Fluxe reconnects factory-reset Wemo smart plugs and switches to your home WiFi network — no Wemo account, no cloud account, no hub. If you've ever reset a Wemo device (or bought one used) and been stuck trying to get it back online, Fluxe walks you through it: find the device's setup network, enter your WiFi password, and Fluxe handles the rest over your local network. No data leaves your phone except to Apple for purchases. HOW IT WORKS • Fluxe finds your factory-reset Wemo device's setup WiFi network • Enter your home WiFi password once • Fluxe configures the device directly over your local network • Once connected, your Wemo device works with HomeKit, Alexa, or Google Home as usual WHY FLUXE • No account required — Fluxe doesn't use a backend server • Works entirely over your local network • Fast: most devices reconnect in under a minute • 2 free reconnects included, with credit packs available for more Fluxe is not affiliated with Belkin or Wemo. It's an independent tool for owners of Wemo hardware who need a faster way to get a reset device back online.
