Belkin WeMo Mini Wi-Fi Smart Plug review

 

For a few years now, Belkin's WeMo line of smart home switches have been a reasonably affordable home automation starting point . Now, for 2017, Belkin figured it was time to refresh the lineup.

At $35, the new WeMo Mini is competitively priced, and the smaller design won't block adjacent outlets. Native compatibility with IFTTT, Google Home, and Amazon's Alexa make it one of the most well-connected smart plugs you can buy.

WeMo gear won't work with Apple HomeKit (or with Siri), and the WeMo app is still woefully glitchy at times.

WeMo's always been a solid smart home starting point, and at just $35, the WeMo Mini is the line's best offering yet.

The new WeMo Mini is Belkin's best smart switch yet

 

With full Alexa and Google Home compatibility, the $35 Belkin WeMo Mini is a great smart-home starter gadget.

At $35, the new WeMo Mini is competitively priced, and the smaller design won't block adjacent outlets. Native compatibility with IFTTT, Google Home, and Amazon's Alexa make it one of the most well-connected smart plugs you can buy.

WeMo gear won't work with Apple HomeKit (or with Siri), and the WeMo app is still woefully glitchy at times.

WeMo's always been a solid smart home starting point, and at just $35, the WeMo Mini is the line's best offering yet.

Belkin Wemo Mini Smart Plug

 

The Belkin Wemo Mini Smart Plug connects to your home Wi-Fi, allowing you to turn lights and other appliances on and off using your smartphone and voice commands. It is a cinch to install, but it lacks energy monitoring capabilities.

Easy to install. Works with Alexa and IFTTT. No hub required. Nice scheduling options.

Doesn't track energy usage. No HomeKit support.

The Belkin Wemo Mini Smart Plug provides an easy way to convert lamps and other small appliances into smart devices that you can control from your smartphone. It offers plenty of scheduling options, supports IFTTT recipes, and voice commands with Alexa...

Wemo Mini Smart Plug review: Compact, smart, and inexpensive

 

This smart plug works over Wi-Fi and with the Amazon Echo, Google Home, and—come this fall, Belkin says—Apple's HomeKit ecosystem.

Compact design avoids blocking other plugs in a duplex outlet ; Works with Alexa, Google Home, Nest, and IFTTT ; Large, easily accessible manual on/off button on the front

You must connect to the device’s Wi-Fi network to set up ; Requires account-free cloud linking for remote access ; No HomeKit support (for now)

Belkin WeMo Mini Review: A Slim and Capable Smart Plug

 

The Belkin WeMo Mini is a good all-around smart plug. Its slim design doesn't block the second outlet; a physical button makes turning it on and off convenient; and its app, while a little confusing, has a clever Away mode, and lets you link the plug...

Physical on/off switc ; Works with lots of smart home systems ; Slim profile ; Home/Away Mode

No dimming feature ; No energy monitoring ; Larger than other mini plugs

This small plug makes it a cinch to make your floor lamp or some other appliance into a "smart" device.
