@hardiilb Yes I have paired the bulbs and I can control them from the wemo app just fine. This is what I'm getting now after adding the above line:

~# node wemo-light.js list
{ 's:Envelope': 
   { '$': 
      { 'xmlns:s': 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/',
        's:encodingStyle': 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' },
     's:Body': [ [Object] ] } }

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

OK, that didn't give me what I hoped, change the added line to:

console.log('%j',result["s:Envelope"]["s:Body"][0]);

Ahh, The difference is you have all your bulbs in a group. I've not done much with groups yet. I'm working on a new WEMO node, that should support lights and event notifications (state change updates). When I get some time to look at groups I'll update this.

amadtawakol I have updated the script to support controlling groups (no dimming yet, but should be easy to add) it's here: https://gist.github.com/hardillb/ffa9b458109fb8af7d0f

Hi

Is it normal that it takes about 3-4 seconds for sending a command ?

Thank you
