Belkin's Wemo Smart Home Brand Steps Back from Matter Standard.
Belkin's smart home brand, Wemo, has paused the development of Matter smart home devices and will bring new Matter products to market when it can find a way to differentiate them. Wemo updated a product to use Thread, the primary wireless protocol beneath the Matter standard, and released a new Thread-compatible smart dimmer. However, none of the new products are slated for future Matter support. Wemo is tapping the brakes on Matter, possibly due to concerns about its smart home gear becoming commoditized.
