What can you do with it?
 
You Make The Rules

The Wemo App allows you to set Rules for your Wemo devices to follow such as turning ON the lights in the evening so you never come home to a dark house again.
 
Control It Remotely

Using your Wemo Account, you can turn ON your Wemo from anywhere as long as you are connected to the internet.  If you do not have an Account yet, you will need to create one.  For instructions, click here.

App Features
 
The Devices section
 

The Devices section is where you manage your Wemo devices.  This section of your Wemo App is where all devices linked to your Wemo Account are located.  You can check the status, turn your devices ON and OFF, as well as control and make changes to your Wemo devices on this screen.  To know more, click here.

NOTE:  Some routers have maximum number of supported devices or their network may limit the number of Wemo devices that can connect.  Therefore, you may see other devices disconnect from your network.
