Belkin ends support for most Wemo devices and its Wemo app

Belkin announced it will end technical support for most of its Wemo smart home devices and discontinue the Wemo app as of January 31, 2026. This decision affects a broad range of products, including smart plugs, light switches, bulbs, baby monitors, kitchen appliances, heaters, air purifiers, and motion sensors. After this date, features relying on cloud connectivity—such as remote access and voice integrations—will cease to function, and Belkin will no longer provide technical support, firmware updates, or troubleshooting. However, devices still under warranty at the end-of-life date and those configured for Apple’s HomeKit will continue to operate without Wemo’s cloud services. Belkin explained the move as a strategic shift to focus resources on other parts of its business amid evolving technology, acknowledging the inconvenience this will cause customers. This trend of discontinuing support for older smart home products is becoming common in the industry, with companies like Google similarly phasing out older Nest devices to encourage upgrades.
