I was worried after reading the reviews from some who these didn't work well for them, but having a Homekit enabled light marked high on the list for us, and the Wemo seemed to be the best. We've used their plugs in the past and they worked fine.
Happy to report that the switch works great. Zero issues. (Sigh of relief). If I do have issues, I'll try to remember to update the review, as I've ordered more.
The switch does have that LED circle that I wish we could turn off from the app. Our switch is for the outdoor lights, so it's not in a bedroom, so the light on the actual switch isn't a bother at night--just wish we could turn it off if we wanted to.
As far as temperature goes. The switch does get slightly warm, but not hot when the light is on. Since it's the porch light, it's on for hours at night, but it doesn't get any hotter, just warm.
Installation wasn't bad, just make sure to get the neutral wire to the right spot. The neutral wire was not connected directly to the old switch device, but was back in the box. Even knowing this, I just about hooked up the wrong colors. Just keep an eye on matching the diagram.
I love that the switch is Siri enabled now, and we set up an automation through the Home app. Works great!
