Lightweight Python 2 and Python 3 module to discover and control WeMo devices.
This is a stripped down version of the Python API for WeMo devices, ouimeaux, with simpler dependencies.
pyWeMo depends on Python packages: requests, ifaddr and six
>> import pywemo
>> devices = pywemo.discover_devices()
>> print(devices)
[<WeMo Insight "AC Insight">]
>> devices[0].toggle()On some networks discovery doesn't work reliably, in that case if you can find the ip address of your Wemo device you can use the following code.
>> import pywemo
>> address = "192.168.100.193"
>> port = pywemo.ouimeaux_device.probe_wemo(address)
>> url = 'http://%s:%i/setup.xml' % (address, port)
>> device = pywemo.discovery.device_from_description(url, None)
>> print(device)
<WeMo Insight "AC Insight">Please note that you must use IP addresses here, rather than hostnames. First, because subscription update logic won't work properly; second, because recent versions of the WeMo firmware may not accept connections from hostnames, and will return a 500 error.
Setup and builds are fully automated. You can run build pipeline locally by running.
