Wemo Client for Node.js

Low-level client library for controlling recent Wemo devices including Bulbs. Supports event subscriptions to get live updates from devices.

Supported Devices

Wemo Switch
Wemo Motion
Wemo Insight Switch
Wemo Maker
Wemo Link
- Wemo LED Bulb
- OSRAM Lightify Flex RGBW
- OSRAM Lightify Tunable White (untested)
- OSRAM Gardenspot Mini RGB (untested)
Wemo Light Switch

Install

$ npm install wemo-client

Usage

var Wemo = require('wemo-client');
var wemo = new Wemo();

wemo.discover(function(deviceInfo) {
  console.log('Wemo Device Found: %j', deviceInfo);

  // Get the client for the found device
  var client = wemo.client(deviceInfo);

  // Handle BinaryState events
  client.on('binaryState', function(value) {
    console.log('Binary State changed to: %s', value);
  });

  // Turn the switch on
  client.setBinaryState(1);
});

discover(cb)

Discover Wemo devices via UPnP. A deviceInfo will be passed to cb that can be used to get a client for the device found.

Callback cb Callback called with for every single device found.

load(setupUrl, cb)

Allows to skip discovery if the setupUrl of a Wemo is already known. A deviceInfo will be passed to cb that can be used to get a client for the device found.

String setupUrl Must point to setup.xml of the requested device (http://device_ip:device_port/setup.xml).
Callback cb

client(deviceInfo)

Get a single instance of WemoClient for the device specified by deviceInfo.

Object deviceInfo The deviceInfo as returned by the discovery.

WemoClient

Event: binaryState (value)

Binary state of a device has been updated, e.g. a motion sensor detected motion or a plug is switched on.

String value The state of the binary switch/sensor. 1 = on/closed/motion, 0 = off/open/quiet

client.on('binaryState', function(value) {
  console.log('Device turned %s', value === '1' ? 'on' : 'off')
});

Event: statusChange (deviceId, capabilityId, value)

Capability of a device connected via Wemo Bridge changed its status.

String deviceId Id of the device connected to the bridge
String capabilityId Capability
String value Status

Event: attributeList (name, value, prevalue, timestamp)

Attribute of a device has changed. This seems to apply to Wemo Maker only for now.

String name Name of the attribute, e.g. Switch
String value Current value
String prevalue Previous value
String timestamp Timestamp of the change

Event: insightParams (binaryState, instantPower, data)

Wemo Insight Switch sent new power consumption data.

String binaryState 1 = on, 0 = off, 8 = standby
String instantPower Current power consumption in mW
Object data Aggregated usage data

getEndDevices(cb)

Get bulbs connected to a Wemo Bridge. An endDeviceInfo for every device paired is passed to the callback in an array, e.g.:

[{
  friendlyName: 'Color Bulb',
  deviceId: 'EA103EA2B2782FFF'
  capabilities: {
    '10006': '1'
    '10008': '121:0'
  },
  deviceType: 'dimmableLight'
}]

Device groups are treated as if they were single devices – a sole endDeviceInfo is returned per group.

Notice: The capabilities property may represent outdated values due to some odd behavior of the device API. Please refer to getDeviceStatus or Event: statusChange to obtain the current state of the device.

Callback cb cb(err, endDeviceInfos)

getBinaryState(cb)

Get the device's binary state.

Callback cb cb(err, state)

The callback is passed the state (1 = on, 0 = off).

setBinaryState(value, [cb])

Turn the device on or off. Will also cause a binaryState event to be triggered.

String value 1 = on, 0 = off
Callback cb cb(err, response)

getDeviceStatus(deviceId, cb)

Gets the device Status of a device connected via Wemo Bridge, e.g. a bulb.

String deviceId Id of the device connected to the bridge (determined by calling getEndDevices)
Callback cb cb(err, deviceStatus)

The callback is passed the deviceStatus which is a map of device capabilities and values, e.g.:

{
  '10006': '1', // on = 1, off = 0, offline = empty
  '10008': '121:0', // brightness 0-255
  '30008': '0:0', // no sleep timer active
  '30009': '', // unknown
  '3000A': '' // unknown
}

setDeviceStatus(deviceId, capability, value, [cb])

Controls a capability of a device connected via Wemo Bridge, e.g. a bulb.

String deviceId Id of the device connected to the bridge (determined by calling getEndDevices)
String capability Capability
String value Value
Callback cb cb(err, response)

Known capabilities (depends on device):

10006 Turn bulb on/off. Values: 1 = on, 0 = off
10008 Dim bulb. Value: brightness:transition_time, where brightness = 0-255
30008 Sleep timer. Value: seconds*10:current_unixtime
10300 Color. Value: X:Y:transistion_time
30301 Color Temperature. Value: ct:transition_time, where ct = 170-370

setLightColor(deviceId, red, green, blue, [cb])

Convenience function for setting the color of a RGB light.

String deviceId Id of the light connected to the bridge (determined by calling getEndDevices)
Number red 0-255
Number green 0-255
Number blue 0-255
Callback cb cb(err, response)

Debugging

Wemo Client uses debug, so just run with environmental variable DEBUG set to wemo-client.

$ env DEBUG=wemo-client node examples/index.js
