I’ve started out on the homekit journey. Extremely pleased with Merros smart plugs. And just bought eufy cam 2c 2k system, hope it’s good .. you’ve helped my research.
Must Haves are: Lutron Caseta Dimmer (with bridge), Phillips Hue, August Lock, ecobee thermostat and ihome plug in wall switch. Never Purchase: Leviton dimmers (no bridge) - constantly not responding My Q homebridge for myq smart garage hub - incorrect installation instructions and customer support can't resolve issues. I have approximately 60-70 devices within homekit and have had a love/hate relationship with it from day one. Every 2 months or so I had an issue with something not responding. Upgrading my router to an orbi mesh network and increasing my internet speed has helped. Hoping over time with both apple homekit and manufacturer firmware updates we see reliability get better.
That's great to hear that it's getting better for you overall. I hear ya...smart home tech is GREAT...when it works! 😃Thanks for sharing your experience with all those products.
Great video Eric! I STILL haven't gotten one of those Lutron Fan controls. Every morning and evening when I have to get out of bed just to cut the fan on/off I say to myself "I gotta automate this *&$&#* thing!" I love the Lutron Light switches that I have so I definitely need to get me some of these fan switches soon.
Haha I know the feeling! It's easy to see the places in our homes we want to improve. If/when you do get the fan control, I'm sure it will make for great content. 🍿
I have 6 Lifx bulbs (not the day&dusk) and haven't had a single issue with them (they are hardwired to the 2.4Ghz band). Philips HUE is on the no fly list for me for all the phone homing it does.
I’d like to toss an update out there for anyone watching this video- Iv been using the Wemo plugs for about 6 months now (I have 5 or 6) and they’re rock solid. Not sure if there was a firmware update after this review but I’d give them thumbs up all day.
Your opinion on the Wemo's is SPOT ON. I've been using them for a year now and they seam to drop connection about every month, and when one drops the others to follow shortly after. This problem became more frequent when I added more devices. I'm currently using (4) of the 2018 wide outlet switches (1) of the new 2020 outlet switches and (1) wall 2020 wall switch. The wall switches have a "reset button" just below the main switch so there's no need to run to the breaker box, but... yeah what a pain it's been. I have (12) LUTRON switches for the past year and I haven't had any issues. I've ordered Hue outlet switches to replace these problematic WEMO's for good!
I agree with you on the Wemo Mini Light Switches, they are tricky to setup, once setup they work pretty well with HomeKit App but on the pull down menu from your phone they don’t register accurately whether they are on or off. BTW I am running 6 of them.
I have 6 Wemo switches and 5 mini plugs and a motion sensor. They work great, no problems. I wonder if the problem is the WiFi setting? I have all my switches and thermostat on 2.4ghz and use 5ghz for everything else. I love that you can set up rules with wemo to automatically turn lights on and off depending on time of day or if motion is sensed. I don’t use HomeKit, I have Google Home, so maybe it’s a HomeKit problem? “Okay Google, turn on the outside lights,” and they’re on. Love them. Just wish they made outdoor plugs or a three way dimmer.
JJ. You can use the regular Wemo dimmer and use another switch like the philips wireless switch to control the Wemo switch. I have that same setup in my kitchen
I have several Wemo smart plugs. The setup process was a bit odd when they first added HomeKit support but they work great for me. I have several and use them to run basement fans on a schedule, among other things. Conversely, I’ve had MANY problems with iDevices switches from day one. And I have both their inside and outside smart plugs. Also have had problems with iHome smart plugs. Regarding the three way, not sure why you would use a three way switch for a two way circuit. I have some places I’d like to test this on, but haven’t purchased any yet.
Yeah smart plug networking can be hard to make reliable. That's good to hear your Wemo plugs are working well. For my garage switches, I wanted to try out Belkin's latest generation of switches for the channel, and I had an Apple Store gift card burning a hole in my pocket at the time. 😃
Eric Welander I know that feeling all too well. :) if I had one beef with HomeKit devices that was non-functional in nature it would be that they only seem to come in white. Works for my house but not my mom’s. Wish they would have options for ivory/almond/whatever that beige color is called.
The Wemo plugs I have don't like my mesh network. I can be 10 feet away from an Eero unit and it still won't connect. I had to move it to a different spot (less desirable) to get it to work. I have three in total. I put them to use on the least important devices.
You may have just had some bad luck or poor wireless coverage in your garage with the Wemo switches. I have 16 Wemo switches and they have been rock solid. Pair these with the Eve door sensors and you can make some great routines with HomeKit.
Yeah I love my Eve door sensor for automation too. I'm probably going to have to report back about this in a future video. You aren't the only one who's had great reliability from those plugs. Thanks for sharing. (I have the latest generation Eero Pro mesh Wi-Fi at home with great signal coverage, so I don't think my issues are from weak Wi-Fi, but there are a lot of moving pieces here)
I am not particularly a Hue fanboy, however I have 10 movement detectors these all include temp and light level, both exposed to HomeKit, I have found them very accurate. Also I have many eve smart plugs, however these are bluetooth, I changed over to hue (again) smart plugs, again these are rock solid and fast. I have recently due to the times , had time to install a hombridge server, wow what fun, I have now run out of kit to integrate into it, TV’s, weather stations, thermostats etc... most impressive was the ability to integrate a cheap H264 8 channel cctv PVR, all hardware accelerated MPEG in the Raspberry pi.
I've had issues with the second generation wemo switch as well. However, when the connection drops, which hasn't happened in a few months - fingers crossed. All I do is tap the reset switch at the bottom of the switch, which power cycles it, and it is good to go for another few months. Mine are also in direct line of sight from my ceiling mounted access point.
Another user without issues with Wemo. I have several 2nd gen switches, dimmer switches, a three way switch, and several wemo plugs to control light strips or fans. They have been rock solid for me even with HomeKit automation. I have a smart switch connected to my August lock where it would turn on the foyer light at night when the August is unlocked, turn off if the August is locked. Another automation will turn on my ceiling fan (using the standard 2nd gen switch) if the temperature is above a setup. Sorry that you are having trouble with your Wemo setups.
Thanks for sharing! I'm curious, do you have a single router or a mesh wifi network with multiple access points? My going theory is that Eero has trouble on certain kinds of mesh Wi-Fi networks.
Eric Welander I have an Orbi Mesh system with a base unit and two satellites. Main unit is in our basement and a satellite on each floor. We have a 4000 sqft house. The wifi is pretty good throughout the house.
Yep, Lutron has been rock solid. My biggest complaint is the “lutron rooms” have become out of sync with my HomeKit rooms. And when i try to sync it, Lutron has put most of those rooms under “other”. Which drives me insane. IMO, there are too many questions that lutron ask when you add a light (ie. purpose, etc..). Are you aware of a way to ditch all the lutron rooms & just use my HomeKit rooms? I dont see a way to delete a room in Lutron either. Ive had a problem renaming some of light switch b/c it thinks there is a duplicate name (i.e. the same name as HomeKit) so it won[t let me rename some of my switches & its been driving me nuts. With that being said, they are ROCK solid. They never go offline. My top 3 to avoid are the Ecobee light switches (has such potential but they are 2.4 only, always going offline & i can’t tell how many times my basement office switch just cuts on the light & it stays on for hours, i go in the basement after hours & the dang lights are on), the MyQ smart bridge works half the time & like you said the Wemo smart outlets have some issues. .My hue motion sensors do a good job turning off/on my lutron switches, but my hue light strips are just weird on some automation scenes..
I also have had problems with connectivity of my Wemo mini plugs and HomeKit in particular. I have a Netgear Orbi AC3000 mesh router system and I did go into the web app to adjust router settings based on tips I had read in support forums. That has helped with the problem of the Minis getting the dreaded "No Response" label in HomeKit. I did find a comment in this thread that suggested changing there channel on the 2.4 GHz band from Auto to channel 11. That commenter said after making this change their Minis have performed flawlessly. I'm going to give that a try.
Agree. Wemo smart plug is u reliable. Other smart plugs are far better. The garage door opener you reviewed was something I purchased and after several months it became completely u reliable. The Chamberlain / Lift Master Hub and Bridge (while complicated to get into HomeKit) is completely reliable. The Phillips Hue colored bulbs and switches are rock solid. Love them. Thanks for the reviews.
I was surprised to see Wemo plugs on the “do not purchase” list. I have three of them and they are probably the simplest/least fussy smart devices I own. As always, every user experience is different though.
Maybe this depends on the number of devices in your home. I liked the WeMo OK until I started adding more devices, then they became unresponsive & ultimately, unusable. Also, they occasionally would just lose their connection to my WiFi, when all other WiFi devices were just fine. I had to constantly re-pair the devices. I found z-wave to be much more stable. I never had to remove & then re-pair to my network, as I did WeMo WiFi devices. Granted, I wish I had started down a HomeKit compatible path in the beginning, but then my Ring system would be left out. Alexa / Echo Dots do allow me to unify my Ring, dots, and Nest thermostat, but I wish I could do all that with HomeKit. Amazon's system creeps a bit slower, and of course, there are privacy concerns. I’m hopeful that Ring will join the Matter group so that I can do everything through HomeKit in the future.
I have using my WEMO/Belkin 3-way light and the WEMO plugs for a couple of months and have had no issues. My light switch specifically turns on my porch lights at sunset and turns off at sunrise - exactly what I bought it for. The plugs work with SIRI with no connectivity issues even when I change locations
My list of things to stay away from are Hunter Signal fan with HomeKit, Red Cross Blackout with HomeKit and iHome iSP6X. I would also add the Honeywell Lyric as a close runner-up.
Question, What to do when Philips Hue bridge is maxed out and Philips only offers cloud support for one bridge? I have three Philips bridges but only one of them has cloud support because of Philips policy to limit users to one bridge per account.
I do have 4 LIFX downlights, they all have connection problems with HomeKit, but when you open the lifx app, you can control them without any problems. But due to I love my Apple ecosystem, I am gonna sell all of them and get Philips hue even they don’t do a lot of promotions like lifx did lol
I have iHome indoor and outdoor smart plugs. I use them to turn on/off my landscape lights and indoor lights. They have been working great for couple years now. I did have some connectivity issues at first but they went away when I switched to a TP Link deco mesh network
I have in total of 6 Wemo in wall switches with the wemo homekit bridge and haven’t had any issue so far..and of course Lurton is top notch can’t be compared I believe when wemo is half of then price.
I have no issues with the WEMO plugs only if I have 4 or less connected. Once I went up to 7 and 8, I had to restart them and the WEMO bridge. What I really like are the Hue Smart Plugs. Have you reviewed them yet? What do you think of the iConnect outdoor plug? I’ve had some issues and bought it for Christmas lights.
My first attempt was wemo plugs. Amazon sent them all plugged into each other into a padded envelope. They didn’t work after support so I sent them back. I’m sure if they had been packed safely they would have worked. Now everything I have is Philip’s Hue system and everything works great.
Are you sure your problems with Wemo are not self inflicted? I have 6 Wemo switches and 6 Wemo outlet plugs installed. I installed them a few years ago and they're rock solid. I have them all connected to 2.4 Ghz wifi, and they work great. They work with Google Home and Apple Homekit. I really think you should check your install before you bash the product.
I had some major issues getting wemo switches to work. Turned out the problem was my xfinity 2.4ghz WiFi. Using the latest xb7-t. I added an AirPort Extreme just for these and they connected added and stayed on the network. I literally was pulling my hair out with switches and was so happy, and sad, to find the actual problem. I am a a big fan of Ethernet connected bridged though because of this crap. My 50 lutron devices are always rock solid
I think it’s the Eero Mesh that’s the reason these Belkin Wemo smart plugs don’t work. I’ve done everything you’ve done to try and get them to work. Everything else in our apartment works great, but the belkin plugs have basically become paperweights
I’ve had the same problem with Wemo switches. I also have the little Wemo hub. I ended up buying the hub because two of my switches weren’t direct compatible with HomeKit without it. I removed one of my 5 switches and it’s been better, but I still will have an issue on occasion. Most of the time removing power from the hub for 10-20 seconds works, but sometimes I’ll have to unplug the affected plug all together. Such a bummer. I’ve been working toward swapping them out with in-wall switches from iDevices. So far, no problems with those yet, though they are a bit harder to setup.
So many problems with the Wemo Plugs. Every few weeks or so they would be unresponsive. Vocolinc smart plugs, on the other hand have been very reliable.
I have maybe 15 of the first generation Wemo plugs. I've probably had to completely re-program everything from scratch about every 3-4 months almost since the beginning. There was a glorious period of about 7 months where everything was working, but I guess SW engineers just gotta keep SW engineering... Probably going to start switching to Eve or similar soon.
I have problems with my Wemo switches all the time. I won't buy them anymore. My dimmer switch less than a year old died too. Also my Wemo dimmers only dim about 1/2 way on LED's. Very disappointed in them. Wish I could get my money back as I have a number of them.
One to add to the YES list is @idevices switches.. great company located in CT and terrific customer service! I have their in-wall switches throughout my house as well as the outdoor plug. Can't wait to get more!
I had a lot of difficulties with the Wemo plugs. They were not being recognized within Homekit. I have 4 of them and all of them are still in the box as I don't use them... :(
I am having 4 Wemo Plug recently purchase and they works like a charm on my homekit it might be because they are recent or because they use the latest firmware : WeMo_WW_2.00.11565.PVT-OWRT-SNSV2
Im in the process of replacing everything Wemo in my house, I can't stand them. I really wanted to like them but they constantly drop. (to confirm in 2021 - the new gen smart plugs suck too)
Sounds like your wemo switches could be bad? I have had mine for a stair light and I operate them several times a day no issues. Maybe look at replacements and why not get single pole switches if your not using them in a three way config? Also for the plugs are you referring to the ones that come with a HomeKit code or the older versions where you have to firmware update them to get it in the wemo app?
❤️❤️❤️ I really like this compilation but it is missing ( Legrand, Smart Light Switch) in my compilation the number is included. Nr1 Note that these products were ranked “best seller” at the time this article was written. Amazon’s Best Seller list is updated hourly, so for the most current list. ❤️❤️❤️
Question, I’m just starting to set up HomeKit and I’ve decided based on some feedback that I wanna set up an extra iPad that I have to run as the hub . I created a separate iTunes account and I added it to my family account, on the old iPad I was able to turn on the feature use this iPad as the hub, when I go on my original devices to see what hub I have for some reason the hub I created on the old iPad is not showing up, any advice or help will be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼
Surprised the Wemo plugs didnt work for you. I only have two that I got for a super good price used on amazon and they have been fine. Great video though.
Extra avoid. Incipio CommandKit Smart Outlet. Once a week appears “not available” and I have to unplug wait a few seconds and plug again. 5-6 days a week works fine
Hey Dennis, I have a number of smart plug related videos in the works, so I think you'll see a number of options that might work well in the future. Personally I use a lot of TP-Link Kasa plugs connected via Homebridge, but that isn't the most convenient option for a lot of people as it requires Homebridge.
None of my home products are homekit compatible except my ecobee. So I just run Home Assistant and simulate HomeKit support for my devices as if I was running homebridge
Sounds like you have WiFi problems. Considering that all the devices that don’t work for you are WiFi devices and all the ones you recommend are using a bridge. I have those Wemo devices and they are rock solid.
You wouldn't think a relatively new Eero system would be a problem, but I do see that trend as well. I have plenty of other Wi-Fi devices that work without issue though, like lots of TP-Link smart plugs. We'll see...
Eric Welander I’ve seen a number of users on Reddit report problems with HomeKit devices and mesh networks. I’m not sure exactly what might be the problem but it might have something to do with the way the network forwards the packets across the networks. I do not have a mesh network, I use two access points by Meraki.
Great video, very informative. Please do me a favor, repair your walls, OR, use a specific wall to demo your devices, it just drives me crazy when people take the time and effort to make a youtube video, but use a wall that is damaged. LOL

Jason Ong HOOBS is HomeBridge Out Of the Box, which can be a bit of an easier way to get HomeBridge running than installation to a Raspberry Pi, if you don’t have a computer on all the time you want to use as a bridge.
Yeah those Wemo mini smart plugs are awful... I have 3 and they just drop out and reconnect like crazy. I set static IP addresses on each one and had my Mac ping each one and I could see they just drop off the network, reconnect, drop off, reconnect over and over again and I even have one of them line of sight to an access point. Kind of sad when such basic wireless functionality just doesn't work whatsoever.
Thanks for sharing. That's a bummer to hear you're in the same boat. I'm curious...do you have a mesh Wi-Fi network with more than one wireless access point?
This is so funny. My video today is about wireless switches and how limited they are with other HomeKit products. I didn't know the hue dimmer switch could be reassigned to other brands. That's awesome. Another great video Eric. I'm disappointed about Wemo, I met them at CES and they show me their new switch and plug that they should be releasing soon. Hopefully, they will fix these issues cause I've been hearing about issues a lot. BTW: If you leave a comment about the Phillip hue switch in my video, I'll pin it.
If you have wifi connexion issues is coz you need a more powerful router or a mesh network. Lifx works fine. Normal routers support only 32 deviced connected simultaneously. I have that issue years ago
Fully agree on Lifx. I started my smart light journey with Lifx a couple of years ago and ended up, after a ton of frustration and numerous support calls, with an end-to-end Philips Hue setup. My Lifx lights often used to be unresponsive and just stopped working. Hue on the other hand have been rock solid and just works. 👍🏼
I really hate the fact that I’m coming to the same conclusion. The LIFX bulbs are pretty spending and they are so... hit or miss. Really disappointing.
Hi Eric, this is Tim as a Chinese Homekit user, most gadgets of my system are from three Chinese company - Yeelight, Aqara and LifeSmart, they offer a variety of sensors, switchs, lightbulbs and their own apps, which are way cheaper than those brands like lutron, belkin and philips hue. I intergrated them into the home app and they worked well so far.
Thanks for sharing! Yeah there are some great affordable sensors from those three companies. Yeelight, Aqara, and LifeSmart are HomeKit brands I hope to get more familiar with this year.
Wemo is truly the worst. I’ve thrown away all the smart plugs I had, both old style and mini thread ones - about 10. And I’m about to throw away the scene controller. Recommend the Meross power strip and Aqara smart plugs. Cheap and flawless.
i really dont know what the hell you are talking about with Wemo , i have Wemo smart switches and smart plugs through out my home and they are top notch , i had many TP-Link switches and plugs and they are garbage , always dropping connection and terrible to reset and their customer service is a friggin 'joke ! . My Wemo plugs and switches have been way better than TP-Link,s junk !
I just got some Shelly switches, they are not HomeKit compatible by default, it requires to be flashed, and the installation might be hard, but they’re very cheap and incredibly fast, the switch is literally instantaneous with no delay, I haven’t had any connection issues, so, for the price they’re absolutely worth it. Only problem as I mentioned, the installation process.
I totally disagree about his assertion about LIFX. I have over a dozen LIFX lights and love them. They are not perfect, but better than anything I have used. They also are far more reliable to adjust when outside of the network than anything I have tried.
Good stuff yet again Eric! As I’ve mentioned before, we totally agree on the Lutron Casetta in-wall switches. They are SO good. * The advice I’d personally offer to anyone looking to get into the HomeKit - Smart Home game is to ‘bite the bullet’ and pay the premium price for them...they are, without reservation, the best. AND...If you have decided to go the Casetta route, pay the extra $5 (+/-) for the package that includes their Pico Remote. Even if it’s an accessory you don’t think you need, it gives you the capability of an added bit of functionality/convenience that is worth more than it’s cost. Being able to add a ‘3-way’ circuit to a room that isn’t hardwired for one is awesome. Or having a lighting remote on the bedroom nightstand is a convenience that you’ll use more than you’d expect. - The other product that should (arguably, I know your video was focusing on ancillary products) be on the list is the Apple HomePod. In my home, it’s the single most used item for home control...as it’s what the whole family uses to operate most of the other Smart devices. - The Insignia Garage Door controller is another item I’d recommend. Battery life in the door sensor is less than great, but if you can live with that, it is a great product. Super helpful. Just my $0.02. Thanks for the video!
Thanks as always for your $0.02 and support Bradley! Unfortunately Insignia shut down and no longer sells that garage door opener. 😢 Great advice on Lutron and I agree I love my HomePod. We’ll have to see what Apple does in the HomePod space this year.
TJ Virgil - if you don’t mind swapping it’s battery (roughly) every 2-3 months, the answer is yes. Our garage door gets ‘normal’ use (4-6 cycles per day), and I’m replacing the battery as often as mentioned above. It’s an inconvenience that I find worth it, as I can just check my Home App to verify the door is closed - rather than having to go back home.
Jason Ong - As much as I want to see the Apple ecosystem/AppleTV get better...part of me will be a little sad - as I just purchased another AppleTV 4K box. I’ll be sad if there is some new hotness right after I bought one.
My question to people who enjoy La Croix is: have you ever tried any other drinks?! Great channel Eric! We're just starting out with HomeKit for our new house. Your content has been invaluable for our decision making. Subbed. Thanks!
Great video! I have been personally switching my home over to all HomeKit compatible devices, coming from an Amazon Echo/Alexa setup. I've been using the Wemo plugs for about 2 years now, and have only had a couple connectivity issues. Once I bought a new router (Samsung's SmartThings Wifi), this seemed to have gone away and haven't had any issues. (knock on wood). I did recently purchase the Wemo 3-way switches and so far have not had an issue, but it's only been about 45 days since they've been installed. Philips Hue on the other hand (which I have about 6 accessories) has been very reliable and very much recommend. Kind of $$$ to get started, but the reliability is worth it. Keep up the awesome videos!
Thanks Brendon! So it sounds like you use a single router? I have a theory that Wemo products might struggle with certain mesh Wi-Fi networks that have multiple access points in range. That's great to hear Wemo plugs and switches are working well for you. You aren't the only one to mention that either 😀 I agree Hue stuff is expensive, but I tend to get good performance from that investment IMO.
Eric Welander I do indeed use a single access point setup at the moment. I went with the SmartThings WiFi for the ability to expand when needed. I’ll be sure to keep a watch out for issues when that happens. Hopefully Wemo will be able to address some of the issues by then. 😋. And yeah, I think of Philips Hue like I do Apple, it costs more but generally they are more reliable and seamless.
zsqduke Absolutely, those are two reliable protocols but zwave is licensed out and more restricted on Apple HomeKit compatibility. Zigbee does have a little more presence but have to have a hub. I do have about three Zigbee bulbs that I connect to SmarThings then use Hoobs to integrate those into HomeKit. It’s just not as reliable so those bulbs go in places I don’t care too much about.
Hi Eric, Are you thinking the connection issue with LIFX can have been effected by running on eero network? I have no problems with my LIFX Mini day & dusk and they have been in for a month now but I'm consider to purchase some eero pro's to run my Homekit smart home.
I bought the Leviton dimmers and switches and endured their disconnect issues until they figured out the firmware last year. Now they work flawlessly. The important thing to remember is that your router issues “leases” to every Wi-Fi device and they expire from 30 to 60 days. If your Wi-Fi device doesn’t have a connect and reconnect feature like Leviton FINALLY enabled, you will face disconnect issues. It also helps to remember that if you don’t have a Strong mesh system, you will also have issues. To top it off if your in wall switch housing is made out of metal, it will limit the connection as well.
I had “Chamberlain MyQ” garage door opener for around a year. It required a bridge. The system was problematic at best from day one. I went through the troubleshooting recommendations. Nothing improved. Six weeks ago I got a “HomeKit friendly” Meross garage door opener. It has been flawless and was $39.95 on a Prime Day sale. It’s a keeper!
Thanks for the video! I love your stuff. Super interesting though, as those WEMO plugs have been one of the most solid parts of my HomeKit ecosystem. I’ve had some connection issues with the Wemo dimmers, and one was even replaced by the company. Every home and WiFi has its own + and - I guess? I need to check out the Lutron stuff. They sound great. Thanks as always!
Thanks Jason! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying my videos. That is also great your Belkin plugs are working well for you...and that Belkin replaced a switch for you. Yeah I highly recommend Lutron for the next time you're in the market for smart switches.
For me, the Leviton switches have been a nightmare. I’ve used them in 3 locations in my house, with 2 different routers. They constantly lose connection.
My Experience with the WeMo mini plugs has caused me to rip my hair out. So remove them and a few weeks later after removing my entire HomeKit system and unregistered everything. Hooked them back up and they now have been perfect after firmware updates. Like you said… just a firmware update away. I have 6 for lamps. Thanks for your videos… :)
Been using Wemo since before HomeKit support and have had zero problems. The HomeKit support was just the icing on the cake for me. I respectfully disagree with your review. The Wemos have been much more reliable the the iHome control ones that I had especially after a power outage. I have 9 of them in my setup and have no problems.
