What Makes the WEMO light switches so Important?

They are just one more affordable and easy way to step up your security. If you want to turn the lights on before you or a family member arrives home, no problem you can do this no matter where you are at. There is no longer any worries about the kids having to come into a dark house, or yourself for that matter. This brings great comfort to those who live alone, or seniors who go out and forget to leave a light on when they are coming home in the dark.

It is true that you can do the same thing with timers, but these don’t give you the flexibility that turning on a light when you choose does. Besides, if an unscrupulous person is watching your house it’s not difficult for them to discern that the lights are on timers, because they come on at the same time every day.

Also, with the WEMO it can be configured to send you text messages whenever a light is turned on. This way you know immediately if any activity is taking place in the home as soon as anyone activates the WEMO light switch.

It is the little steps like this with affordable innovative products that can really take your security to the next level.
