⚠️ It is recommended (and easier) to use the Homebridge/HOOBS UI plugin settings screen to configure the plugin

Required Settings

Add the following to your configuration file in the appropriate place. The following are the basic required fields.

{
   "name": "Wemo",
   "platform": "Wemo"
}
  • ⚠️ The "platform": "Wemo" line must not be changed

Optional Settings

Entry Type Default Explanation
mode str "auto"

This setting defines how the plugin finds your devices.

  • "auto" - the plugin will discover all devices and manual devices
  • "semi" - the plugin will discover configured devices and manual devices
  • "manual" - the plugin will discover manual devices
discoveryInterval int 30 An interval (in seconds) in which the plugin will broadcast on your network to initally find devices and repair connection errors. Must be 15 or more.
pollingInterval int 30 An interval (in seconds) in which the plugin will request status updates for devices that don't support UPnP or have it manually disabled. Must be 15 or more.
disableUPNP bool false Global disable option for UPnP. HTTP polling will be used instead. This can also be overridden per accessory later in the config.
wemoClient object {}

Example below gives default values.

"wemoClient": {
   "listen_interface": "",
   "port": 0,
   "discover_opts": {
      "interfaces": "",
      "explicitSocketBind": true
   }
}

Where:

  • listen_interface
    • the network interface to listen on
  • port
    • a port to bind to for listening to UPnP events (if 0 then a random port is used)
  • discover_opts.interfaces
    • a list of interfaces to explicitly bind (if empty then bind to all)
  • discover_opts.explicitSocketBind
    • if true then bind sockets to each discovered interface explicitly instead of relying on the system
disableDeviceLogging bool false If true, updates for all devices will not be added to the log when they are controlled.
debug bool false If true, more information will be added to the log.
debugFakegato bool false If true, the included Fakegato library will debug to the log.
debugNodeSSDP bool false If true, the included node-ssdp library will debug to the log.
removeByName str "" Define an accessory by Homebridge name to remove from the cache. For example "My Lights". This can be useful for removing orphan accessories that you no longer have access to.
disablePlugin bool false If true, the plugin will remove all accessories and not load the plugin on restart.
makerTypes array []

  • manualIP - If the plugin cannot discover this device you can specify its IP and the plugin will try to determine the correct port. You can also specify a full address to specify both the IP and the port, e.g. http://192.168.1.1:49153/setup.xml
  • overrideLogging - Override global logging setting for this device. Can be default (follows global setting), standard for standard logging, debug for debug logging or disable to disable accessory logging

Example:

"makerTypes": [
