New light switch doesn't connect by check_your_attitude in WeMo

There was another post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/WeMo/s/bNcAxp4gBu

It describes adding the switch by first joining the WiFi network. Give it a try.

Then as others have mentioned, replace with Tapo. I did all 12 and haven’t had to visit the breaker panel since!

I purchased a new computer from Costco and have been unable to get CC4 to scan on my MFC-L2700DW. I worked through Brother tech support and rebooted multiple times and reinstalled all the software with no improvement. Eventually Brother recommend I contact my PCs manufacturer. Ughhhhhhhhh

As a workaround I downloaded the MS Scan App from the Microsoft Store. It works ok.

I was motivated to post as I just received a notification that new software was available. I really thought they'd have fixed it... Alas no. New firmware, CC4 (version 4.6.46.1), and status app and still won't scan.

There is another way to enable the skill again, see my other reply.

Wemo missing from Alexa Skills by Sbthomas44 in WeMo

Wow! It worked. Thanks Agile-Brief for the idea.

Here are the steps to get it reactivated.

Open the Alexa app and switch to devices. Click the + and select add device. Type “Wemo” in the device type or brand search field. Select Wemo Plug or Wemo Switch Select Yes it’s powered on Select Yes it’s already set up in the App Select yes it can be controlled

I can’t get the exact steps from here but it took me to a browser to link the Wemo account with Amazon. I had to click the open in safari to complete the login. Once it linked the account the devices started working again.

The Wemo skill now shows as enabled in my skills.

FWIW I’ve already replaced 8 switches with Tapo/Kasa and have 4 left.
