I finished the installation myself in 30 minutes, and I spent a good portion of that time watching the tutorial video and compulsively checking my fuse box and power to make sure I had turned everything off correctly - actual installation time was probably closer to 15 to 20 minutes.
But others who are new to the oft-intimidating world of fuse boxes and wire connecters should offer a more experienced friend a couple of cold drinks in exchange for assistance. If you're not afraid to flip a circuit breaker, installing the WeMo switch shouldn't be very complicated or time consuming. The video will take you through the process so you can get this thing working and looking nice in your home as painlessly as possible. The installation instructions Belkin provides on the box are misleadingly short, so I suggest skimming those briefly and then watching Belkin's installation video for all of the important details. If you don't have a light switch that you like to program regularly, this is going to be more of a novelty for you - albeit one that's fun to use and well-designed. It's basically a modern way to automate your home lighting or other devices (ceiling fans, etc.) without having to mess with a dial timer. It definitely makes more sense if you like to create preset schedules for your lights: think holiday decorations or a front-porch light. I thought 50 bucks for a light switch seemed excessive at first, but it might just be worth it for some of you. If your Wi-Fi is disabled for some reason, you can still physically turn your lights on or off the old-fashioned way. So as long as your phone is connected to the Internet, you can monitor and modify the light settings in your home with minimal effort.

The switch connects to your home WiFi network, which then passes on control of the switch to Belkin's free WeMo mobile app. The Belkin WeMo Light Switch replaces most single wall-mounted on/off switches and lets you control your lights from anywhere with an Internet connection.
