Pros & Cons

Pros

Easy to setup. No issues (so far) with losing connection or requiring restarts. Only complaint is that i wanted to be updated when the problem was resolved, and that i didn't want to have to call periodically to check on the status.

Cons

The only way to get it working is to flip the breaker and reset it, then go through the set up again. But then last week the thing turned it wants to be reset but resetting it does nothing.

Low brightness dimming suffers less flickering, but does have the occasional led bulb that just goes out. All 4 seem to lock up and stop working in either on/off condition requiring breaker reset.

They loose connectivity to both alexa and the wemo app. They keep on disconnecting from wifi. Firmware updates usually result in losing alexa connectivity for several weeks.

The entire wemo line is marketed as works with alexa. Despite waiting multiple years for the software to stabilize, it's still awful. Will start to migrate to lutron caseta and ill throw all these in the trash.

But im here to tell you the newer wemo software hardware is superior to most of the big name plugs switch
