 User-added image


   The Wi-Fi® enabled WeMo Light Switch allows you to
   turn lights on and off from anywhere--from across the
   house, from the backyard, or from the other side of the
   world. WeMo Light Switch replaces a standard light
   switch in your home and can be controlled remotely
   with your smartphone, tablet or even your voice when
   paired with your Amazon Echo. It works with your
   existing Wi-Fi® network and anywhere your smartphone or
   tablet has an Internet connection (3G or 4G LTE).
