Belkin WeMo Home Automation Switch

At around £40, this natty little WeMo switch from the Belkin stable is perfect if you’re looking to do your bit for the environment, cut down on energy usage and trim those over-infl ated electricity bills you keep getting. What is it?

Well, the WeMo Switch effectively allows you to take control of the electronics in your home by switching them on or off using your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. So, if you’re out and about somewhere, you can turn things off if you’ve forgotten to do it on the way out the door, and you’ll start making savings instantly.

The WeMo works by calling on the services of your home Wi-Fi network, while the mobile network capacity gives you that added freedom to make adjustments from anywhere. There’s also a free app that lets you get the best from the features, while the device itself can be set up within minutes. Adding to the appeal is the stylish design and robust build quality that we’ve come to expect from Belkin.
