Wemo Smart Plug Mini

A compact, budget-friendly smart plug that connects directly to HomeKit over Wi-Fi without a separate bridge. It allows for remote control and scheduling of lamps, fans, or small appliances through the Home app. Its small size doesn't block adjacent outlets. However, it uses Wi-Fi, which can contribute to network congestion, and early models had significant reliability and connectivity issues.

While newer hardware revisions are more stable, the brand's reputation for spotty firmware and dropouts persists. It's a decent, low-cost entry point, but Thread-based plugs offer superior reliability and responsiveness.
