Been checking online and saw quite a bit of info for Belkin’s wemo light switch belkin.com, looks pretty cool, what’s the difference versus switches from Simply Automated?

Belkin WeMo enables one to use wifi to control lighting, wifi dependent, consumer grade components. Simply Automated anywhere switches used by electricians uses powerful powerline technology not wifi dependent a simple solution for 3 or 4 way applications no programming.
Good point @Stewart Austin. I tried a Belkin WeMo system and it worked ok as long as the stuff wasn’t too far from my wifi router. My house isn’t that large, but when you rely on wifi, every wall, every cordless phone, even your neighbors wifi networks can interfere. Just another level of complexity to deal with. I found the Simply Automated products much more stable.
