Provide example on how to use it with Wemo Light

[cbrake]

Hi -- thanks for the excellent library. I'm experimenting with it some, and I see statusChange events when I turn a Wemo light on/off:

statusChange 94103EF6BF427B58 10006 0
statusChange 94103EF6BF427B58 30008 0:0
statusChange 94103EF6BF427B58 10008 255:0
statusChange 94103EF6BF427B58 10006 1

Is there any way to "discover" the lights attached to the system, or do we need to toggle the light states using a wemo phone app, note the deviceId, and then use it?

Thanks!

Hi Cliff,

thanks for providing feedback. The yet undocumented client.getEndDevices(cb) is what you're looking for. I'll provide docs and an example later on.

Cheers. Timon

Hi Timon,

Thanks -- I gave it a try. Works pretty well, but only reports one of my two lights. Poking into the XML a little, it looks like there are multiple DeviceLists:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><DeviceLists><DeviceList><DeviceListType>Paired</DeviceListType><DeviceInfos><DeviceInfo><DeviceIndex>0</DeviceIndex><DeviceID>94103EF6BF421ADA</DeviceID><FriendlyName>office</FriendlyName><IconVersion>1</IconVersion><FirmwareVersion>7E</FirmwareVersion><CapabilityIDs>10006,10008,30008,30009,3000A</CapabilityIDs><CurrentState>1,255:0,0:0,,</CurrentState><Manufacturer>MRVL</Manufacturer><ModelCode>MZ100</ModelCode><WeMoCertified>YES</WeMoCertified></DeviceInfo><DeviceInfo><DeviceIndex>1</DeviceIndex><DeviceID>94103EF6BF427B58</DeviceID><FriendlyName>school</FriendlyName><IconVersion>1</IconVersion><FirmwareVersion>7E</FirmwareVersion><CapabilityIDs>10006,10008,30008,30009,3000A</CapabilityIDs><CurrentState>1,255:0,0:0,,</CurrentState><Manufacturer>MRVL</Manufacturer><ModelCode>MZ100</ModelCode><WeMoCertified>YES</WeMoCertified></DeviceInfo></DeviceInfos></DeviceList></DeviceLists>

I'm out of time today, but will try to work on it some more at some point.

Thanks, Cliff

The bug you mentioned should be resolved now. Thanks for providing the XML, that helped a lot fixing it.

Please note that I also changed the behavior of client.getEndDevices a bit – it now calls the callback only a single time and passes an array of found devices:

client.getEndDevices(function(err, endDevices) {
  if (!err) {
    console.log(endDevices.length + ' bulbs found');
    console.log(endDevices);
  }
});

works great -- thanks!
