I really enjoy learning about and trying out new smart home products, but I am particularly excited about this one. Functioning mainly as a dimmer switch for the lights in your home, the WeMo Smart Dimmer allows for remote or manual control of lighting, and will even let you schedule lights to turn on to the exact brightness level desired, exactly when you want them to.

Have them turn on at sunrise, turn down a bit at mid day and make them softer or brighter in the evening. You can even set them so there will be just the right glow in the middle of the night, should you need to get up and use the restroom, without the lights bothering you while you sleep. That’s only part of what this smart dimmer can do though.

Additionally, it is going to allow you to program it with other WeMo products, so that various actions are triggered when the button itself is held down for two seconds or longer (things like all appliances being turned off when leaving the house). Not to mention, it is IFTTT compatible with Amazon Echo, Google Home and Nest, meaning the possible “recipes” you can create using the WeMo Smart Dimmer are only limited by your imagination.
