I have the first generation WeMo plug and it works fine with homebridge-wemo I was pleasantly surprised.

WorksMore reliable than native HomeKit after iOS 14

In the case of Wemo smart plugs, HomeKit integration for mine went kind of bonkers when iOS 14 came out, and homebridge solved my problem. They’re way more reliable now using the Wemo plugin!

Partly worksInitially only one device detected; later started working after plugin reinstall and waiting
Saved copy
I'm a first time homebridge installer, and its working with nest, but I'm not having as much luck with Wemo. It's detecting the one homekit compatible device that I have, but homebridge can't see any of the others (those are the ones that got me to try homekit to begin with!). I'm running the wemo plugin as a child bridge, and its on "auto", but only detects one device. I can see the other devices in my Wemo app (and on google home), as well as through my Synology router. I've tried switching the plugin to semi, and manual, but I couldnt figure out how to manually configure the devices one by …

Not workinghomebridge-wemo caused Homebridge to abort; switching to homebridge-platform-wemo fixed it for one user

Switch to homebridge-platform-wemo. The one you're using appears to be homebridge-wemo, which the developer has stopped updating. I had the same issue, and switching plugins fixed the problem for me. Hope that helps!

SmartThings

Not workingCommands from HomeKit did not control device

I'm having the same problem. It happens all the time with my wemo switches, zigbee light bulbs, and my Schlage Camelot z-wave door lock. I'm using v0.3.5 of the smart app and homebridge & homebridge-smartthings both seem to be up to date according to npm. It used to work fine for me up until I think the version that added the switches section in the smart app. This may be unrelated, but a couple days ago I added a good many bulbs and water leak sensors to ST and added them to the smart app. When I restarted homebridge I kept getting a rate limit error for a while. That error's gone now though.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
