TL;DR: Using Thread technology, you can connect 250+ Apple HomeKit-compatible devices to the Belkin Wemo Smart Plugs and control each one from your phone; get a three-pack of these smart plugs for only $69.99 (reg. $119.97).
Smart home tech has come a long way from timer outlets, microwaves you can text, and lights you turn on/off by clapping. Now, smart plugs actually connect wirelessly (via Bluetooth or Thread) to other devices for more seamless control. That means you can set schedules, make rules, or just enjoy controlling a room full of devices from your phone. All it takes are a few smart plugs around the house.
The Belkin Wemo Smart Plug controls more than just the devices plugged into it. This Apple HomeKit compatible smart plug helps connect your whole smart home, and a three-pack is only $69.99 (reg. $119.97).
The Wemo WSP100 looks simple, but it has a lot going for it that other smart plugs simply can't match. First, it uses new Thread technology to wirelessly connect to a lot of different compatible devices. So you aren't limited just to the devices you can plug in.
The mesh network can support over 250 devices, so it'd take a pretty hefty power strip to match this smart plug. (And please never plug 250 devices into a single power strip!).
Already looking around the house for devices you can connect? Remember, these plugs only work with Apple HomeKit. They need iOS or MacOS devices along with an Apple Home Hub or Thread-compatible hub to operate. It might sound intimidating if you're still new to smart home tech, but in practice there are only a few boxes to check
Make sure you:
Have an Apple device like an iPhone, iPad, or Mac computer
Have an Apple Home Hub device (Apple TV, HomePod, or iPad)
Don't buy things that don't fit the power limitations. This one's power specs are 120V, 15A input, and 1800W at 60 Hz output.
Check new devices for Apple HomeKit compatibility on the box.
Put your whole home on tap with a refreshing improvement over standard smart plugs.
Get a three-pack of Belkin Wemo Smart Plugs for $69.99. Single packs start at just $29.99 (reg. $39.99).
