The Belkin WeMo integration is the main integration to integrate various Belkin WeMo devices with Home Assistant.

In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge

What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.

Entity	Shows up as	Note
`light`	Light
`switch`	Switch or outlet
`fan`	Fan
`binary_sensor`	Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…)

3 reports below say how a device from this integration behaves in the Home app.

Belkin WeMo switch	Works Local		2021.7 setup failure was duplicate of a fixed bug Saved copy The problem Installed the latest HA core and noticed one (out of 4 total) of my wemo switched became unavailable. I tried rebooted HA, and the switch, but nothing was working. I finally uninstalled the Wemo integration and tried to add it back and get errors adding it back into HA. It says “Failed to setup” and below is the log.

WeMo devices	Works Local		Integrate into HA; schedules run on-device when HA offline Saved copy I do have some legacy WiFi WEMO devices that I have setup (with the WEMO app) with on-off with sunset/sunrise -- they keep ticking on their schedules even if the internet goes out or my HA server is offline. They integrate into HA as well -- and if it doesn't have HA integration, I'm not interested... Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23.	Reddit comment · 2024-08

Belkin WeMo lights	Partly works Local	Partly in Home Missing from Home app until HomeKit started late	Did not appear in HomeKit Bridge with auto_start; delayed start workaround Saved copy … 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 are configured, meaning they never show up.

Wemo 3-way light switch	Not working	Broken in Home Home shows switches flicking on and off repeatedly	Spurious on/off state changes; closed not planned Saved copy The problem I have a small number of Wemo 3-way light switches installed. They are in the Wemo app, in HomeKit, and in HASS. According to the HASS log, as well as the Home app UI, these light switches are repeatedly turning on and back off within a second during the day, every day. I can never see the lights actually turn on, either because the time is too short or it's a "ghost" or "fake" on-off transition. ### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? 2022.5.0 ### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core? _No response_ ### What type of installation are you running? … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23.

WeMo switches	Not working Local		Temperamental; several users replaced them with Z-Wave or Kasa Saved copy Wemo is hot garbage. The only 3 switches I have on my entire network (60+ devices) that give me any trouble are Wemo. They’ll be replaced with Zooz Zwave plugs shortly.
