The local ability to control Wemo devices will continue with home assistant but to re-configure a device or change its setting an app called pywemo was created.
I have tried using it and i get it to turn on and off a device when it is in setup mode so I know I am connected to it. But when I issue the command to set the wifi network i get this weird error and I don’t know why.
I am hoping someone here can help.
I know replacing all the devices would be one way to solve this but the whole idea here is to keep using the devices for as long as they work and not throw out someting that has local control that works. It is just some day if I need to change the wifi name or password i want to have the ability to do that.
devices[0].setup(ssid=‘Ms. Xeean’, password=‘t0no00le212’)
