DiscontinuedBelkin Wemo Smart Plug (Wemo Mini WSP080 and WiFi plug line)
Compatibility
| Ecosystem | Support | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Alexa | Doesn't workVerified: does not work with this ecosystem | Dead since 2026-01-31 — Belkin shut down Wemo cloud services as scheduled, and voice assistant integrations ran through that cloud. The only survivor path is Apple HomeKit: units already configured in Apple Home keep working locally, which does not restore Alexa control. |
| Google Home | Doesn't workVerified: does not work with this ecosystem | Dead since 2026-01-31 — Google Home/Assistant control ran through the Wemo cloud, which Belkin shut down as scheduled. Only units pre-configured in Apple HomeKit retain any control (locally, via Apple Home); nothing restores Google control. |
| Apple Home | PartialPartial support — see the catch | HomeKit (not Matter), local only, and only for HomeKit-capable models (WSP080, WSP090, F7C063; WSP100 Thread) that were already configured before 2026-01-31. Belkin states new HomeKit setup is no longer possible after that date. |
| SmartThings | Doesn't workVerified: does not work with this ecosystem | Belkin's end-of-support notice says all cloud-dependent third-party integrations stopped when the Wemo cloud shut down on 2026-01-31; SmartThings is not named individually, but its integration was cloud-to-cloud and is covered by the blanket shutdown. No path to SmartThings control remains for the WiFi plug line. |
| Home Assistant | Not checkedWe have not verified this yet — this is not a claim about the product | Home Assistant's official Wemo integration is documented as LAN-local with no cloud dependency, but Belkin's notice makes no statement about whether the device-local API survives the shutdown, and new devices can no longer be provisioned onto WiFi without the retired app. Still officially unanswered six months on, with two dated data points that narrow it. Home Assistant ships and documents the integration as IoT class Local Push in 2026.7.4, with no deprecation notice. And a Home Assistant issue opened 2026-07-27 reports Wemo devices that were being controlled until a 2026.7.4 update stopped responding, with the devices still on the network — which implies units configured before the shutdown were working locally months after it, and that this particular break is a Home Assistant regression rather than the Belkin cloud. One unverified report is not a compatibility verdict, so this stays unknown rather than becoming a claim that it works. |
? Not checked means we haven’t verified that ecosystem yet — it is a statement about our research, never a verdict on the product. A Setup Check can research it for you.
Protocols: WIFI
Subscription reality
✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.
No subscription existed; the entire cloud service was free and has now been shut down entirely (2026-01-31).
Maintenance reality
- Cloud dependence: Yes — a server shutdown would degrade or brick this device
- App, remote access, and voice control depended on the Wemo cloud, which shut down 2026-01-31. Surviving control paths are local only: Apple HomeKit for units configured before the cutoff, and Thread-via-HomeKit for the WSP100 variant. Refunds: units under warranty on/after 2026-01-31 may be eligible with proof of purchase via Belkin's Wemo end-of-support form. Belkin recommends authorized e-waste recycling for units that no longer work.
Who it's for
A warning profile: no one should buy a Wemo WiFi plug new or used in 2026, because remaining retail stock cannot be set up. Existing owners: if your model is HomeKit-capable and was configured before January 31, 2026, it keeps working locally through Apple Home; Thread WSP100 units are unaffected; non-HomeKit models have no remaining smart function, and Belkin points in-warranty owners to its refund form and everyone else to e-waste recycling.
