Overview

  • Remote access, voice assistant integrations, firmware updates and technical support for Wemo devices will cease on January 31, 2026.
  • All Wemo products sold between August 2015 and November 2023 will lose core functionality without manufacturer cloud services.
  • Only devices configured through Apple HomeKit or built on the Thread protocol will continue operating after support ends.
  • Customers with in-warranty Wemo units may request partial refunds starting after the end-of-life date.
  • Belkin says the decision reflects evolving technology priorities and a reallocation of resources away from its legacy Wemo lineup.
