Belkin's Wemo brand has announced the Wemo Stage Scene Controller. This is a wireless remote control that allows users to manage and control scenes for lighting, entertainment, security, and temperature in the Home app on the best iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch through Bluetooth or Thread.

The Wemo Stage was designed for easy automation through simple long-press and short-press functions.

This means you can have the remote set for use with your movie night, bedtime, or energy saving scenes, and so much more.

"We are also very invested in the future of Connected Home over IP (CHIP) and continue to be aligned with its belief that smart home devices should be secure, reliable, and seamless to use."
