Belkin’s WeMo platform of connected home products is growing to include a hacker-friendly module called the WeMo Maker. Announced this week at International CES 2014, the device allows you to switch up to 36 volts DC or take readings from 5 volt analog sensors. All of this can done remotely through the Internet with Belkin’s app via their cloud service. For local control, you can use the WeMo SDK to roll your own service if you prefer.
In the video above, I got a quick overview of the WeMo Maker from Belkin Product Manager Jake Whisler. They expect that the device will be available this summer. No pricing information is available yet.
