IIRC 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.
