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.

I lo the way this smart plug shows you how to save money. It is a great technology.
This is just what we need. It get dark quickly here. I need it to turn the lights on.
It’s fantastic! We’ve been using it for lights, our electric fireplace, and other things. I really like that it will deter burglaries if thieves are watching your house when they think you’re not at home. We can turn the lights on/off while on vacation and do it at different times throughout the night. LOVE that feature! Plus, winter is coming & it will be getting dark at 4:45…we can preschedule our lights to come on so that we’re not walking into a dark house.
I just said : Alexa, turn off the light. And she did. It is so fun. I got my Echo spot and KMC 3 Pack Wi-Fi Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring, Compatible with Amazon Alexa on Amazon Prime day for a very good price. I can control the lights with my phone too.
This is really amazing technology. I would like to have one of these so I can turn on the lights in different parts of the house when I am not home so it looks like someone is home for safety reasons.
