Belkin's WeMo home automation gear up for pre-order, iOS current control for under $100

[![Belkin's WeMo home automation gear up for pre-order, iOS current control for under $100][1] ][2]

Been quietly pining for Belkin's couch potato home automation solutions? Well, the wait is (almost) over, as the company has finally put its WeMo Switch and Motion products up for pre-order. You can reserve yours through Belkin or Amazon, with the Switch costing $49.99 and the Motion / Switch bundle setting you back a neat $99.99. Apple likes it enough to add the gear to its [home-friendly repertoire][3] in-store on the 26th, while other retailers, Verizon included, will be stocking them shortly afterwards. Rig the Switch up to your WiFi at home and you can control the flow of juice from its outlet via the WeMo iOS app (sorry, no Android love). Add in the motion detector and you can set rules for power control based on proximity triggers. Interestingly, Belkin also reports [IFTTT][4] integration, meaning the devices can be used for a lot more than the simple on / off remote commands and scheduling we [originally thought][5]. For those with iDevices, the free WeMo app is available now, not that it's particularly useful _just_ yet. Need Mo? Check out the official PR and a promotional vid after the break.
