- stingrae 9y agotplink and belkin wemo both make WiFi switches and plugs.
- mrb 9y agoIIRC the Belkin Wemo plug runs a full-blown Linux OS. Disgustingly over-engineered! Complex software & hardware means less reliability. A remotely controlled plug should be running tens of kB of firmware, at most, and that includes crypto libraries. It shouldn't be running the megabytes of code that an embedded Linux OS represents. Yuck.
