Wemo Setup

Before you begin with setting up your Wemo® device, here are a few things to consider:
 

• You must have the latest Wemo app installed on your mobile device and a Wemo account.  For instructions on how to create an account, click here.
• Verify if your Wemo supports Apple® HomeKit® by checking if there is a HomeKit code label at the back or side of the device.  For more instructions, click here.
• Your mobile device must be connected to the same WiFi where you want to install your Wemo.  Make sure to have your WiFi password ready.  To learn how to check your WiFi settings when on a Belkin router, click here.  If you want to change your WiFi settings using the router's dashboard, click here.
• You may need to disable the Smart network switch (sometimes called Mobile Network Switch or Auto-switch to mobile network) on your Android™ device.  If you're using an iOS device, you may need to disable WiFi Assist instead.  To learn more, click here.
