“For any Wemo devices you have that are out of warranty, will not work with HomeKit, or if you are unable to use HomeKit, we recommend disposing of these devices at an authorized e-waste recycling center.”

Belkin is killing cloud services for 27 Wemo product models sold between 2015 and 2023, effective January 2026. Their helpful suggestion for affected customers is to throw their stuff in the recycling bin. They are still selling affected devices on Amazon without disclosing the shutdown. US PIRG estimates at least 130 million pounds of e-waste has been created by expired software and canceled cloud services since 2014. Every smart home purchase is a bet that the company will keep caring, and the house always wins.
