Wemo Launches New Stage Scene Controller Wireless HomeKit Remote

Belkin's Wemo brand today announced the launch of the Wemo Stage Scene Controller, a wireless remote control that allows HomeKit users to manage and control their various ‌HomeKit‌ scenes.

The Wemo Stage works with up to six ‌HomeKit‌ scenes, with each scene activated through long and short press functions. ‌HomeKit‌ scenes can be set up to activate multiple ‌HomeKit‌ products, and are useful for changing the lights at night, adjusting temperature when coming home from work, and more.

There's a self-adhesive faceplate included with the Wemo Stage that allows it to be mounted in a convenient location, and a magnetic slot allows the controller to click into place so it can function as either a replacement wall switch or a portable remote control. Belkin says the Wemo Stage is compatible with standard Decora faceplates. The Wemo Stage connects to ‌HomeKit‌ over Bluetooth, and it also has Thread support to improve connectivity with other Thread devices. There is no hub required.

Belkin has a whole lineup of other HomeKit-enabled Wemo products, including the WiFi Smart Plug, Smart Light Switch, Smart Dimmer, and more.

The Wemo Stage Scene Controller can be purchased from the Belkin website for $49.99.

Another one for me is guest access. When someone stays at my house, I need a simple way for them to turn the lights on and off without having to give them a crash course on how to talk to a speaker and ask it to turn the lights on, paired with night time use (not making extra noise in the house to turn a light on), this would be useful.
That’s the beauty of the smart home…”Sorry, you can’t stay at my place. You wouldn’t understand the lights.” 😆

Seems a little pricey for a remote. I can get the Philips hue remote with four buttons for $25. Sure it needs a hub, but it's probably one a lot of people have anyways. Also this runs off of Bluetooth, so I'm guessing if it isn't within range of anything it will not trigger scenes or there might be a delay.

Plus is that it says "Thread Ready".

I have been impressed with Wemo... for the low price. I use them for their cheap SmartPlugs. Only use the Apple Homekit app, not the Wemo app. Highly recommend the brand or at least the Wemo smart plugs.

I used to be a hardcore Wemo user, but I quit using this brand, after issues with the newer switches. I'm quite happy with Meross Homekit devices at this point.
I have a bunch of Meross Products, and they’ve been great. And their customer service has been really good, too. I had one switch arrive dead, I contacted them and they sent out a replacement right away.

What’s the advantage to using a remote to activate a scene? Why not just speak a command to your smart speaker that will trigger the scene you want activated? Am I missing something there?
* Speed
* Not wanting to annoy people who are sleeping/on a call/or countless reasons why loudly talking to a speaker may not be optimal
* Not wanting to deal with Siri misunderstanding and doing something totally different

I'm sure there are other reasons people would have - but those are the main ones that drove me towards remotes everywhere
