Belkin adds a smart(er) switch to its home automation portfolio-- the WeMo Insight Switch, a wifi-enabled number allowing customers to turn devices on or off, program custom notifications and remotely change device status.
In other words the Insight Switch is an updated, smaller version of the 2012 Home Control Switch. Like the previous model it connects to the internet via home wifi network, and provides full control via Android or iOS app.
An IFTTT.com channel provides users with a simple means of brewing up "recipes" providing additional functionality, such as switching on a heater when one wakes up or turning off a device after a certain amount of time.
A new capability is energy consumption monitoring-- the smartphone app shows just how much power a connected device sips on a monthly basis.
The WeMo Insight Switch is available now
