Wemo
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Cons
- The manufacturer can also cripple or end support them at will (see Wemo and older Nest thermostats and other Nest products).
- Looking to replace my WeMo that is losing support soon.
- Buy quality (I’m looking at you Wemo) that doesn’t rely on a solid server so that if a service is discontinued, your devices still work.
- I’m looking to replace all my wemo based things now they are going to be shutting down their ecosystem
- You don't want devices that can end up like Wemo or Sengled.

Belkin is no longer supporting the Wemo line come Jan 2026, so I want to replace them.
I've used Wemo for over a decade, and since they are sunsetting the brand and cloud services... I'm looking for recommendations.
The whole wemo shutting down thing just shows you can't trust any of the companies. You can spend thousands of dollars on their product only for them to brick them.
Overall, these options should all be compatible with future smart home systems and can be protected from what is happening to Wemo and Sengled at the moment.
It feels like they stopped supporting their products years ago
