Belkin is shutting down a large number of Wemo smart home devices on January 31, including its flagship app
Wemo devices supported by Thread and Apple HomeKit won't be affected, but you'll have to set them up through the Wemo app before it shuts down
Belkin has also assured users that they may be eligible for a partial refund

The day that Belkin customers have been dreading is here, and the company is officially ending support for its Wemo range of smart home devices after announcing plans last year – and you have until January 31 to make the most of them.

When the day comes, your Wemo smart plug, switches, and sensors will lose their smarts, and the Wemo app and accompanying cloud features will stop working, meaning you’ll lose support for almost all of Wemo’s older devices. While this affects a large portion of Wemo’s products, there’s one exception – devices supported by Thread or Apple Home will still work.

Belkin says that the following Thread-based devices aren’t affected by the shutdown:

Wemo Smart Light Switch 3-Way 
Wemo Stage Smart Scene Controller
Wemo Smart Plug with Thread 
Wemo Smart Video Doorbell Camera

Since sending out a reminder email to its customers, Belkin has faced a wave of frustration from users who have relied on its Wemo devices to supercharge their smart home setups, but it’s not been an easy decision for the company.

“Over the last decade, since Belkin first launched Wemo in 2011, we’ve been committed to providing consumers with innovative, simple-to-use accessories for a seamless smart home experience. However, as technology evolves, we must focus our resources on different parts of the Belkin business,” the company shared on its help page, where you can also find the full list of devices affected by the changes.

If you’re one of the unlucky customers who’s impacted by the shutdown, here are a few things to note.

First of all, Belkin has assured that you may be eligible for a partial refund if your Wemo device is still under warranty on or after January 31, 2026. Refund requests will be processed after that date.
