Basic information

Industry Home automation
Also known as

Wemo is a subsidiary of Belkin founded in 2011. They are known for smart home devices such as plugs and light switches that use the Apple HomeKit and Thread protocols.

Consumer impact summary

User freedom

Screenshot of account closure screen.

Users have to delete their account through the mobile app. This prompts a warning that Wemos cannot be controlled through the app once account data is deleted. Devices can also work using the Apple Home app, which does not require a Wemo account to set up.[citation needed (June 2026)]

User privacy

Since late 2023, the privacy policy of Belkin and Wemo have merged, sharing the same terms with each other. The data collected on users includes account information such as email and password, device information, first and third-party cookies, age, location, and IP address.[1] Belkin shares this info with marketing partners unless the user opts-out.[2] Users are allowed to make requests to access, withdraw consent, object, and delete most of the information Belkin has collected on them.[3] Belkin states they may need to hold onto information for "Defending Belkin against legal claims" or "Needing to respond to customer complaints and queries."[4]

Business model

The business model of Wemo is to sell smart home devices without the user paying for a subscription service. Although this may seem like a pro-consumer move, the Wemo experience has been diminished due to the lack of income streams. According to the App Store, the app once had a 3-year window without updates, which lasted between 23 February 2021 and 28 May 2024 (the current version as of 24 February 2025).[5]

Market control

Market control of Wemo has been decreasing over the years, as Wemo is only selling three devices,[6] down from nine the year prior.[7]

Incidents

Discontinuation of cloud service (2026)

section excerpt Wemo discontinuation of service.[edit]

Belkin Wemo smart home devices require cloud connectivity to work. On 10 July 2025, Belkin announced the shutdown of cloud services supporting most Wemo devices, effective 31 January 2026.[8] These devices remain for sale on Belkin's Amazon WeMo store[9] and advertising them as working with Google, Alexa, & more.[10][11]

This shutdown will disable remote access and automation functionality for 27+ device models sold between August 2015 and November 2023, affecting thousands of customers who purchased these devices as permanent smart home solutions. The incident is one example of a broader trend of IoT device abandonment and software tethering practices that enable manufacturers to remotely disable purchased products.

DNS activity (2024)

Some users of Wemo have noticed their switches connect to multiple unrelated domains, such as to CNN and Fastly.[12] Other reports mention each Wemo device making 160,000+ DNS requests in a 24-hour timeframe.[13]

List of affected products from the discontinuation of cloud services

Connection issues (2018—Present)

Since 2018, there have been reports of Wemo devices having some kinds of connection problem. These reports include:

  • Dimmers,[14] plugs,[15] and switches,[16] losing connection to networks frequently.[17]
  • Device rules created through the Wemo app being unreliable.[18]
  • Wemo cloud going offline offline, with users being led to 404 pages.[19]
  • Amazon Alexa and Google home integrations not working for periods of time are also common.[20]
  • Suddenly devices restricted to only work with Apple Homekit.[21]

Security vulnerabilities (2013—2023)

On 5 November 2013, Wemo updated its API to prevent XML injection attacks published by a CERT advisory.[22]

On 16 May 2023, multiple websites[which?] reported a Sternum study regarding a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Wemo Mini Smart Plug V2.[23] The study mentions the device could be exploited through a program called pyWemo[24] and potentially through cloud controls.[25] In their official response, Wemo stated "we believe that bad actors cannot exploit this vulnerability unless they have access to the user's local network",[26] and "We discontinued the Wemo Mini Smart Plug V2 (F7C063) in 2020"[27] despite not making this information publicly available prior. During this report, the Wemo app hadn't been updated in two years, with the most recent update being on February 23, 2021, as previously mentioned.[5]
