well, if you were even considering WeMo in the first place (even well before this vuln) you were 'doing it wrong'. a server with wifi in EVERY node is not the way to go about adding home automation. these devices you have no control over and rely on 'the cloud' have no business on your LAN.

WeMo devices don't rely on 'the cloud' and you can control them with local URLs they broadcast over UPnP. Nothing has to leave your network, and there are open source libraries for integrating them into your own projects.
