Update, still trash.
UPDATE 7-19-17---New one will not find my network. Sending back, not worth the time or effort to try and get it to work. Will get a competitor product to see if it's any better.---
Initially it set up really easy. Saw my WiFi, connected with no issue and then got it connected to Alexa. Saw it needed a Firmware upgrade so I initiated that. An hour later I still had not got an update on the app and the plug was blinking green.
Read online for fixes etc. Got it working and for giggles, moved it to a different plug. After that could not get it to connect to WiFi again.
Played around with it some more and still had issues. Made changes to Router to remove any special characters from Network name, no password, 1 upper case character in network name and still had issues connected. Removed App, reinstalled app, tried from iPhone, iPad and finally got it connected and set up in Alexa again.
Power went out and it didn't find the network again, blinking amber light. I am tired of playing around with this thing. Sending it back for a new one and if that doesn't work, scrapping the whole Wemo thing and trying a competitor.
