This MiOS plugin interfaces with devices in the ​Belkin WeMo range.

Supported devices

• ​WeMo Switch: an appliance switch.
• ​WeMo Motion: a motion sensor.

Supported devices are recognized by the plugin and are presented in the dashboard as a child device.

Unsupported devices

• ​WeMo Baby: a remote microphone.

Unsupported devices will not be recognized by the plugin.

Prerequisite setup

You will need the official Belkin ​WeMo app for iOS to set up new WeMo devices and add them to your Wi-Fi network. You will also need the app to upgrade WeMo firmware. For day-to-day use you do not need the iOS app at all.

Set up all your WeMo devices with the iOS app before installing the MiOS plugin. It is recommended that you assign a fixed IP address to each WeMo device using your router's DHCP Reservation feature; this will help the MiOS plugin to re-establish connections to the devices more quickly and reliably when it starts.

If you want to interface with If This Then That ​IFTTT, register an account with IFTTT and set up your rules.

Installing the plugin

Install the plugin from ​apps.mios.com. If you have WeMo? Motion sensors, or want to receive instant status updates in the dashboard when a switch is changed through the iPhone app or ​IFTTT, also install the ​UPnP Event Proxy plugin. (Note that the UPnP Event Proxy has ​extra uninstallation steps.)

Discovering WeMo devices

On the plugin's main device, click the spanner/wrench and go to the Configure tab. Ensure that the Enable scan for WeMo devices on LAN option is turned on.

The Configure page lists all of the WeMo switch and sensor devices that were found on your LAN. (Note that sometimes a device will not respond to discovery. Reload the Luup engine and the plugin will attempt discovery again. Devices on different subnets will not be discovered.)

For each device that you want Vera to know about, press one of the Add buttons. Press Add Static if you allocated that WeMo device a fixed IP address through your router; press Add Dynamic otherwise.

Once you have added all devices, close the device dialog and press SAVE.

On restarting the Luup engine, child devices will appear for each WeMo? device. You can rename these and place them in rooms.
