While I can use the ipad app to control the wemo - much easier to pair it with an Amazon Echo. I choose to buy 2 of the WeMo basic switches to control 2 lamps in the living room... the 'tall' lamp and the 'small' lamp. After installing ipad app, connecting them 1 at a time, updating the firmware, and then naming them - I was set. Since we have the Amazon Echo as well, I asked Alexa to 'discover my devices' - to which she took about 30 seconds to discover both. Now I can just say "Alexa turn on the tall lamp" - without having to open the iPad - yup it's that lazy simple.
I did have a router needs reboot situation -- and after that I did have to rediscover 1x after a wifi network reboot, but that too was 30 seconds -- after I confirmed that both WeMo switches were back online.
Haven't create any 'scenes' where I can turn BOTH on or off at once... sure to try that later this month.
With the success of the plug in switch, I have been looking at WeMo Light Switches, but the WeMo version doesn't have dimming capacity --- yet. Once it does handle dimming, I would consider swapping out the key ones. (kitchen, entryway, bedroom, hallway) -- so come on Belkin - add the dimming and keep the easy Automation coming.
I would recommend this to a friend!

can you turn a thermostat up or down

Not with this Switch product. I guess if you had an electric heater plugged in you could have a ON/OFF toggle with this switch (assuming the heater is 'on' and set to a temperature for auto shutoff)...

For thermostat control try searching for "WiFi thermostat" - lots of solutions out there, but the right one depends on the # of wires you need, # of stages of heating/cooling, and compatibility with your phone/tablet/HCI (human computer interaction)....
