New pimatic-wemo (ouimeaux) Plugin

---

Hi!
Since the ouimeaux plugin dind’t work for me, I wrote a new one:

https://github.com/muldy/pimatic-wemo

I made my Wemo switch work with Pimatic

@muldy Excellent!

Seems to be a lot easier than pimatic-ouimeaux as there no need to setup ouimeaux server. It is also a big plus that your plugin supports auto-discovery right away!

Actually, pimatic-ouimeaux has not been ported to pimatic 0.9 as far as I can tell. So, it is not a big surprise you had troubles with using it. As ouimeaux is still actively maintained a pimatic-ouimeaux plugin might still be desirable for some users. I have created an issue report for the project maintainer.

Yes, my plugin does not need the ouimeaux[server], it’s stand alone (nor does it need the python lib).
It’s my first program in nodejs/pimatic/coffescript… ant it works for me

The auto-discover comes from de the wemo-client library:

@muldy Actually, your plugin cannot be installed due to an error. I have create an pull request which should fix the issue.

Hi,

i don’t get the plugin working. It tells me “WEMO: Device created!: 10.0.1.9:5000”, but i can not turn the device on or off.

  "devices": [
    {
      "id": "wemo_device2",
      "name": "Wemo_Test",
      "class": "WemoSwitch",
      "serialnumber": "221410K11003D6",
      "modelname": "WeMo Switch",
      "host": "10.0.1.9"
    },

Any idea?

Regards daice

Hi!

Did you added the device to one of your pages? After being auto detected?

How should the autodetect work? I wrote the config file on my own. I added the “Wemo_Test” device to one of my pages. It is a switch. But when i switch it on or off there is no reaction on the wemo switch.

The plugin must be added:

• By editing the config.json manually
• Or by adding it in the Plugins menu in “Browse plugins”

After the plugin is added you can auto discover devices:

• In the ‘Devices Menu’ use the “Discover devices” option, Wemo devices should appear there
• Add the desired device

Then the device will be available to be added to the pages.

Thanks, i got it.
