Hey Folks, I saw this today on Hackaday. An enterprising hacker has figured out to gain remote control over WeMo devices. Not only can he scan the internet for WeMo devices, hack in to your house's devices, and turn the power on or off, the WeMo is actually capable of switching the load on and off dozens of times per second, which means he can send the device in to an extreme power cycle loop that can start fires in things like space heaters and motors.
Wow...I hope they are able to fix this for the people who already bought their devices!
