This project will integrate your WeMo switch with SMS services. You will need an IFTTT account (we can help with this).
In this project, we fully installed a WeMo switch and then added several integrations, such as an automated lighting timer, and a panic-alert SMS any time someone longpresses the switch.
By adding a (fairly) simple IFTTT trigger with your WeMo switch, you can set it up so that if someone presses for more than 2 seconds (a long press), it will automatically send out a "panic" SMS to someone. This is a great way to keep someone safe who may be living at home alone.

For an additional fee, we can actually teach you how to implement this solution yourself. This is a good solution if you plan to continue creating more of these yourself.
