SwitchPilot is the local-first way to control the smart plugs and switches you already own. It talks to compatible Wemo and Kasa devices directly over your home Wi-Fi — no cloud account, no remote server, and nothing that stops working when a company shuts a service down. Built after a popular smart-home cloud (Wemo) was discontinued, SwitchPilot exists for a simple reason: the hardware on your walls still works perfectly. The service behind it went away, but the silicon didn't. SwitchPilot puts you back in the pilot's seat. WHY SWITCHPILOT • Local Wemo and Kasa control. Commands go straight to the device on your network. If your internet is down, your switches still aren't. • No SwitchPilot account required. Nothing to sign up for. Your devices and your home layout stay on your phone. • Bring your existing gear. Keep the plugs, switches, and dimmers you already own instead of replacing a drawer full of working hardware. • Fast and direct. Wemo and Kasa commands do not make a round-trip to a server just to turn off a lamp. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Discover devices automatically on your Wi-Fi, or add one by hand using its IP address when you want precise control. • Control compatible devices directly and refresh their reported state. • Organize devices into groups that match how your home actually works — "Living Room," "Gym Lights," "Outdoor" — and switch a whole group at once. • Rename supported devices directly from SwitchPilot. • Create on/off schedules on supported devices, so compatible routines can continue without SwitchPilot remaining open. • Reorder and collapse groups to keep a tidy dashboard. • Keep your most-used switches on a Favorites tab, and drag them into the order you want. That order follows you to Apple Watch and Favorites widgets. • Switch Wemos from Apple Watch. Browse Favorites or every switch by room; your nearby iPhone handles the connection, even when locked. • See Wemo status in Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy widgets. On iOS 17 or later, tap a Home Screen tile to switch it. • Use Siri or Shortcuts to turn a switch on or off, toggle it, or get its state, including in automations while the app is closed. • Retrieve a compatible Wemo’s setup code and add it to Apple Home. • Control Cync (C by GE) lights with optional sign-in to GE’s service. • See live switch updates and your current Wi-Fi network on the Dashboard. • Choose whether SwitchPilot opens on Dashboard or Favorites. • Open SwitchPilot on a Mac with Apple silicon. PRIVACY BY DESIGN SwitchPilot doesn't have a cloud to send your data to. Device names, groups, and layout live on your phone. Wemo and Kasa control happens on your local network. There's no SwitchPilot account or tracking server; Wemo and Kasa commands have no third party in the middle. WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone left with smart plugs after a cloud service was discontinued. • People who moved newer gear to another ecosystem but still have older smart plugs they don't want to toss. • Anyone tired of stitching together third-party apps and workarounds just to flip a switch. Your hardware already works. SwitchPilot just lets you fly it — locally, on your own terms. --- Compatibility: SwitchPilot works with compatible Wemo and Kasa smart plugs and switches on your Wi-Fi network. Cync (C by GE) lights are supported through optional Cync account sign-in and GE’s service. SwitchPilot is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, approved by, or officially supported by Belkin, Wemo, TP-Link, Kasa, GE, or Cync.
