Do I have to move my existing Wemo installation to a Wemo Account

If you have an existing Wemo® installation before Wemo Accounts were made available, you will have the option to continue using your Wemo devices without an account or you can move it to a Wemo Account when starting the Wemo App.

Before you begin

The following criteria must be met, otherwise you will need to use a Wemo Account with your Wemo installation:
1.  Your Wemo installation was done before Wemo Accounts were made available.
2.  Your Wemo App was used with your Wemo installation before Wemo Accounts were made available.
3.  
Your Wemo installation has not been moved to a Wemo Account by someone else.
 

Choosing the existing Wemo installation

NOTE:  Your Wemo devices' functionality will not be affected should you choose not to move to a Wemo Account.  However, for added security, improved reliability and ease-of-use features, moving to a Wemo Account is highly recommended.

Step 1:  Connect to the Wi-Fi where your Wemo devices are connected to.

Step 2:  Open the Wemo App.

The Wemo App will introduce you to Wemo Accounts and provide you with the following options:
 
1.  Create An Account - Create a new Wemo Account
2.  I’ll Do This Later - Continue using your Wemo devices without a Wemo Account
3.  Log In - Log in to an existing Wemo Account

Step 3:  Tap on I’ll Do This Later.  You will be taken to the Wemo App's Devices section.  You can now continue using your Wemo devices as you always have.

NOTE:  The Wemo App will prompt you to create a Wemo Account in three days, and then weekly after that.  You can continue using your Wemo devices without an account by tapping I’ll Do This Later, or until someone else links your Wemo devices to a Wemo Account.
 


Why do I not see the "I’ll Do This Later" option?

If you do not see this option, that means your Wemo installation has been moved to a Wemo Account. 

NOTE:  If you see the screen below, instead of creating a new account, you will need to Log In to the associated Wemo Account to continue controlling the Wemo devices from the App.
