🛒 Wemo Stage: belkin.evyy.net/NK9MNP ▶️ SUBSCRIBE to Justin_tech: https://www.youtube.com/justintechie Today I’m checking out the Wemo Stage smart home remote for Homekit. With this smart switch you can control to 6 scenes or Homekit devices. While it sounds great on paper I found lots of issues with it’s Bluetooth connection and build. It promises future support of Thread which may change some of my issues. Will you pick one up?

About This Video

In this video I’m testing the Wemo Stage Remote (aka the Wemo Stage smart switch) as a HomeKit scene/controller. On paper it’s a really slick idea: a small wall-mountable remote that can trigger up to 6 HomeKit scenes or devices, so you can do quick “movie time,” “goodnight,” or lighting presets without yelling at Siri (because… we’ve all been there). I walk through what’s included, how the setup goes, and how it’s meant to fit into a HomeKit smart home. But after actually living with it, I ran into a bunch of frustrations—mainly around the Bluetooth connection and the overall build quality/feel. The big “maybe” here is Thread: Wemo promises future Thread support, and if that actually lands and works well, it could fix a lot of what annoyed me during testing. Until then, I’m a bit torn: the concept is great, but the reliability issues make it hard for me to confidently recommend if you need something rock-solid today.
