Review: Belkin Wemo Mini Smart Plug

Technology offers plenty of ways to smartify your home. Some prefer the DIY approach—cobbling together an array of NFC antennae and some Arduino boards to make the coffee maker deliver a fresh, hot cup at sunrise—but that’s a giant pain in the ass. Turn your lights on and off from anywhere on Earth---cool huh? Breezy set-up. Simple design. The Wemo app is delightful to use. Bark at Alexa or Google to toggle power. Connects to dozens of internet services through IFTTT.
