How to use Dibby Wemo Manager in Homebridge
DWM (Dibby Wemo Manager) rules are stored locally and run in Homebridge.
Rule Types:
| π Schedule | Turn on/off at fixed times on selected days. Enter times in 12-hour format (e.g. 8:30 PM). Set a start time and optional end time, choose the action for each. |
| β± Countdown | Auto-off after a set number of minutes. Useful for things like a bathroom fan or porch light. |
| π Away Mode | Randomly turns lights on and off within a time window to simulate occupancy while you're away. |
| π Always On | Keeps a device permanently ON. If it's switched off by anyone, it will be turned back on within 10 seconds automatically. No time fields needed. |
| β‘ Trigger | IFTTT-style: when one device turns on/off, automatically control another. E.g. "When the porch light turns ON, turn ON the driveway lights too." |
β° Entering Times
Times use 12-hour AM/PM format. All of these are valid:
8:30 PM | 8:30 in the evening |
8:30PM | same β space is optional |
6:00 AM | 6 o'clock in the morning |
12:00 AM | midnight |
12:00 PM | noon |
9 PM | 9:00 PM β minutes are optional |
Trigger rules let one device control another automatically.
β οΈ The scheduler must be running for Trigger rules to work. If Homebridge restarts, rules resume automatically.
These are rules stored directly on the Wemo device's own firmware β separate from DWM Rules.
Set your city for accurate sunrise/sunset times in Schedule rules.
| No devices found | Make sure your PC and Wemo devices are on the same WiFi network. Try clicking Discover again. Some routers block SSDP multicast β add a manual device entry via the Homebridge config. |
| HomeKit toggle not working | Restart Homebridge. Devices need to be discovered at least once before HomeKit can control them. Check the Homebridge logs for errors. |
| Rules not firing | Check the β° DWM Rules tab status bar. π’ Green = scheduler running fine. π Amber = scheduler may have stopped β restart Homebridge. π΄ Red = scheduler not running β check the DibbyWemo platform is in your Homebridge config. Times use 12-hour AM/PM (e.g. 8:30 PM). |
| Settings panel blank | Run: npm install --prefix "%APPDATA%/npm/node_modules/homebridge-dibby-wemo" then restart Homebridge. |
