Overview

w3mo is a pure python API wrapper for wemo devices

Installation

pip3 install w3mo

Usage

Interactive "Shell"

from w3mo import w3mo
w3mo.interactive() #this mode will launch a "shell" to interact with discovered devices on your network

Device Discovery

from w3mo import w3mo

#returns a dictionary of devices with the device name as the key
#{'name':{'ip':device_ip,'obj':instantiated w3mo control class}}
x = w3mo.discover(return_type=dict)

#returns a list of devices
#[{'name':'device_name_1','ip':'device_ip':,'obj':instantiated w3mo control class}]
x = w3mo.discover(return_type=list)

#sets the timeout in seconds that the script will wait for a thread to join. This basically improves speed with the understanding that threads will still be running in the background if set too short. Default is 5s.
x = w3mo.discover(join_timeout=5)

#prints verbose debug data to the console. Default is False.
x = w3mo.discover(debug=True)

Device Control

from w3mo import w3mo
import time

devices = w3mo.discover(return_type=list)

#define device as the control class instantiation at index 0 of devices
device = devices[0]['obj']

#device name and state are set at instantiation and updated throughout use
print("Device Name = {}".format(device.name))
print("Device State = {}".format(device.state))

#turn on
device.set_state(1)


#time.sleep(.25)
#turn off
#device.set_state(0)

Supported Devices

• NOTE: supported just means I had these devices / firmwares on hand for testing. Other devices SHOULD work, if you find something that doesn't fix it and submit a pull request!
