    Wemo maker with break out box

    Hi can I use this wemo maker with a break out box, I think it needs to be a dry switch but not sure if it is.

    The relay output is a dry contact. That's actually a really ingenious idea to trigger apex behavior from IFTTT

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    I 'think' I can see what this does but I'm struggling to understand the 'why' If you can already control Apex wirelessly via fusion?

    Probably gone clean over my head as I have very limited electronics knowledge....

    It's main use would be to run apex actions based on conditions from non-apex home automation devices.

    So this wouldn't be a two way street? I.e. The apex can't send commands for the wemo to action?

    The idea for me anyway is to use it in combination with voice commands from Alexa. I can then say turn the sump light on and it turns on etc.

    I've connected my lights and skimmer up via voice command already ...
