| Not named | Works | WiFi devices, no dongle neededSaved copyI went with the WeMo switches and outlets. They operate over wifi and get an IP address via DHCP like everything else, so as such there are no dongles / usb sticks / etc needed.

| Not named | Works Local | Works in Home Native HomeKit pairing failed; HA wemo component republished them to HomeKit | Wemo HomeKit code unobtainable; wemo component used instead and worksSaved copyI am doing the same. In fact, I had a lot of problems getting my wemo plugs to work with HA as homekit devices (I cannot get a code from the Wemo App to add it to HA) so I turned off Homekit and am using HA’s ‘wemo’ component. All of these devices are then published as homekit devices where my iOS devices can use them in Home.app. My AppleTV is my homekit hub as well.

| Belkin WeMo | Partly works Local | Partly in Home Missing in Home app with auto_start; needs delayed start | Wemo devices miss HomeKit when auto_start enabled; delayed start workaroundSaved copy… Home Assistant 0.85 Last working Home Assistant release (if known): 0.84.6 Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.): Raspberian with docker and HASS.IO. Component/platform: https://www.home-assistant.io/components/wemo/ Description of problem: Wemo lights are no longer appearing in HomeKit when auto_start is enabled in the HomeKit component. If I disable auto_start and create an automation to HomeKit.start after 5 minutes then the lights show up. It would appear to me with the restructure of the wemo component in 0.85 to speed up startup, that now HomeKit starts before wemo lights … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #20032 · 2019-01 |
