alanchow Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Chowmain - Belkin WeMo Driver Control4 supplies the wireless outlet switch that makes any household plug-in device, like lamps, appliances and electronics part of the Control4 system by turning a standard outlet into a smart outlet. Unfortunately this device is not available to the majority of the world as it only supports 120VAC voltage for US plug type devices. Introducing the Belkin WeMo Switch. It has US/UK/AU-NZ plug types and is extremely affordable. This WiFi based power outlet supports up to 10amps and can be easily integrated into the Control4 home automation system using the Chowmain Belkin WeMo driver. Features * Real-time feedback if using a the WeMo ios or android application* Auto discovery of IP address and port by entering in the serial number of the WeMo* Auto update of IP address and port upon change * Abilty to connect driver to outlet light or relay device drivers which in turn allows you to view the correct icon on navigator interface or even eliminate standby power on AV based devices. * Ability to connect driver to keypad buttons (with LED feedback) to allow for quick on/off/toggle programming * On/Off feedback from the device. * Insight energy usage feedback to properties page and variables.Frequently Asked Questions Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver? * In Australia we do not have access to the Control4 outlet switch. As such we cannot easily integrate floor lamps, bedside table lights, fans, electric heaters, towel rails, etc easily. This driver fills in the gap to integrate these devices into the Control4 system. Are there any other cool things we can do with this driver? * This driver allows connection to the Control4 outlet light driver and any relay based binding. As such you can get the correct icon on your navigator and also bind it to your AV device to minimise standby power. * This driver can also detect power usage statistics from the WeMo insight switch. This can be useful for programming energy management based actions.* This driver allows connection to any Control4 keypad for ease of use programming. What hardware will this work on? This driver will work with the Belkin WeMo Switch (Model Number F7C027) and the Belkin WeMo Insight Switch (Model Number F7C029). It may work with other WeMo hardware however it has not been tested.There are so many WeMo drivers out there why should i buy yours? All WeMo drivers are based upon reversed engineering. As such they can all break at any time with a firmware update. Our driver has the ability to use the Houselogix auto update feature. As such the driver will automatically update to the latest version which we will release that fixes any protocol changes. How do I find out more information about the driver?

cdepaola Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Curious if this work with the Wemo Insight Switch? We've not been able to get it to recognize an Insight Switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Curious if this work with the Wemo Insight Switch? We've not been able to get it to recognize an Insight SwitchWemo insight is not available in this part of the world yet. We had a meeting with belkin on Tuesday to discuss integration possibilities with them. They will get us an early production model for us to use in the coming weeks.We are looking at integrating the insight and utilise the power monitoring capabilities for a few applications.

The Insight switch is common here, most of the big box stores from Target to Home Depot carry it, cant find a plain wemo switch at these stores at least in my area. Just an FYI and thanks for the reply. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zariaman Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Does the driver identify the WEMO motion sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have updated our WeMo driver to support the insight hardware including energy monitoring. Setup an event trigger to fire when the power goes over or under a certain value (great for monitoring & rebooting equipment).

Energy usage available via variables and properties page. Version #20150910 - 10-SEP-2015Updated SSDP code to resolve issue introduced in WeMo firmware - WeMo_WM_2.00.9399.PVT-OWRT-SNS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmarshall Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I have been using these outlet switches for a few weeks with great success so when I saw that the dimmer is now supported I decided to buy a few. Connected them this morning and have switch control but I don't see documentation on how to get these dimming from C4? Am I missing something?

So there is the generic driver which is used for on/off devices and the light dimmer driver. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waring192 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Hello, I have a dual load dimmer in my living room but also just bought a C4-KD240 (240V version of the C4-KD120) and have two lamps in the living room connected to a WeMo outlet. Is it possible to assign the lamps to the Control4 keypad at all instead of just using the remote, touchscreen etc? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
