BestBuy.com - Wemo Wifi Dimmer Switch for $50
Wemo Dimmer Light Switch with built-in Wifi for
$50. Normally $80.
Also,
Amazon just
matched Best Buy's deal.
Requires an electrician to install, because there is a risk of electrical shock and harm when touching electrical wires. Call an electrician if you are unsure how to safely replace a light switch.
Unlike lightpads by Lutron, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Insteon, no special wifi router is required. Works with a regular wifi router (or Wireless Access Point).
The Wemo does not support 3-way lighting. A more expensive
Plum Lightpad supports 3-way configurations, also works with Alexa and Google Voice, works with regular Wifi routers as well, and glows in the dark when someone is nearby.
Why smart lightpads are useful?
- Install in your bedroom along with a Google Voice or Amazon Alexa, then you can say, "turn off the bedroom light" without getting out of bed.
- Install throughout your home, use the included app (or voice control speaker), and turn all lights on/off without having to walk to each light switch.
