, adjust brightness, and build bulb groups stored on the bridge itself. CUSTOM CONTROL GROUPS Group any devices together, whatever their type. Turn off the living room lamps, the space heater, and the fan with one tap. REMOTE ACCESS OVER ICLOUD — REQUIRES A MAC AT HOME Leave WeWhisperer running on a Mac at home and control your devices from anywhere. It runs on Apple's CloudKit through your own iCloud account, so your device data isn't sitting on our servers — we don't have any. MOTION ALERTS — REQUIRES A MAC AT HOME Push notifications the moment a WeMo Motion sensor detects movement, wherever you are. BUILT FOR MAC Run WeWhisperer from the menu bar and assign global keyboard shortcuts to your favourite devices and groups, without breaking your workflow. DEVICE EXPLORER See exactly what a device reports it can do. Useful when something isn't behaving — and you can send those details to us from inside the app, in one tap. CONFIRMED COMPATIBLE • WeMo Switch • WeMo Motion Sensor • WeMo Link Bridge, with WeMo and Cree bulbs Other WeMo models may work but aren't confirmed. PRIVACY No account to create. Your devices are controlled from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, and remote access runs through your own iCloud. Full details in our privacy policy.
