Are you talking about the wemo mini specifically?The Canterbury Tail wrote: ↑ I bought one of these last week, and I'll be returning it. Garbage. When it works it's fabulous, however it loses the connection to the router once a day and needs a reset. Do a search online and see how many people complain about this (including all the Best Buy reviews which have mysteriously been rated at 5 starts because their site is broken.) Needing a manual unplug and reset once a day renders it pointless. So I'll be returning mine and buying a TP Link or some other brand of smart plug. Wemo just isn't worth it.

I've had the regular wemo switch, light switch and insight for over 2 years no problem. I guess the issue is just with the minis.The Canterbury Tail wrote: ↑ Yes the Wemo Mini. Haven't tried any of their others, and based off my experience with the mini I won't be.

TP-Link WiFi switches, plugs and bulbs have been 50% off at BB/Amazon.ca a couple of times over the last month. They've been rock-solid for me. Easy setup, reliable operation.

I agree. Bought Wemo before tried it for a week, kept dropping, problems connecting, one of them didn't even wanna connect at all. Returned them all to Lowes.

Can you elaborate a little? I'm about to buy a bunch of switches, just deciding which brand to go with. I have also preordered an amazon echo for the voice control. What will I not to able to do with the tp-link switches + amazon echo?Exp315 wrote: ↑ TP-Link WiFi switches, plugs and bulbs have been 50% off at BB/Amazon.ca a couple of times over the last month.

But if you're planning to get into home automation beyond a few experimental devices, you might want to consider future cost and deployment strategy and end up going with Zigbee or Z-Wave instead of WiFi.

The TP-Link Wifi switches and plugs work great, and they're a smart buy if you only need a few because they're on sale cheap and they don't need a bridge. But if you get into home automation and you decide that you are going to automate your whole home with smart plugs, switches, bulbs, dimmers, motion detectors etc., you need to consider two things:adblink182 wrote: ↑ Can you elaborate a little?
