SwitchPilot for Wemo

SwitchPilot brings local control to compatible Wemo and Kasa plugs, switches, and dimmers. On supported Wemo devices, create schedules, auto-off timers, motion rules, long-press actions, and scheduled restarts that run on the devices themselves, even when the app is closed or your phone is away.

Built after Wemo's smart-home cloud was discontinued, SwitchPilot exists for a simple reason: the hardware on your walls still works. The service behind it went away, but the silicon didn't.

WHY SWITCHPILOT

• Direct connections. Wemo and Kasa commands travel over your home Wi-Fi instead of making a cloud round-trip. Local switching works during an internet outage while your Wi-Fi remains running.
• One place to manage rules. Create, edit, enable, disable, and delete supported routines from the Rules tab.
• No SwitchPilot account required. Discover compatible devices and start using them without registering for another service.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Create five types of local rules on supported Wemo devices:

• Schedules. Turn devices on or off at chosen times and on selected days.
• Auto-off. Turn a device off after a chosen duration. Give a hot-water recirculator a five-minute timer or keep a light from staying on all night.
• Motion. Turn on compatible Wemo devices when a Wemo Motion sensor detects movement, with optional shutoff after motion stops.
• Long-press automations. Hold a supported Wemo wall switch to control other Wemo devices. Switch several lights together from one physical button.
• Restart. Schedule equipment to turn off briefly and back on automatically. Give a Wi-Fi router or streaming box a regular restart.

Schedules are also supported on compatible Kasa devices.

You can also:

• Discover devices automatically or add one manually by IP address.
• Refresh devices to check their reported state.
• Organize switches into groups such as Living Room or Outdoor, and control a whole group at once.
• Rename supported devices, reorder groups, and collapse sections to keep your dashboard tidy.
• Arrange your most-used switches in Favorites. That order follows you to Apple Watch and Favorites widgets.
• Switch Wemos from Apple Watch. Browse Favorites or switches by room; your nearby iPhone handles the connection, even when locked.
• See Wemo status in Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy widgets. On iOS 17 or later, tap a Home Screen tile to switch it.
• Use Siri and Shortcuts to turn supported switches on or off, toggle them, or get their state, including while SwitchPilot is closed.
• Retrieve a compatible Wemo's setup code and add it to Apple Home.
• Control supported Cync lights.
• See live switch updates and your current Wi-Fi network on the Dashboard.
• Choose whether SwitchPilot opens on Dashboard or Favorites.
• Use SwitchPilot on a Mac with Apple silicon.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Device names, groups, and your home layout are stored on your phone.

Cync support is optional and uses a Cync account, GE's service, and an internet connection.

WHO IT'S FOR

• People who've moved newer gear to another ecosystem but still have older Wemo or Kasa devices to manage.
• Households with switches spread across several rooms and routines to manage together.
• Anyone adding automation to existing lights, pumps, fans, or other switched equipment.

Keep your switches. Keep your routines. Keep control.
