Can I set a rule that if the Wemo loses connectivity to the router that it will automatically turns itself off and then back on?

You need the router to be up and running at all times. This was discussed as just one more problem with the WeMo. I would not buy one, however the idea is neat.

I don't think so. It will reset itself during a power failure (or being unplugged) back to the state it was in when it lost power.

You can set a rule such as 'Turn off at 10PM" or you can use the iPhone app to turn it off (or on). I was in Mexico and able to turn lights on and off (letting the dog know we were watching). The router connection operates like a secured Wifi connection. When the router is present the devices IP knows the wifi is present.

Thanks. guys. The WeMo devices should be online all the time so you can control, connect or make additional rules.

I think you can just use the regular timer for the router purpose (i.e. turn of at 10pm daily and turn on at 10.05pm daily..)

Sometimes I need to reboot from the modem and reset the router, turn off and on the computer at the same time in order for the wireless oriented signal to match.

once its set up on your wifiit can be turned off, and will find your wifi again when turned back on

The device beeps if it loses the connection. The mobile device will do the same.

You can turn off the WiFi connectivity if that's what you mean. There's a button on the side.

@ John S.: Try turning off router for one minute then turn back on. Sometimes this is a cure.

In my case, the wifi router is at the 1st floor. The WeMo is located at the 2nd floor. I did not see any connectivity issue yet.

The Wemo does not need a line of sight with the router as it is a wifi receiver so as long as your wifi signal is with in range there will be no issue. You then can control the device over 3g or 4g or wifi from your iphone. I use mine to conrol my coffee machine. I have preprogrammed start and stop times for specific days of the week and sometimes I just click it on as soon as I wake. I am loving the device!

Yes, there seem to be some problem with it. Sometimes, I have to switch off - switch on WiFI to reconnect.

I just turn it off when I leave the car, and on when I get back in the car. It says 'connected" and you are good to go!

I don't think so. You control it from your iPhone/iPad. You could set an alarm on either of those and then turn on the Wemo

Yes! Set it for 1 min. When it goes off, it automatically resets back to 1 min.

I have not had a power failure yet but once power comes on, modem and wireless router will reset automatically. Although computers and smartphones are setup to automatically connect to wireless routers, on rare occasions they do require operator intervention. I would imagine the cyberstat would behave in the same way.

it doesn't matter, you are controlling the wemo device, not what you have plugged into it. I have a coffee pot on one and a CCTV on the other one.

There sure is! Simple setting when you log into the router's software. I turned mine off at night as well. Great router!

It links into your existing Wi-Fi, so wherever you have a connection it will work. I have the router in the 2nd floor with the Wemo switch on the first. No problem. Since you are not downloading or moving around with the switch a minimal connection should be enough.If you need you can increase or transfer the router signal via a repeater or other extension methods, electrical system.

Mine sometimes have the same problem. I turn it off for like 30 seconds then back on. If that don't work I turn off the Wi-Fi setting then back on. Sometimes you might have to restart your router tho. Hope this helps
