I wanted another one that I could use with our Bona Vita coffee maker that I could control with my iPhone. The WeMo Insight switch was on sale at Amazon and is significantly smaller than the original one I already owned. I decided to get one.Since I don't get up each morning at the same time I don't want the coffee to start when I'm still sleeping. With the WeMo Insight switch, I set up the coffee the night before, turn the coffee maker to the "on" position and then when I get up, launch the WeMo app on my iPhone to turn the WeMo on. Coffee starts brewing and by the time I get to the kitchen, it is fresh and piping hot!I have the switch programmed to shut itself off at 3:00 PM so that if I want an additional cup of coffee during the day the coffee maker will work without having to manually engage the switch. I also have it programmed to turn "on" on Fridays only at a specific time since that one day I volunteer at a local park and know when I have to get up.I'm a fan of these devices, but they do have some problems that Belkin needs to work on. Occasionally, in order for the app to work on my phone, I need to "kill" the app and relaunch it. I have a couple wireless routers in the house, all on the same network, but the Belkin seems to get confused as it passes from one to the other. Once it's found the switches, it works perfectly.The big difference between the original Belkin WeMo switch and the WeMo Insight is size, with the Insight being significantly smaller. This works much better in an area where the switch is visible, in this case on my kitchen counter. It's also well designed to allow the use of the second plug in an outlet if the Insight is plugged into the bottom outlet.The Insight also has the ability to give you a lot of details about how much power you're using with whatever device you're controlling. In fairness, I don't use that feature, but if you're powering a device where you need that information, the Insight has a detailed report. You can see what it looks like on Belkin's website.These Belkin switches are a bit pricey, but really do the job, day in and day out. I've had the two mine for some time, and they're very reliable. You can easily set a device to come on or turn off at a specific day, at a specific time, at sunrise or sunset, or manually. The rule is stored in the device which remembers it even during a power outage or it the device is unplugged. You can also trigger these devices from outside your home. When properly set up, you can control them on your phone from anywhere.With the WeMo Insight, you can also see how much electricity you're using on the outlet where it's connected and potentially program whatever device you're controlling to lower usage and hence cost. This isn't a feature I'm using, but if you need or want that information, the Insight gives very detailed usage stats.I'd judge that the initial setup to be pretty straight-forward. You will need to know your wireless router's name and password. Setup joins the switch to your wireless network in order for you to control it. In my case, I use WPA2 Personal and had no problems getting the switches to function. Like most devices, there is a reset switch in case you need to move them to a new network. You then create rules for the switch which dictate how it will function. To do this, you need a free phone app that is available for both iPhones and Android phones.I really like this product and find it much more functional than just putting a timer on an electrical outlet. They're a bit pricey but appear to be very durable. I've owned my original WeMo switch for three years and it hasn't hiccuped yet. Ive owned the Insight for about nine months, and it, too, has been reliable.I think of these as more than just a gadget. If you're looking to take control of an appliance or lamp or what-have-you, this is the product to consider.UPDATE Saturday, February 6, 2016: I've been a fan of these devices for some time, but very disappointed in the iPhone app that let's you control it remotely. Until recently, my network consisted of multi access points. When launching the WeMo app, it was 50-50 whether it would find the switches, and if it did find them, identify them in the right state, e.g., on or off. There must be a new sheriff in town at Belkin's software and engineering department because suddenly this app is working much better. They sent an e-mail out several months ago that said they were going to work on getting the device to work as it was supposed to, and by golly, it really is greatly improved! I always enjoyed using my WeMo switches and thought they were a good investment, but now I'm far more enthusiastic. The app on iOS is greatly improved and the two switches I own are operating better than ever, even though they are both a few years old. Whoever took over the engineering department for WeMo at Belkin, "Thanks! Great job!" ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars WeMo Insight WAS an exercise in total frustration! Much better now. *by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2014* UPDATE December 2014. Several more software and firmware updates (10.1.1 latest) and the product is now working as expected and deserves 5 stars. 99%+ the phone app works to connect (quickly) to devices and control. Insight is still a tad slower. We now have 7 different WeMo products and all are working very well. I wish I didn't have to go through the months of agony when we first got them. The current functionality is excellent. Working very well on both iPhone 5 and 6.UPDATE September 2014. In the last two weeks, Belkin has provided two iOS updates (1.8.X) and one or two firmware updates. The connectivity issues are nearly gone now. As I suspected, the issue was with the iPhone app that couldn't connect 8 times out of ten. With the new updates, connectivity is very fast and pretty reliable. I'm still only giving the product 4 starts out of five for the months and months of issues I had with the product. The software is still not perfect with the Insight switches in terms of getting the update of data used, time on etc, but turning on and off all switches is now nearly instant as it should have been back in May of 2014 when I first purchased the products. Hopefully this new behavior will remain and I can now be happy with the product.ORIGINAL REVIEW: This generous 1 star is for the WeMo Insight switch. I also have two of the Light switches and one of the older plug-in units which would rate maybe 3.5 to four stars. The Insight is pretty much a piece of junk. I purchased two in May of 2014 and have had nothing but problems with them. In fact, I've had to send both back to WeMo for replacement, one is due to arrive tomorrow. In a nutshell, the WiFi connectively with this product is simply awful. More than half the time, the silly device doesn't show up on the iPhone or iPad. Quit the app, reboot the phone, try using the Airport utility as recommended, no amount of fuzing around gets the unit to show up. It's just easier to walk to the device and manually turn the unit on and off. Belkin support has ranged from just awful to decent. Getting the last unit replaced due to it's inability to be reset and then send out a signal was pretty bad. I had to keep calling and calling to finally get an RMA. The other two light switches and the one original switch work pretty well but not perfectly. At first I blamed their app which is pretty awful at updating itself. Then two Insight switches just flat out failed. Do not buy one! Try the other lesser expensive switch first and understand that the WeMo app is not very good. My wife and I have a good wireless network, we've got Airport Expresses (newer units) to extend the range, that didn't do a thing to fix the issues with the phone app and the Insights from communicating. The time I've wasted with Belkin support, frustration trying to get the switch to operate isn't worth it, I'll just get up and do this myself with far less issues. Too bad because when the unit works, it is pretty slick. If it actuall worked 50% of the time, I'd be in better shape than I am now, the Insight fails far more often than it works. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars *by R***H on Reviewed in India on June 21, 2016* Working as well as expected. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1583058-wemoinsight-wifi-enabled-smart-plug-with-energy-monitoring-works-alexa](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1583058-wemoinsight-wifi-enabled-smart-plug-with-energy-monitoring-works-alexa) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
