WeMo Binding not working, nothing in log

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

Been trying to get the WeMo Insight and WeMo Switch (and the motion detection, although I can wait on that…) to work. The problem I’m running into is that I’m following the directions on the wiki, but when I start up the server, I don’t actually see any reference to WeMo or the devices in the log. I’ve tried entering in the names. I’ve tired it two ways.

Group Wemos

Switch WemoLight1	"Wemo Light 1" 	(Wemos) 	{wemo="WeMo Insight"}
Switch WemoLight2 	"Wemo Light 2" 	(Wemos) 	{wemo="WeMo.Insight.1X1"}

On my sitemap, I’ve added:

Group item=Wemos label="The Wemos"`

So I’ve tried the device ID and the actual device name as entered into the mobile device. I can control it from the iOS app with no issue.

I have the Hue lights working just fine so far, so it’s not just openHAB.

So basically, I dropped the addon org.openhab.binding.wemo-1.7.1.jar into the addons folder. I’ve restarted the server. I cannot figure this out.

Is there no entry in the log saying that the WeMo Binding has started?
Please try the 1.8 snapshot to be found on cloudbees and give this another try.
https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/distribution/target/distribution-1.8.0-SNAPSHOT-addons.zip
There had been some discovery issues with the WeMo devices.
Please read the WIKI for new configuration of the items.

I’m in 1.7.1. Should we be using 1.8?

EDIT. Link appears to be dead.

okay, so I tried 1.8, completely fresh, and I’m still not seeing anything when I tail the log.

It just sits there. Finds the Hue, but not the WeMo. I changed the names to exclude spaces. Still not working… hmm…
