homebridge-platform-wemo

Belkin WeMo Platform plugin for the awesome Homebridge project.

Currently supports

• Wemo Switch
• Wemo Light Swicth (please test and report issues)
• Wemo Insight Switch (on/off only - please test and report issues)
• Wemo Bulb (via Wemo Link - on/off/brightness)

Installation

1. Install homebridge using: npm install -g homebridge
2. Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-platform-wemo
3. Update your configuration file. See the sample below.

Updating

Recently refactored to increase speed of operation and update on/off/brightness status more reliably.

1. npm update -g homebridge-platform-wemo

Configuration

Configuration sample:

expected_accessories is the count of Wemo bulbs and switches you have - it is optional and if not specified the timeout value will be used to wait for the discovery process to conclude. timeout is specified in seconds and will default to 10 seconds.

"platforms": [
       {
         "platform": "BelkinWeMo",
         "name": "WeMo Platform",
         "expected_accessories" : "x",
         "timeout" : "y"
       }   
   ]

The module will try and find all your WeMo Devices and make them available to HomeBridge / HomeKit / Siri.

The discovery process can be a little hit or miss with the Wemo platform so if all your devices are not discovered try restarting homebridge a few times and make sure all Lights (Bulbs) are on!

ToDo

The code was recently updated to increase the speed of status checking by persisting the WemoClient objects properly.
