Component	Description
🖥️ Desktop App	Cross-platform Electron app (Windows + Linux) — device dashboard, power control, scheduling
🏠 Homebridge Plugin	HomeKit integration with custom scheduling UI inside Homebridge

Both share the same local-network Wemo protocol (UPnP/SOAP) and the same DWM scheduling engine. No Belkin account, no cloud dependency, no internet required.

Quick Start

Desktop App

Download the latest installer from Releases:

Windows:

Dibby Wemo Manager Setup 2.0.0.exe — NSIS installer (recommended)
Dibby Wemo Manager 2.0.0.exe — Portable single-file executable

Linux (x64):

Dibby Wemo Manager-2.0.0.AppImage — Universal AppImage, runs anywhere
dibby-wemo-manager_2.0.0_amd64.deb — Debian / Ubuntu
dibby-wemo-manager-2.0.0.x86_64.rpm — Fedora / RHEL

Linux (ARM64 — Raspberry Pi 4/5):

Dibby Wemo Manager-2.0.0-arm64.AppImage
dibby-wemo-manager_2.0.0_arm64.deb

Run the installer (Windows) or AppImage (Linux). Wemo devices are discovered automatically via SSDP on your local network.

Homebridge Plugin

npm install -g homebridge-dibby-wemo

Then add to your Homebridge config.json:

{
  "platforms": [
    {
      "platform": "DibbyWemo",
      "name": "DibbyWemo"
    }
  ]
}

Restart Homebridge. Devices appear in HomeKit automatically.

Features

🖥️ Desktop App

Device dashboard — real-time on/off status for all Wemo devices on your network
One-click power control — toggle any device instantly
DWM Rules — cross-device scheduling engine:
- Schedule — turn devices on/off at specific times on selected days
- Countdown — active-window timer (on at sunset, off at midnight, etc.)
- Away Mode — randomised on/off simulation while you're away
- Always On — enforce a device stays on; auto-corrects within 10 seconds
- Trigger — IFTTT-style: when device A changes state, control device B
Native firmware rules — read, toggle and delete rules stored on the Wemo device itself
Background scheduler — keeps rules firing even when the GUI is closed
- Windows: native Windows service (DibbyWemoService)
- Linux: background process, runs while app is in system tray
Web remote — optional local web interface accessible from your phone
Sunrise/sunset support — location-aware scheduling via city search

Platforms: Windows 10+ (x64) · Linux x64 · Linux ARM64 (Raspberry Pi 4/5)

🏠 Homebridge Plugin

All Wemo devices registered as HomeKit switches
Custom Homebridge UI panel with five tabs:
- Devices — live device list with on/off toggle
- DWM Rules — full scheduling CRUD (same rule types as desktop)
- Device Rules — native firmware rule management
- Settings — city/location search for sunrise/sunset times
- Help — built-in documentation
Scheduler health monitor — green/amber/red status bar shows scheduler state in real time
Catch-up on restart — rules missed while Homebridge was restarting fire automatically on startup
No cloud required; all communication is local SOAP/UPnP

Supported Devices

Tested and confirmed working:

Model	Name
WLS0403	Wemo 3-Way Smart Switch
WLS040	Wemo Light Switch
F7C030	Wemo Light Switch (older)
F7C027	Wemo Switch / Mini Smart Plug
F7C029	Wemo Insight Smart Plug
F7C063	Wemo Mini Smart Plug v2

Note: Wemo Dimmer V2 (WDS060) with newer RTOS firmware does not expose the FetchRules/StoreRules UPnP service. These devices are detected and support on/off control but native firmware rule editing is unavailable.

Architecture

Wemo Protocol

All communication is local UPnP/SOAP over HTTP — no Belkin cloud:

Operation	Method
Discovery	SSDP M-SEARCH multicast to `239.255.255.250:1900`
Device info	HTTP GET `http://<ip>:<port>/setup.xml`
On/Off	UPnP SOAP `SetBinaryState` / `GetBinaryState`
State query	UPnP SOAP `GetBinaryState`
Native rules	UPnP SOAP `FetchRules` / `StoreRules` (ZIP + SQLite)

Native Firmware Rules Database

The Wemo device stores rules in a SQLite database inside a ZIP archive:

FetchRules returns a URL to download the ZIP
The ZIP contains temppluginRules.db (SQLite)
Modify the SQLite, re-ZIP, base64-encode
StoreRules uploads the encoded database

Critical: StoreRules requires the base64 body wrapped in entity-encoded CDATA: <![CDATA[base64data]]> Standard XML builders cannot produce this format — the SOAP envelope must be hand-crafted.

DWM Scheduling Engine

The DWM (Dibby Wemo Manager) scheduler is a Node.js process that:

Loads rules from a JSON store
Ticks every 30 seconds, reloading rules on each tick (live edits take effect without restart)
Pre-schedules events within a 65-second look-ahead window
On startup, catches up any rules missed within the last 10 minutes
Runs a health monitor every 10 seconds for AlwaysOn and Trigger rules
Writes a heartbeat to the store on every tick so the UI can show scheduler status

Shared Core

packages/wemo-core contains shared constants and utilities (day numbers, time conversions, sunrise/sunset calculator) used by both the desktop app and the Homebridge plugin without duplication. It is an internal npm workspace package, not published to npm.

Development

Prerequisites

Node.js ≥ 18
npm ≥ 9

Install all dependencies

# From repo root — installs all workspaces
npm install

Desktop App — dev mode

cd apps/desktop
npm run dev

Desktop App — build

# Windows installer + portable exe
cd apps/desktop
npm run build:win

# Linux AppImage + .deb + .rpm (x64)
cd apps/desktop
npm run build:linux

# Linux ARM64 (Raspberry Pi)
cd apps/desktop
npm run build:linux:arm64

# Windows x64 + Linux x64 in one command
cd apps/desktop
npm run build:all

Output in apps/desktop/dist/.

Homebridge Plugin — install locally

cd packages/homebridge-plugin
npm install -g .

Then restart Homebridge.
