Wemo Sunset: Belkin Shuts Down Cloud Features, Urges HomeKit Migration

Belkin will end support for most Wemo smart-home devices by Jan. 31, 2026, shutting down the Wemo app and cloud services; as a result, cloud-based features like remote access, schedules, and integrations with Alexa and Google Assistant will stop working, and devices will no longer function as smart devices even if the hardware powers on. A subset of Wemo devices compatible with Apple HomeKit can continue working if users migrate before the deadline, while older devices may not support HomeKit and should be reset and recycled. Refunds may be available for in-warranty devices after the end date, but eligibility varies. Users should migrate to Apple HomeKit or replace devices and remove the Wemo app after services shut down.
