Wemo Lights Compatibility?

wemo lights are compatible with SmartThings Hub?

Of all my devices “connected” to ST my Wemo sockets/switches, at the very least, are as reliable as anything out there. Been well over 1 year (maybe even 2 years) since I have had any issue with any of them. Here is the catch… I dont use Belkin software at all and until recently did not use ST Wemo (Connect) app. Over the past 1+ year Wemo ↔ ST control was via a ST SmartApp (& virtual on/off buttons) talking to WemoServer (Java) written by MikeP. Wemo to ST was done with the same apps but included a PHP script. While this setup worked well it was a bit of a nightmare to maintain. Fortunately, I no longer have to.

Recently ST updated the Wemo (Connect) app which was a huge improvement but we still had these devices appearing “offline” more often than I lked. Ule, a member on this forum, rewrote/enhanced this app and you can find more info on it here

[RELEASE] Custom Wemo (Connect)

Hi, this is a new Wemo attempt to get a working wemo devices. The principal problem with Lan devices like wemo is the timer problem from ST, lan devices need the subscription to known the status, every time a change occurs in the device , this information its send to ST, but this subscription can be broken, by time or by problems in device. If the device is overloaded with request it can restart the config and lost the subscriptions, a new subscription must to received. If a subscription finish, because every subscription have a time limit, a new subscription must to be received. Then if ST timers fails, no new subscription is sent to wemo and no status its received. The secondary problem its a change in ip or port from device, most of the time a lan device like wemo retains the port …
