Supported devices will be automatically discovered if the optional `disable_discovery` configuration item is omitted or set to false or if the `discovery` component is enabled. If the `disable_discovery` configuration item is set to true, then automatic discovery of WeMo devices is disabled both for the `wemo` component and for the `discovery` component. Loading the `wemo` component with the `disable_discovery` configuration item omitted or set to false will scan the local network for WeMo devices, even if you are not using the `discovery` component.

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry with automatic discovery enabled
# Example configuration.yaml entry with automatic discovery enabled (by omitting the discovery configuration item)
wemo:
disable_discovery: false

# Example configuration.yaml entry with automatic discovery enabled (by explicitly setting the discovery configuration item)
wemo:
discovery: true
```

Alternately, WeMo devices that are not discoverable can be statically configured. If you have WeMo devices on subnets other than where Home Assistant is running, or devices in a remote location reachable over a VPN, you will need to configure them manually. Statically configured devices may be used with or without automatic discovery enabled. Example static configuration:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry with automatic discovery disabled, and 2 statically configured devices
wemo:
disable_discovery: true
discovery: false
