Only one fauxmo virtual wemo switch discovered by HA

Configuration
1

Hi,

I have a Raspberry PI Zero W configured as an IR remote using fauxmo & LIRC. It works fine, is discovered by Alexa, and can be controlled via voice commands.

I have recently installed HA on another RPi, and would like to include the fauxmo switches, but whatever I do, HA only discovers one switch. It doesn’t matter whether I enable discovery (or not), or define the switches as static:

wemo:
  static:
    - 192.168.1.114:49914
    - 192.168.1.114:49915
    - 192.168.1.114:49916

However many static switches are defined, only the first appears in HA. The switch that does appear always works fine.

Does anyone know what I need to do for HA to recognise all the fauxmo switches?

Thanks.

Hi,

Did you make any progress with this?

No, I was unable to solve the issue. I’ve now abandoned fauxmo and instead wrote some Python code to achieve what I needed (run shell scripts on a remote RPi) using MQTT. Much simpler and easy to tie into HA.
