Wemo light strange behaviour after update

Configuration
1

My Wemo lights are playing up after the update to 0.73 and 0.73.1. They will turn themselves on and off at regular intervals and I can’t see any reason for it. Anyone else having this issue?

2

Yes I’m also having this issue. Did you find any solution?

3

@gstorer / @balloob Maybe it’s related with this pull request?

I didn’t figure out what was wrong. I ended up removing the WeMo hub and am now using zigbee2mqtt and it works correctly

Its pretty unlikely that that change is causing the problem since it just adds a feature. However, the associated change in pywemo could be the root cause. This tries to use what I think is a newer message.
https://github.com/pavoni/pywemo/pull/100

Try rolling that change back, its only a few lines of code and see if the problem goes away. My other suggestion would be to see if you can firmware update the Wemo devices. For what its worth my lights are firmware version 83 and my Wemo link is version ‘WeMo_WW_2.00.11057.PVT-OWRT-Link’

In general I found the Wemo bridge to be pretty temperamental. Just polling the device for its status seemed to kick it into action sometimes.

Thanks for your response @Gstorer.

I have the same version for lights and link:

@Gstorer

Rolling back the change it didn’t work neither.

As it became unusable for me I removed the Wemo light entities from HA and added some basic rules in the Wemo app :frowning:

Zigbee2mqtt works really well if you want an alternative to remove Wemo hub
