The Belkin WeMo Switch + Motion, The iPhone home remote and motion sensor, work together to let you use motion to turn almost anything in your house on or off. Have a light go on when you enter a room, have a fan go off when you leave the house. A heater, a lamp, your stereo, you name it—if you can plug it in, you can control it with WeMo Motion. You can even have it guard the door at night. With the free WeMo app, you tell WeMo Switch and Motion what to do when motion is sensed. WeMo is completely modular, so you can control as much or as little of your house as you like. And you can control it all from anywhere. WeMo is your home at your fingertips.

Set of 2 Drawer Lights with Motion Sensor & On/ Off Switch Battery Operated
well made product, but software/firmware is a bit rough around the edges Let me answer the first question – what exactly does this do?It controls ONE light. One side plugs in between the light and the wall – this is called the switch. It can be operated via the iphone/ipad app on or off. The other thing is a sensor. It also plugs into the wall, but does not control a second light. Instead, the sensor monitors motion via the round can thing and reports that motion to the iphone/ipad app. The app allows you to set “rules” that turn on and off the switch based on movement or time of day. You can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor and the time the switch stays on after motion ceases. By having the switch and sensor separate, you can put the sensor at the bottom of a flight of stairs and the switch on a light at the top, so once you start up the stairs the light turns on.You MUST have an iphone/ipad/itouch to use this. It is entirely dependent on the app.GoodThe switch, once set up, actually works as intended.The sensor seems to work well and has a decent range of motion.It works even when traveling (you dont have to keep your iphone/ipad in the same wifi network).It integrates with IFTTT, assuming you know what that is (google it – it is an “if this than that” service).BadThe set up can be problematic, not because of wifi issues, but because the app kept freezing on my ipad.The sensor does not include a light sensor – allowing you to not turn on the light if it is already bright in the room.The switch makes a loud click when it turns on or off.There are much less expensive alternatives.The switch does not allow dimming – it is on or off.The sensor pod has a plug that plugs into the wall brick, but I cant seem to tell if the wall brick does anything on its own.The iphone/ipad app is really just an iphone app. The ipad app works in “mini iphone” mode.There were virtually no directions in my packaging – just some pictograms on the back of the cover (but this was a review unit, so maybe there are instructions in the normal packaging).
Pretty neat I received one as a beta tester through IFTTT, and it’s pretty cool. I have the sensor sitting in the garage, set up through IFTTT to text me when it detects motion. I set up the outlet to turn on a light in my son’s room – which is fun to play with on the iPad, even though the app’s made for iPhone.
The Future is Now This is a simple to use and cool unit, and it’s just the tip of the iceburg of things to come.Basically, if you want to control and moniter electrical units in your home via your phone, you can by plugging them into these hard plastic, wifi sensitive little boxes. Someday soon, we won’t need these boxes.I found the set-up quite easy: download and install the app, plug in the switch, adjust the setings and use. They include a small, cylinder motion sensor for turning on lights or whatever. Check the status on your phone.My wife says so what? It’s great when your away; adjust lights, heat; when you’re heading home get things ready; set the timer.The price is a bit prohibitive, and one needs to get more units; it’ll come down with time, and they’ll improve it. It’s a neat product with a lot of potential and uses
