Belkin WeMo apps crashes quite often.

This weekend I have been working with 2 new wemo light bulbs and an insight switch. Things were working quite well after a few hours. The trouble started when I wanted to change the WiFi network were these devices were on.
I have spent the best part of today finding out how to reset a bulb...  Finally I have all working again.

Trouble now is the app that keeps crashing. All, the insight switch, link hub and the bulbs received several updates. Could this be the source for the app crashes? I had 3-4 crashes within 2-3 hours.

Other people having the same experience?

Just found out that WeMo has some security issues:

Dank voor de info.

Ik vind het trouwens ook bizar dat een app die een lamp of schakelaar kan bedienen dit eist: 
>>De WeMo-app heeft van zichzelf toegang tot de locatie, bestandsopslag, camera, wifi-verbinding, adresboek, gebruikersaccounts en telefoonmogelijkheden<<

Maar ja, als je het niet accepteert heb je geen toegang

Kan het crashen iets te maken hebben met het updaten van de verschillende wemo onderelen?

I have the same Problem without changing the wifi. The app crashes every few hours and all my flows with Belkin devices also. When i disable the app and enable it, it will be ok and a few hours, the same. That annoys me by now.

After many WEMO updates for all devices, which take like forever, it seems more stable now. Sometimes the devices work > 24 hours. There was an update of the homey-WEMO app recently, I'm not sure if that helped.

This morning the WEMO app was offline again, disable/enable worked of course. Let's see how long it will be stable this time...

Jup, same issue here. Using the latests firmware. Created an issue for the app: https://github.com/athombv/com.wemo/issues/6

WEMO didn't make it 24 hours, I guess only 5 hours this time.... We are going the wrong way
