WEMO LED light questions about testing state

[Dale Drechsler]

Hi All,

Is it possible to tell the state of a WEMO LED lightbulbs? I'd like to know a) if its even powered one, as it could be off at the light switch b) if it is powered on, it the LED on or off. 

I can set them fine, but not sure how I go about checking their state. Trying to make them auto turn off after a while to save power, seeing as the native Wemo ios app doesn't support that feature yet for the LED's (it does for the switches)

Thanks for any thoughts, loving my wireless tags so far!

Cheers

Dale

Just click the "Update" button on the web interface or the refresh icon under individual tag (wemo) on iOS app. If the tag name background becomes green the LED is lit, white it is off.

Sorry, i should have been more specific there. My question was meant for can I check the state using a kumo app.

Thanks for the reply though.

OK this can now be done by using the .update() method (http://mytaglist.com/kumoapp/71/update)

This method used to only work for real tags, now works exactly the same way as the "update" button in the web/android app, i.e. refresh state of the wemo switch. The tag object returned by this update() method will have the lit property (http://mytaglist.com/kumoapp/4089/lit) updated.

Thanks I'll give that a try!

Struggling to get it to work, here's my code:

**********

var sensors = <#Front door_[12|13|52]_N#>;
var wemo = <#WeMo LED bulbs or switches_[82]_1#>;
sensors.forEach(
    function (sensor) {
        sensor.closed = function(){
            KumoApp.setTimeout(function(){
               wemo.update();
               if (wemo.lit){
               wemo.lightOff();}
            }, <%Number of seconds to wait_N%>*1000);
        };
        sensor.opened =function () {
            wemo.lightOn();
            KumoApp.setTimeout(function(){
                wemo.lightOff();
            }, <%Number of minutes to auto off_N%>*1000*60);
        };
    }
);

Which returns an error on sensor closed, something todo with the update() expecting some parametrised.So I;ve obviously done something wrong. Also, when I do get it working, what does update return if the  LED light is off?
Appreciate your help!

my other problem is that the following code (essentially minus the update call):

var sensors = <#Front door_[12|13|52]_N#>;

var wemo = <#WeMo LED bulbs or switches_[82]_1#>;

sensors.forEach(

    function (sensor) {

        sensor.closed = function(){

            KumoApp.setTimeout(function(){

               

               if (wemo.lit){

               wemo.lightOff();}

            }, <%Number of seconds to wait_N%>*1000);

        };

        sensor.opened =function () {

            if (wemo.lit==false){

            wemo.lightOn();}

            KumoApp.setTimeout(function(){

                if (wemo.lit){

                wemo.lightOff();}

            }, <%Number of minutes to auto off_N%>*1000*60);

        };

    }

);

Generates a "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request." occasionally, no idea why, any thoughts on that error anyone?
