# Belkin Wemo Binding

This binding integrates the Belkin WeMo Family (opens new window). 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, Dimmer, Coffemaker and Maker devices, as well as the WeMo-Link bridge with WeMo LED bulbs. The Binding also supports the Crock-Pot Smart Slow Cooker, Mr. Coffee Smart Coffemaker as well as the Holmes Smart Air Purifier, Holmes Smart Humidifier and Holmes Smart Heater.

# 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 configuration.

# Thing Configuration

For manual Thing configuration, one needs to know the UDN of a certain WeMo device. It can most easily be obtained by performing an auto-discovery before configuring the thing manually.

Most devices share the udn configuration parameter:

Configuration Parameter Description
udn The UDN identifies the WeMo device

# WeMo LED Light

For LED Lights paired to a WeMo Link bridge, please use the following configuration parameter:

Configuration Parameter Description
deviceID The device ID identifies one certain WeMo light

# WeMo Insight Switch

The WeMo Insight Switch has some additional parameters for controlling the behavior for channel currentPower. This channel reports the current power consumption in Watt. The internal theoretical accuracy is 5 mW, i.e. three decimals. These raw values are reported with high frequency, often multiple updates can occur within a single second. For example, the sequence of 40.440 W, 40.500 W and 40.485 W would result in the channel being updated with values rounded to nearest integer, respectively 40 W, 41 W and 40 W.

When persisting items linked to this channel, this can result in a significant amount of data being stored. To mitigate this issue, a sliding window with a moving average calculation has been introduced. This window is defined with a one minute default period. This is combined with a delta trigger value, which is defaulted to 1 W. This means that the channel is only updated when one of the following conditions are met:

  1. The rounded value received is equal to the rounded average for the past minute, i.e. this value has stabilized. This introduces a delay for very small changes in consumption, but on the other hand it prevents excessive logging and persistence caused by temporary small changes and rounding.
  2. The rounded value received is more than 1 W from the previous value. So when changes are happening fast, the channel will also be updated fast.
Configuration Parameter Description
udn The UDN identifies the WeMo Insight Switch
currentPowerSlidingSeconds Sliding window in seconds for which moving average power is calculated (0 = disabled)
currentPowerDeltaTrigger Delta triggering immediate channel update (in Watt)

The moving average calculation can be disabled by setting either currentPowerSlidingSeconds or currentPowerDeltaTrigger to 0. This will cause the channel to be updated the same way as in openHAB versions prior to 3.3.
