Thank you for the information Ben. I just got my Netatmo set back up in ST a bit after that post. I only have one Wemo in ST and one unopen which I’ve thought about returning to Amazon (they had a sale) but a bit more reliability with it would be nice. Looks like more people then I use it around ST.
In regards to Wemo: It’s hard for us to make a product that is already questionably reliable better just by adding SmartThings into the mix.
@slagle @Ben, I will agree that Wemo isn’t the best HA product on the market but I still have to disagree with your statements. I have their light switch and outside of one incident it has been rock solid. I think we can all admit that people here have had more than one incident with ST. The only issue I’m having with Wemo, currently, is its integration with ST which has been far less reliable than the light switch itself and the Wemo app has been. This has just been my experience with just this one light switch, the Wemo app and ST integration of it, others experiences may vary. The issues I’ve had is updating the ST app of the switch’s status and controlling the switch which ST has been having issues with other products (can anyone say hue). If Wemo is going to stay part of ST then it deserves the same considerations as everything else no matter what someone’s personal feelings are towards it. If you are going to try and fix hue then try and fix Wemo otherwise remove it and stop advertising it works with ST. One more side note, Amazon choose Wemo along with hue as the first HA products the Echo would control.
Typically these choices have to do with the size of the user base and not the quality of the product itself. Its why a lot of products come out on iOS / Android first, then Windows.
@ben So what is nearly? I’m curious when I can have control of my hue lights again through ST (motion, minimote, etc.).
@sidjohn1 Yes, I understand that but the user base probably wouldn’t be large enough for Amazon to pick them along with hue as one of the first ‘Connected Home’ devices on Amazon’s Echo platform if they were garbage. User base a lot of the time does have to do with quality otherwise there wouldn’t be much of a user base.
