The software and wifi connecting has sort of been trash, but the WeMo Smart Dimmer and WeMo Three Way are GREAT pieces of hardware as far as being a LIGHT SWITCH is concerned. It's the apple of switch design. A single button for on or off. Slide your finger up the track for brightness. Long press to control other switches on the network (glitchier.)

The Philips ecosystem has a wide range of accessories, including smart dimmer knobs to control smart lights. https://www.lutron.com/en-US/products/pages/standalonecontro... LIFX now has a switch, but I've never actually seen it in stock so it may be vaporware. https://www.lifx.com/products/lifx-switch
It can be annoying when it glitches out, but overall its a positive change. Don't knock it until youve really given it a serious try.
