TIP: How to reset Wemo devices

I have had multiple issues with my Wemo devices (LEDs and Insight Sw where they suddenly become unresponsive, I have also seen that the status returned by the device is actualy incorrect. a Bulb when queried saying its On when it is certainly not.

I recently came across this post and thought it was worth a repost on this board as a TIP for others.

Easy Reset


**WeMo Light Switches:**
Hold down reset until it blinks amber and green
Roughly 30 to 60 seconds in total

**WeMo Motion Senors, Switches and Links:**
Unplug the WeMo
Hold down the reset button
Plug the WeMo in
Release the reset button a few seconds after it starts flashing amber
Once the WeMo is flashing amber and green the reset is complete

**WeMo Bulbs:**
Start with bulb on for 5 seconds
Switch bulb off for 5 seconds
Switch bulb on for 5 seconds
Switch bulb off for 5 seconds
Switch bulb on for 5 seconds
Switch bulb off for 5 seconds
Switch bulb on
After 5 seconds the WeMo bulb should blink 3 times and the reset is complete
