Belkin has announced that it’s made the “difficult decision” to end support for almost its entire line of Wemo smart home devices from January 31st, 2026. The only models that will continue to work after that date are those that have been configured through Apple HomeKit.
The news was shared in an email to customers and on Belkin’s website, and confirms that from next February onwards, “Any features that rely on cloud connectivity, including remote access and voice assistant integrations, will no longer work.” The company will also stop providing technical support and troubleshooting assistance after that date, and the Wemo app will no longer receive updates.
Some Wemo devices will continue to work. Three Wemo products (SKUs WLS0503, WSC010, WSP100) based on the Thread protocol, and its video doorbell (WDC010) will work as normal through HomeKit. Other Wemo products that are compatible with HomeKit will also carry on working through the Apple network so long as they’re configured before January 31st.
Belkin says that if your Wemo product is still under warranty when support ends, you may be eligible for a “partial refund,” though it won’t begin processing those refunds before that date.
This doesn’t come as a total surprise. Belkin backed away from its support of the Matter smart home standard in 2023, announcing it would “take a big step back, regroup, and rethink” its approach to smart home hardware. It hasn’t released any new Wemo products since then.
Correction, July 11th: Belkin describes the WDC010 doorbell as Thread-based. It is not, but will still continue working after support ends.
