One of the perils of smart home devices is that they can reach obsolescence far sooner than their non-smart counterparts, as their companies decide that it's no longer worth the expense to support them.
Such is the case with about two dozen Wemo smart home devices ranging from coffee makers to smart light switches and plugs. Belkin, Wemo's parent company, sent out an email saying that it would no longer support the products, effective January 31, 2026.
