Examples crash with Error: addMembership EHOSTUNREACH

[m-altmeyer]

First of all thank you so much for this great work! I just bought an Insight switch and wanted to try out your API but was not able to get the examples running. I tried 'insight.js' but always got the following error when calling wemo.discover(...):

Error: addMembership EHOSTUNREACH
    at exports._errnoException (util.js:1026:11)
    at Socket.addMembership (dgram.js:508:11)

The insight switch is in the same network as the PC running the example. Moreover I am able to control the switch using the official Wemo App. Do you have any idea what might cause this issue?

Thank you so much and all the best, Max

Seems related to node-ssdp. Which OS are you running?

[m-altmeyer]

I am running on Windows 10

[timonreinhard]

Can you please try upgrading node-ssdp to the latest 2.9.0 (e.g. by bumping the version in package.json and then running npm update)? If that still doesn't help, I suppose you create an issue for node-ssdp.

[m-altmeyer]

Thank you for your fast reply. I updated to 2.9.0 but still get the same error. I'll raise an issue at node-ssdp and I think this one can be closed.

Requires diversario/node-ssdp#66

If you're on Windows, you'll almost certainly need to install IIS. I had the same issue, and this fixed it. You can find a brief guide on installing it here.

Tip of the hat to Fullstack React authors, whose book I remembered saying something to this effect.
