No more WeMo

Since I moved house last November, I have been using some WeMo devices from Belkin that I have had for a while, but hadn’t used for a fair few years in my last place. These were smart plugs and smart bulbs.

The devices were reasonably reliable, but I liked how I could enable rules to turn lights of and on when I was away. Also being able to use an app on the phone to control the lights was another feature.

However….

It’s quite a big however…

Belkin are going to stop supporting WeMo devices from January 2026.

Well a recent update to the app killed it for me, so much so I can’t even access the app, so I can’t control my smart plugs or smart bulbs.

So, now looking at other options that are out there.
