Wemo, the smart home arm of Belkin, announced an updated version of its in-wall dimmer switch this week. The new Wemo Smart Dimmer with Thread<\/a> ($59.99) is a wired smart switch<\/a> that lets you dim and turn lights on and off remotely. It works exclusively with Apple\u2019s HomeKit platform over Thread or Bluetooth and is available now from Belkin\u2019s web store<\/a> (and coming soon to Amazon<\/a>). <\/p>\n

This HomeKit focus follows a recent trend for the company, whose last few products \u2014 the Wemo Stage Scene Controller<\/a>, smart plug<\/a>, and video doorbell<\/a> \u2014 only work with Apple\u2019s smart home platform. This means the new switch will use the Apple Home app<\/a> exclusively (and not the Wemo app), and will work with Siri for voice control.<\/p>\n
