Hi all,
So like some other unfortunate early adopters of smart home gadgets, I have a few Wemo smart plugs along with a single hardwired light switch. You can read more about it at belkin.com/wemo.
Hence I’ve been getting multiple emails from Belkin that Jan 31, 2026 is the last day of support for these devices, and they need to be onboarded to Apple HomeKit (which I don’t use much) to continue functioning thereafter. Of course I have all these devices configured in HA via the Belkin integration which is working well, as well as paired with Amazon Alexa currently.
So a few questions I was wondering about perhaps folks here could she light on;
Post Jan 31, I assume the HA integration should continue to work without interruption without the need for Apple HomeKit onboarding?
I beleive HA uses the pywemo library with local control without the need for a cloud service to be active, so I just wanted to confirm my assumtion was correct?
I expect Alexa voice integration will stop working however, if so can I replace this functionlity with the voice assist hardware puck from HA?
I’m mostly concerned about the single hardwired light switch, and replacing Alexa’s “Goodnight” routine to turn lights off at bedtime including the hardwired light switch.
Many thanks,
Tony
