Harmony Ultimate Home + Belkin Wemo = a lazy and happy guy

[mexicanto]

My setup:

2 hamony hub (ultimare home + smart home)
4 belkin wemo switches
1 amazon echo (alexa)

(2 harmonys, one for the TV in the workshop, the other on the bedroom TV)

sofware :

HarmonyHubControl.exe (to send instructions over a command line)
Wemocontrol.exe (to send instruction over command line, but i dont really used it)
voxcommando 2.x
voxwav on cell phone


Devices:

workshop:
1 westinghouse tv
1 amazon fire stick
1 q-see oem surveillance dvr (connected to the bedroom tv set)

bedroom:
1 vizio tv
1 matricom g-box (kodi)
1 amazon fire tv
(1) the surveillance dvr from the workshop

1 desktop pc win 7 with 2 surevillance microphones attached on parallel audio input
1 touch monitor at the main entrance, so i can control everything over voice or touch

1 dell laptop with windows 10 (i know no why, but the wemo plug in is not working on this, but works
   perfectly on the win 7, any ideas ??

almost everything work very good, i can turn on.off, change channels, etc etc, is actually pretty easy thanks
to the harmony hubs, no remote codes to learn

thing to do:
if somebody ring the main entrance, both tvs change inputs ti surveillance and camera to the main camera
if my phone rings, everything goes muted (bluetooth??)

the problems so far:
VC wemo plug in is not working on the win 10 laptop

i am starting to wet mi feet with VC and arduino and ESP266 wifi module

any questions, fell free to ask

thank you

Daniel

VC wemo plug in is not working on the win 10 laptop

Yes this is a known issue for Wemo on Windows 8 and higher.  It has been discussed several times already on this forum.  Try doing a search.  I am working on a possible solution but I'm not sure when it will be ready.

Thank you James

Meanwhile, i am doing a workaround with a software i found

wemocontrol.exe

with this, you can send a command line to turn on.off the switch

it is no the ideal, because you have to load the sofware in the memory,
but it works as a solution, you just have to use the Launch.capture
i did the same with harmony hub

for everybody else, if you want a quick ans easy solution for control your
tv/dvd/fire tv/matricom/ etc etc etc, for me, the easiest is the harmony hub
no remote codes to learn, works almost out of the box, cheap.

thanks again

Version 2.2.2.6 is now available:

The Wemo plugin should now work in Windows 10 and probably also in Windows 8 (untested).
