Wiring for wemo light switch
See picture for existing wiring. I have a red, black and white wires coming out of the wall. The switch on the right controls a ceiling light and the switch on the left controls an outdoor patio light. I would like to replace the switch on the left with a belkin wemo light switch so I can control it remotely. The new switch has 2 black wires, a white neutral and a green ground. The white neutral must be connected for the switch to operate correctly. Any idea how to make this work with the existing wire setup?

Welcome to the forums!
The new switch is not going to work with the current setup. You do not have a neutral in that box. The white is the hot of the three wire cable. (should be colored black with tape or marker)

Welcome to the forums.
Sorry.... you don't have a neutral in that box.
You have a three wire cable to that location.
White is used as a hot wire to the switches (without being remarked.)
Black is one light.
Red is the other light.
