Description

I have added a WeMo out node and added the ip address (and tried with the port as well) of the WeMo but whenever I try and trigger it I get this error:

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND

I got the Ip Address from the network view of my PC which lists the switch.

The switch is on and controllable from the app on my mobile.

What am I doing wrong?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the WeMo out-node configuration with the reported IP address and optional port, then inspect where the node resolves or connects to the device. Compare the failing setup with the fact that the switch is reachable from the mobile app. Done means identifying the cause of the ENOTFOUND error and confirming a working configuration or a documented limitation.
