new year and a new Wemo switch namely the new Belkin Wemo mini it's a much smaller version of the original app enabled switch and the idea is that you can plug one in without blocking the adjacent outlets it's got a lower price point - it's down to $35 each which makes it one of the more competitive options it works with multiple platforms those platforms include Amazon's Alexa and Google home also if - the free online automation service a lot of neat ways to turn things on and off remotely in your smart home however it doesn't work with apple homekit that's kind of a surprise we thought it might add in homekit compatibility still this is a pretty well connected smart plug that has a lot to offer if you're looking to learn about home automation or get your feet wet with turning things on and off remotely if you got an Amazon echo or a Google home smart speaker for Christmas I think it's a great follow up purchase because both of those can control it using voice commands but if you were hoping for Siri compatibility this time around you're probably disappointed and you want to go instead to something like the AI home smart plug or the I devices switch both of which will work with Siri
