Wemo plugin initializes but does not find any Wemo devices

[pugsly]

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or need to do to trigger discovery?


I have 2Wemo Mini Smart Plugs.

The only requirement is that it has to be on the same network as the wemo devices. The plugin uses SSDP to discover the wemo devices automatically, just the same as the app does. You may need to check your computer's firewall settings if you've installed it on Windows.

Also, if your PC has more than one network card, you'll need to select the correct bind interface in the settings. If it's still not working, change the logging level to debug to see if we can get some more info.

Hmm, it's a laptop so it has wifi and wired. I am using the wired and have the wifi disabled...

What should I see in the log, or be looking for? When I search "Wemo" I just get these 6 entries, nothing more.

And you set the level of logging to debug?

Yes sir!

If you turn on the "Developer Mode" check box on the top of the plugin manager page and then stop/start the plugin you should get a black/white console window open up. Does that show you anything?

Ah hang on, I was looking in the system log. In the wemo log I see -

Looks like it's not able to connect to homeseer for some reason. Let me see if I can recreate it. What OS are you running?

Windows 10 Pro, it's a dedicated PC only running HS3.

Any thoughts on what I should try to make this work? Going through IFTTT is not optimal!

[kingfetty]

To be honest, I can't figure it out. Everything you've told me checks out, and I cannot recreate the issue. I've tested the plugin locally against those same plugs and it works 100% of the time. The only thing I can think of is that somehow your network is blocking devices from seeing/talking to each other. Do you have a security option on your wireless that blocks hosts from talking to each other?
