Goodbye Wemo Smart Switches - Belkin Ending Wemo Support

Looks like after several years of reliable service I will be replacing my WeMo smart switches, thankfully only two. From my understanding these will no longer work with Google or Alexa but can work with Apple HomeKit.

From Belkin:
After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to end technical support for older Wemo products, effective January 31, 2026.

What this means for you:
App Access: The Wemo app used to control these devices will no longer be supported after January 31, 2026.
Remote Features: Any features that rely on cloud connectivity, including remote access and voice assistant integrations, will no longer work.
Customer Support: Technical support, firmware and software updates, and troubleshooting assistance for affected products will no longer be available after January 31, 2026.

Note: Wemo products configured for use with Apple HomeKit will continue to function via HomeKit in the absence of Wemo cloud services and the Wemo app. For instructions on configuring and using Wemo devices via Apple HomeKit, please consult our online FAQs.

  • Sounds like they will need to offer full refunds, at least in Australia. Consumer has the right to not have support arbitrarily pulled.

  • At least they have HomeKit built in. If you're looking at smart devices today you should probably want it to have Matter and HomeKit.

    • Looks interesting and makes sense but from a quick google it appears my gen1 HomePod and Google home display are not compatible.
