Belkin ends support for most Wemo devices and its Wemo app

Belkin, the tech manufacturer behind the Wemo brand, just announced that it’s ending support for the lion’s share of its smart home devices on January 31, 2026.

A Belkin support page ticks off more than two dozen Wemo smart devices that will go dark next year, everything from the Wemo Zigbee Bulb and Mini Smart Plug to the Wemo Coffee Maker and the Wemo CrockPot (the latter two products were launched back in 2014).

The few exceptions include a quartet of Wemo devices that run on Thread, which will still work via Apple's HomeKit platform beyond the shutoff date. Those products are the Wemo Smart Light Switch 3-Way, the Stage Smart Scene Controller, the Smart Plug with Thread, and the Smart Video Doorbell Camera. (All of the preceding links will take you to our reviews of those products.) Belkin announced the news on its website and in emails to its customers; 9to5Google was first to report on the move.

Belkin also says that any of its other HomeKit-compatible devices will still be usable on the Apple Home app, provided you set them up on HomeKit prior to January 31, 2026.
