Well, I am getting closer. I can now find my Insight Switch with UPnP, and I have a HomeItem that can turn it on and off and read the power consumption. Right now I am refactoring the auto-creation framework so it can handle auto-creation from the UPnP-Events. It goes a bit slow when you only get the odd hour in the evening to code... You can actually follow the progress in GitHub on the wemo-branch: https://github.com/NetHome/NetHomeServer/commits/wemo

So, now I have built a first rough version of the Belkin Wemo Insight switch Item. It is still a little rough around the edges, but it would be good if someone could test it a bit. It currently logs a bit extra while I am trying it out. To use it you must first create a UPnPScanner-Item. After that, you should be able to go to the Create/Edit-page and all Wemo Insight switches in the network should appear for auto creation in the bottom window. I will add more changes, but this is available in the nightly build.

I also added support for the ordinary Wemo Switch, but I cannot test it because I do not have one yet. Could someone help me out here and test if it works properly? It is in the nightly build now.

1) Go to the Create/Edit page
2) In the top window, scroll down to the ItemType "UPnPScanner" and press the "Create Item"-link to the right
3) Enter a name of your scanner and press save and activate

Scanner is created!

Now you should be able to press Create/Edit page again and hopefully your Wemo should show up in the bottom window.

OK!! Solved!!

I've stopped the Javaw.exe process and started again, finally could see that option!!
Something on Java was causing the issue!!
