BEWARE!!!. . There is an issue that has been the case for months and Belkin/WeMo knows about it. The dimmers specifically are NOT working with HomeKit and the issue has not been resolved yet! I have had multiple contacts with Belkin Customer service with no results yet. The problem is if you buy and they do not have the issue resolved before your return window expires, Belkin will not process a return for the switches. The manufacture warranty is supposed to represent them standing behind their product, but if the issue is never resolved, then the product was sold in bad faith and they will only replace the switch, which means you will have a brand new switch that does not work with HomeKit still! I used to think that Belkin was a strong brand that would stand behind their product, but that is CLEARLY not the case. The clock is ticking and my return window is closing, and if the issue is not resolved before then, I will most definitely be returning all 4 switches I purchased, and looking for alternatives to out fit my homes, and the homes of my clients.
UPDATE!
After several conversations on the phone, I happened to try again to link my switches with HomeKit, and they worked as expected. My only complaint is that I spoke with several people and made it clear that I wanted to be updated when the problem was resolved, and that I didn't want to have to call periodically to check on the status, consuming more of my time than I though was necessary. Thankfully, I was trying to link them with HomeKit about once a week, so luckily I was able to learn that the problem was fixed, but a call or email would have been nice. Either way, I gave it 4 stars because it is working, but the long press feature in the WeMo app is not replicated in the HomeKit App. It would be nice to use that trigger in the HomeKit app for automations.

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2017
This review is for the Wemo Dimmer Wi-Fi Light Switch.So far I'm impressed. It's a very nice switch and works great with my LED bulbs although I did replace some bulbs that made a slight buzzing sound when dimmed with an older model of the same bulb that didn't have a buzzing issue.I didn't run into any major problems in setup, but was confused at the instructions that said the light was suppose to be flashing blue or something for setup mode. It wasn't flashing anything but the switch was still in setup mode because the WiFi networks were there.The Wemo app lets you choose the type of bulb these will be running and set a dimming range so that the lights won't flicker. Pretty slick.I set up a routine in Alexa to turn on the kitchen lights at a dimmed level when I say "Alexa, night mode". I like the subdued (dimmed) lighting at night.I wish there was a nightlight mode so that you could turn on the bottom part of the switch that lights up and keep it on, perhaps at a dimmed level.This dimming switch it quite expensive but so far I'd say it's worth the extra cost.I'll update this review if anything changes.UPDATE 2018-01-04: Downrating to 4 stars because the switches stopped responding and disappeared from the WeMo app. I wasted time troubleshooting and having to reboot the switches. Turning off the light then holding down the LED bar for 2-5 seconds seemed to do the trick after I spent time researching and trying other things.UPDATE 2018-07-08: My wife does not want the lights to dim so you'd think something as simple as just turning off the dimming feature would be easy, right? Well, nope... first, I couldn't disable the dimming feature or change the bulb type (to change the dim range) with the WeMo iOS app but on Android there is the option to change the bulb type. After I figured that out then I spend maybe 15 to 20 minutes trying to just turn off the dimming feature. Because there is not simple option to do this, I had to mess with the dimming settings to try to adjust the dim range. It ended up being a big waste of time with the lousy interface but I eventually managed to set the dim range to maybe 80%-100%. Not really what I wanted but seems to work well enough, but it shouldn't be this time consuming and difficult. Downrating to 3 stars.UPDATE 2022-07-07: The switches have been working better lately but I am not happy that they are so warm to the touch. It makes me think they must be wasting power because they are generating heat. They're not hot, but definitely warm... which is not good, especially nowadays with much higher electricity costs.
