Morning, all,

So as those of you who have been following my posts this weekend will know, we 
finally gave up on Siri and decided to go with Alexa on a Sonos 1 for home 
automation.  The setup was super easy and we spent the weekend messing with 
everything.  then this morning ... I googled Wemo and learned that following a 
recent firmware update, their smart plugs now pair with Siri and Homekit 
without requiring a bridge.  For those interested, it worked exactly as 
advertised.  the firmware update went off without a hitch, as did the 
connection to Apple Home.  So, after all this fuss, it looks like we'll be 
saying bye-bye to Alexa after all.  Note: right now only the mini-smart plugs 
work without a bridge, so if you're interested in other Wemo devices, your 
mileage may vary.  Though it looks like they're actively working on improving 
their Apple compatibility.  I just thought I would share this, to hopefully 
save someone else on list the countless hours that we have invested trying to 
get all this to work.  Hope it's helpful.
Cheers,
Donna
