Experiences with Wemo controllers?

(not sure why there isn’t a wemo tag)

Hi all- I am pretty new to the HA world.

I have been playing around with a couple of z-wave things (stick, a couple of outlets, and a quadmote) for a demo project for work, which is working fine after figuring it out.

I got a few of the wemo switches and a dimmer for Christmas. I learned that the wemo dimmer doesn’t actually (yet) work directly with HA, and the switches seem to be pretty flaky as well. In the past two days I have had to reboot a couple of them multiple times to get them to work at all (unplug/replug).

When HA starts up it calls a GET <IP>:49153/setup.xml, and if any one of them fails to respond it balks on the whole set. I already had to switch to static IPs for them because of the dimmer.

I am about ready to send these back. Any other experiences with them here?

Thanks!
