Which Wemo products support Apple's HomeKit?
The Wemo line is home to some of the best smart plugs for HomeKit and more, but unfortunately, it was a little late getting to the HomeKit party. When it finally arrived, HomeKit required a separate smart bridge and didn't support all Wemo products. Since then, HomeKit is now built into the latest accessories. However, there are still some of those older devices lingering around, which can make things confusing. Don't worry though, we have got it all sorted out with all of the HomeKit compatible Wemo products that you can buy today.
Small and smart
The latest Wemo Smart Plug holds the crown as being the smallest HomeKit-enabled smart plug on the market. This tiny plug makes anything instantly smart so that you can automate your coffee maker, desk fan, or bedside lamps in seconds with a scan of the HomeKit pairing code. The small size lets you squeeze two into a standard outlet, enabling even more automation potential.
Slim design
The second-generation Wemo Mini Smart Plug is another incredibly tiny solution that is HomeKit compatible right out of the box without the need for a hub. Plus, like the latest Wemo smart plug, you can fit two of them into the same outlet, making managing your devices much more convenient.
Outdoor power
Belkin's Wemo Smart Outdoor Plug — one of our picks for best HomeKit Outdoor Smart Plugs, brings convenient controls to the great outdoors with a rugged weather-resistant design. The Wemo Outdoor Plug features two smart outlets that you can toggle simultaneously through the Home app — all you need is a strong Wi-Fi signal outside of your home.
Dim the lights
The Wemo Wi-Fi Smart Dimmer Switch can dim the lights on an automated schedule, in just a few taps of your phone, or with a command of your voice with Siri. This dimmer has a built-in night light making it easy to find in the darkest of rooms, and the center section of the switch is touch-sensitive. With touch controls, you can slide your finger up and down to set the mood.
Lighting control
After installation, you can use this smart light switch to control all of the lights in a room, setting schedules and timers. Be careful, though, as there are two versions of the Wemo Light Switch, one of which requires the smart bridge. To ensure that you are getting the HomeKit model, look for the "Works with Apple HomeKit" logo on the box, or use one of the links below.
Three's a crowd
If you have an overhead light that turns on or off with two light switches, you need a 3-way capable smart switch to add the connected home goodies. The Wemo 3-Way Smart Light Switch fits the bill in this situation, and it is sold in both single and double packs. The handy bundle pack makes it easy to add the smarts, and it provides a consistent appearance and experience with both switches sporting the same styling.
Thready to go
The Wemo Stage offers wire-free remote controls for your HomeKit accessories and scenes. Wemo's Stage remote mounts either on the wall alongside your light switches, or you can keep it on the nightstand for easy access. This remote is also Thread-ready, allowing it to take advantage of faster response times and greater range if you have a HomePod mini in your home.
Control the rest
The Wemo Bridge brings HomeKit to older discontinued smart devices like the Smart Light Switch, Insight Smart Plug, and Wemo Motion Sensor. If you have some of these older accessories installed around your home, and you don't want the hassle of replacing it with the latest version, then the Wemo Bridge is the way to go.
HomeKit compatible Wemo products for almost any need
Wemo is one of the top brands in smart home accessories, and its products are some of the best HomeKit light switches and dimmer switches around. If you're just getting started with home automation or smart home control, pick up the Wemo Smart Plug to use with something like a lamp. It's a great way to get started with home automation, and you can quickly build out your smart home from there.
Are you looking to add Siri and dimming to your home's lighting? Then the Wemo Wi-Fi Smart Dimmer is the one for you. This slick dimmer switch has a touchpad in the center that allows for dimming controls via a slide of your finger. This switch also has a handy nightlight, making it easy to find in the dark.
