Belkin Wemo Binding

This binding integrates the Belkin WeMo Family. The integration happens either through the WeMo-Link bridge, which acts as an IP gateway to the ZigBee devices or through WiFi connection to standalone devices.

Supported Things

The WeMo Binding supports the Socket, Insight, Lightswitch, Motion and Maker devices, as well as the WeMo-Link bridge with WeMo LED bulbs.

Discovery

The WeMo devices are discovered through UPnP discovery service in the network. Devices will show up in the inbox and can be easily added as Things.

Binding Configuration

The binding does not need any special configuration

Thing Configuration

For manual Thing configuration, one needs to know the UUID of a certain WeMo device. In the thing file, this looks e.g. like

wemo:socket:Switch1 [udn="Socket-1_0-221242K11xxxxx"]

Channels

Devices support some of the following channels:

Channel Type ID	Item Type	Description
state	Switch	This channel controls the actual binary State of a Device or represents Motion Detection.
lastChangedAt	DateTime	Representing the Date and Time the device was last turned on or of.
lastOnFor	Number	Time in seconds an Insight device was last turned on for.
onToday	Number	Time in seconds an Insight device has been switched on today.
onTotal	Number	Time in seconds an Insight device has been switched on totally.
timespan	Number	Time in seconds over which onTotal applies. Typically 2 weeks except first used.
averagePower	Number	Average power consumption in Watts.
currentPower	Number	Current power consumption of an Insight device. 0 if switched off.
energyToday	Number	Energy in Wh used today.
energyTotal	Number	Energy in Wh used in total.
standbyLimit	Number	Minimum energy draw in W to register device as switched on (default 8W, configurable via WeMo App).
