Description
Bit Switch Local-first Wemo control — no cloud required for discovery and control. Full device support: switches, dimmers, light switches, Insight plugs (energy), motion sensors, outdoor plugs, Maker, and bridge. Built-in Wi‑Fi provisioning: scan networks, AES-encrypt password for device setup.
What's New / Improvements
Device discovery made robust via SSDP/UPnP (M‑SEARCH → setup.xml parsing) for reliable on‑network detection. Improved Wi‑Fi provisioning flow with AES-128-CBC password encryption (see Wemo crypto implementation). UI improvements: clearer Wi‑Fi setup dialog, error messages, password visibility toggle, and status indicators for connection/handshake. Better state handling and error reporting when controlling devices (GetBinaryState / SetBinaryState SOAP calls). Dark mode and theme refinements.
Compatibility & Requirements
Device and phone must be on the same Wi‑Fi network. Router must allow UDP multicast for SSDP discovery. Android SDK: runs on devices API 24+; tested up to target SDK 36. Wi‑Fi scanning requires location permissions (user must grant at runtime).

Maybe I am just happy to recover all my old welkin plugs but this app seems to me faster than original wemo app. Still missing edit automation rules (device remember old rules but can not edit) and renaming device from wemo. Also smart switch on off state recognize correctly after close and reopen app but insight plug can not recognize actual state, always show off (it starts to show correctly if press on and off inside switch page)

After Welkin dropped support for my WeMo switch, I was ready to toss it. Thanks for giving it a second chance! App works great and discovered my switch, even without location permissions.
