Tech Tools: Belkin WeMo Switch connected plug a smart choice

Ever been halfway down the road and thought: “I wonder if I switched that off?” Or had an appliance plugged in an awkward place and wished you didn’t have to contort yourself to get at the plug?

Belkin’s WeMo Switch can help. The connected plug allows you to log in from outside the home and make sure that it’s switched off – and therefore whatever you’ve plugged into it is also turned off.

You can set schedules for it, which is handy for timing lights or appliances. It works through an app and your wifi network which means you can access it remotely. It's part of Belkin's WeMo system that links in with lights and other sensors to make your home "smarter". harveynorman.ie
