WemoLEDs for Android
Superb. Unlike the official WeMo app, it works. Every time. When the WeMo app faffs around trying to find stuff, can't see devices and crashes constantly, this app is completely reliable. Well worth the money, as are the associated apps.
Does what it says, great support, ad free, small footprint, modest permissions
Everything the official wemo app should have been but isn't! Despite registered on my link, my clear Osram CLA 60 bulbs wouldn't appear on its devices list. They appear and are controllable on Mike's app, though! Great Stuff!
Amazing bit of software.
Works faster than the wemo.
Great for controlling Wemo LEDS when at home. However I do need Belkin Wemo app when travelling. For example I recently needed to monitor and control Wemo LEDS in my home in the UK while in Australia. Needed to provide extra illumination for video surveillance when my intruder alarm activated (false alarm fortunately). I am just making a case for needing remote control.
This is a great app use it daily on my wall mounted tablets around the house
Perfect for easily controlling all wemo devices without having to go into the clunky app from belkin. Also have the wemo home app this also works well. Sent an email to Mike with an idea I had and a few days later and it was done. Never experienced such good service from a app creator. Would give it 6 stars if it was possible.
Very quick to answer queries by email. This app is so much better than the official app.
Finds and controls bulbs only. Needa to be combined with another app for whole home control
Problem solved. I don't understand why this app by Mike P works while the official Belkin app doesn't. They really need to buy it from him, or contract him or something. Belkin blows, Mike P should be president.

Would you be able to make an app for the samsung gear S2? It would make using this app alot more simple and my phone is not always in my hand to turn on the light..but my watch is :)
The developer is super responsive, and I really appreciate that. This app is much better than Belkin's!
*Edit* it fixed itself afterwards and a day or 2... no idea why but works fine now. Upped my stars to 4* Since the latest update it no longer finds my bulbs or my wemo link. The official wemo app is still syncing fine so not sure why this isn't finding them anymore....
The Belkin WEMO app takes ages to find the hub and attached bulbs. This app opens and connects in less than a second. All features of Belkin App in less than 1/4 of the time.
The basic settings are no better than wemo belkin app. The transition does not work for me. Also, the wemo-Scense action does not work(action apply fails). Any help to resolve these issues is appreciated.
I'm unable to control groups of lightbulbs trough "send intents" in Tasker. When using the ID of one lightbulb it works fine. Any suggestions? Otherwise I'm happy with this app. :-) Edit: thanks for the fast reply. Casting the UDN to a string in Tasker solved my issue. Here, have 5 stars. :-)
Blows the stock app away. Does everything the stock app promises except it actually works and does more. Love this for my fledgling home automation. Worth the money.

So much better then official app. Widgets and presets awesome.

I opened the app, the title had no relevance to this app * Java socket errors * Requires a fixed IP * Complex to use
Been using for awhile now and love it works great sorry for earlier post
If you have wemo products, get this. It's so much better than the wemo app. The recent update fixed a few small issues to make this app perfect!
I've only gotten it to work from my home Wifi. Any suggestions?
It works it really works but the reason for four stars and not five is for lack of control over other wemo devices such as the switch or the outlet if those were to be added this would be a prefect *UPDATE* Widget use to work but now force closing every time it is pressed the app itself does the very same and yes I have it fully updated
It won't let me control any devices because it keeps telling me there's a licence issue and to make sure I'm online I know I'm online because I'm posting from the same device can I either have a refund or a fix?
After the update, the app works great. Hopefully as many times as Belkin updates their Firmware, we wont have crashes.
After last update everything works fine and I can highly recommend this app as alternative for official one.
The wemo app never could find my bulbs so I went out on a limb and bought this app and what do you know they both work now. The wemo app still doesn't see them. I have found your app mentioned as being good but no one said anything about using it when wemo doesn't find the bulbs do yourself a favor and buy this app.
This update brings tons of functionality to LEDs. Presets are great! It would be great to integrate presets for LEDs into scenes.

Can anyone tell me why using Mike's apps, Google keeps telling me my free time is almost up and billing will begin? Other than that, the app works as advertised and much better than the Belkin app. Other than the fact that I personally prefer a metal type look to my apps, Mikes more organic approach is not to my taste... I'm sure Mike will Lose sleep over that. Overall Mike has done a great service developing WeMo apps for WeMo users. He also does an excellent job of explaining every aspect in help

It looks really promising. It seems to be a bit unstable in Android 5.0 on the LG G3, only managed to push the buttons a few times until it stopped working, had to reboot the phone to get it back. Also the buttons seem to be little confused about if the LEDs are really on or off. Hoping for more stability in future updates and also to be able to manually set IP/port so I can control it outside my network, like I can with the WeMo widget.

Perfect! Exactly what I needed to take over from the crappy official wemo app!
