Another day, another smart device bites the dust – or a complete bunch of smart home appliances in this situation.
On Thursday, the consumer electronics company Belkin said he would end technical support Old Wemo Products As the application used to manage the devices as of January 31, 2026 and the application is no longer supported. Decision, Smart Draws, Light Bounds, Smart Boundaries, Baby Monitors, Kitchen Appliances, Heaters, Air Cleaners, Motion Sensors, etc.
In an email, the material explained its decision, said that it should change the attention to another place.
“This decision was not light,” he reads emails. “In the last decade, for the first time in 2011, we are determined to provide simple, simple use accessories for an innovative, simple smart home experience for the first time WEMO. However, as technology develops, we must direct our sources to different parts of BELIN.”
“We understand that this change can disrupt this change and sincerely apologies for concern,” the company added.
Belkin says the products are still under guaranteed products until the deadline may be eligible for partial refund The products that configured for use with Apple’s homes will continue to operate without Wemo’s cloud services and Wemo. The application will not be supported after January 31, 2026 and not already worked, as a remote entry or voice integration, it will not work.
The company will not offer technical support, firmware, software updates or the proposal to eliminate problems after January 31.
Smart Home Products move to cancel a line, leaving consumers without access to technology integrated into everyday life – it does not go offline only one child; More important. (Of course, the toys going offline can also be destructive. For example, sad farewell for robot companion Moxie.)
For companies, it is increasingly spread to support old Smart Home products without any technical reason. Instead, these actions allow companies – reflect their efforts to support their work as BELIN.
Google has recently announced a similar action by the decision to close old nest rigs.
In April, Tech Giants said would no longer support Its earliest generation nest learning thermostats. As of October 25, 2025, the first and second-generation models of the nest will cease to adopt updates, no longer work with the nest or Google Home application and not work with “dumb” devices.
Instead of dedicating sources to support the customer base, it is easier to send an offer by email to help you raise a newer version. In the work of the yuest, it is $ 130 from the 4th Gen-GEN thermostat, which is normal for $ 279.99. Although this can be a good agreement, it is not forced to increase due to obsolescence, despite their age, the devices do not go well with many customers.
However, this process protects Google’s classrooms from court lawsuits, which can result in this very smart device and the nest application at once. By encouraging these customers from the nest application and promoting to new devices, Google can claim that the use of older devices is in fact low enough. This can indicate such a suit and reduce any penalty or compensation that it is to apply Google and perhaps Nest.
In addition, it reduces the company’s legal risk to provide customers ahead of such actions.
In Bellkin’s work, everyone who went to Wemo for his intelligent house, will be very angry and maybe quite angry when it was not suitable for a return.
Belkin presented a complete list of affected devices that cover a wide range of smart houses covering many categories.
Belkin notes that this does not affect Wemon’s spinning-based products (SKUS WLS0503, WSC010, WSP100, WSP100), which will continue to work through Apple’s homecology.
