Make your life easier by installing lights that automatically turn on when you walk into the room.

What all this adds up to is a cost-effective and robust smart lighting system. And that’s not the only good news. Wemo smart lights don’t need a hub which dramatically lowers the price to get started with your home’s smart lighting.
Wemo smart light dimmer switches are available in the UK from eBay or directly from the Belkin Wemo website. So remember to add post and packaging costs on top of the displayed price. You should be looking to pay around £50 - £60 in total.
Wemo Wi-Fi Smart Light Switches do not look like a typical light switch. The sleek white plastic faceplate sports a snazzy vertically elongated groove with a touch button at the bottom which glows when the switch is in operation. The switches are beautiful in their simplicity.
Thanks to the three-way circuity, Wemo Wi-Fi Smart Light Switches are also fairly easy to install. They don’t require any screws for starters. All wires are coloured and connect with their respective coloured wires. Genius! Just clip-on faceplate but make sure you have a neutral wire.

Patchy WiFi’s can hinder the responsiveness of smart lighting solutions, of course, and without a hub, the Wemo WiFi Smart Light Switches can lose their dimmer effect, get stuck in a loop and have security issues. Wemo devices are not individually password protected! The alarm bells just went off…
Whilst Wemo WiFi smart light switches are an affordable price and an eye-catching design, there are better options on the market. Check out our other smart light switch reviews in the smart lighting section.
