Belkin WeMo F7C027fcAPL REVIEW

 

Update: 8/26/13: Thanks for all the positive comments.
... Mac Address (update): I did want to note I purchased a couple more of these from Amazon, and they still have the wrong MAC address (see below). I know for a while Belkin had a page up that showed some have the right one and some have the wrong one, and how to tell which is which. I can no longer find the page on their site, so I assumed it was fixed. It's not.

 

... IFTT (update): You can now access more than one device from the website.

... Extended WiFi network (update): If you extend your WiFi network by using multiple WiFi devices setup with the same NetworkID and password (if you do this, you'll know who you are). Belkin has fixed the problem that you can't properly access your devices externally.

... Device Firmware Update: Belkin has fixed alot of things with their most recent firmware update. From easier updates, cleaner UI for setting up events, properly saving WiFi information, and perhaps most importantly, the devices are rarely hanging. That said, they still do hang and need to be manually reset. It is nice to see Belkin continues to support the product actively.
... to all who appreciated the review, thanks for the kind words. ;)

Update: 12/16/12: There have been several firmware updates since the product first came out. The device seems to hang less often now than when I noted below... on the order of once every 2 to 3 weeks.

Original review:
I should note, I have several IP Power Switch boxes. I use them for things like controlling my network, network devices and stereo devices. These work off of wired ethernet, and have many plugs on the back that are addressable.
