Automate your WeMo Smart Plug integrations

With IFTTT and the WeMo Smart Plug, you can effortlessly automate your home. Control your devices from anywhere, schedule them to turn on or off based on events, and create custom routines that fit your lifestyle.

Create your own WeMo Smart Plug workflow
