A Mongoose OS library emulating WEMO UPnP plugs in Amazon Alexa

Alexa WEMO emulation for Mongoose OS

A library for Mongoose OS to emulate a WEMO UPnP plug in Amazon Alexa. It is possible to emulate more than one plug per device.

Usage

Add a new instance using

bool alexa_wemo_add_instance(char *name, int relay_pin);

where name is the friendly name of the emulated device, and relay_pin the GPIO pin to toggle. Returns true if no error occurred. Each instance emulates a separate device, and there is a limit of 16 instances per device, so a single esp8266 can emulate max. 16 plugs to toggle max. 16 GPIO pins. Adding more than two instances per device, however, can currently lead to unstable behaviour.

Due to limitations in Alexas UPnP implementation for WEMO devices, each added instance will bind to a separate port, starting with the one specified in the libraries config.
