Lightweight Python module to discover and control WeMo devices
Project description
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.
Dependencies
pyWeMo depends on Python packages: requests, ifaddr and six
How to use
>> import pywemo
>> devices = pywemo.discover_devices()
>> print(devices)
[<WeMo Insight "AC Insight">]
>> devices[0].toggle()If discovery doesn’t work on your network
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
>>> url = pywemo.setup_url_for_address("192.168.1.192", None)
>>> print(url)
http://192.168.1.192:49153/setup.xml
>>> device = pywemo.discovery.device_from_description(url, None)
>>> print(device)
<WeMo Maker "Hi Fi Systemline Sensor">Please note that discovery.device_from_description call requires a url with an IP address, rather than a hostnames. This is needed for the subscription update logic to work properly. In addition recent versions of the WeMo firmware may not accept connections from hostnames, and will return a 500 error.
The setup_url_for_address function will lookup a hostname and provide a suitable url with an IP addesss.
Developing
Setup and builds are fully automated. You can run build pipeline locally by running.
