Once we received the Belkin WeMo Insight Smart Plug my husband read the instructions and then download the free App. It took him about 5 minutes as it is a super-easy process.
We do a lot of traveling and are always on-the-go. We like using our new Belkin WeMo Insight Smart Plug to control the lighting in our living room and/or our family room. When we’re not home we can turn the lights on/off, we can schedule it to come on and go off during certain times of the night and so forth. We can do all of this from our smartphone and/or tablet.
During the wintertime it will be completely dark outside around 5 PM in the evening with the sun not coming up until around 7: 20 AM. My husband gets home from work around 5:45 PM and once winter arrives, we’ll be syncing up the living room light to automatically come on around 5:20 every night, so that he’s not walking into a dark house. Our front door opens up into the living room, so we think this is an awesome use for it. We’ll also be using it when we travel domestically and abroad.
