Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tempic at 5.0 against Wemo's 4.0. Tempic also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Wemo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (117K vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
