# Dibby Wemo Manager
|
||||
|
||||
**Local Wemo control — no Belkin cloud required.**
|
||||
|
||||
Dibby Wemo Manager gives you full local control of Belkin Wemo smart switches and plugs from two interfaces:
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| 🖥️ **Desktop App** | Windows Electron app — 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 (Windows)
|
||||
|
||||
Download the latest installer from [Releases](../../releases):
|
||||
|
||||
- **`Dibby Wemo Manager Setup 2.0.0.exe`** — NSIS installer (recommended)
|
||||
- **`Dibby Wemo Manager 2.0.0.exe`** — Portable single-file executable
|
||||
|
||||
Run the installer, launch the app. Wemo devices are discovered automatically via SSDP on your local network.
|
||||
|
||||
### Homebridge Plugin
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install -g homebridge-dibby-wemo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then add to your Homebridge `config.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```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
|
||||
- **Standalone service** — Windows background service that enforces rules even when the GUI is closed
|
||||
- **Web remote** — optional local web interface accessible from your phone
|
||||
- **Sunrise/sunset support** — location-aware scheduling via city search
|
||||
|
||||
### 🏠 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 |
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
> **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:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `FetchRules` returns a URL to download the ZIP
|
||||
2. The ZIP contains `temppluginRules.db` (SQLite)
|
||||
3. Modify the SQLite, re-ZIP, base64-encode
|
||||
4. `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 (`dibby-wemo.json`)
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
