Modular System Allows For Multiple Configurations
WeMo is completely modular, allowing you to control as much or as little of your home as you like. You can add multiple switches to your home and turn them all on at once or program each one to turn on or off at certain times.

Belkin also offers the WeMo Switch and WeMo Motion Kit (sold separately) which includes a motion sensor and allows you to use the WeMo app to program a hallway light to turn on when movement is detected.

A great idea, horribly implemented. The switch drops off my Wi-Fi network 2 or 3 times a week. When this happens, you must repeat the setup process and it stops functioning until you do. Belkin tech support had no good answer, other than to change my Wi-Fi router. The other half-dozen devices in my home have no problem with my network, so I'm confident it's the piece of junk WeMo, not my router.

Think about it. The whole idea of this switch is so that you can control it when you're away from home. But if it consistently drops offline, what is it good for? That's right. Absolutely nothing. Save your money.

-- Update  --

After many (too many to count) firmware updates, the WeMo switch is finally reliable for me. It's a shame that Belkin stained their reputation by releasing such a poor product, but I give them credit for eventually fixing it.
