The 20-page lawsuit contends that Belkin, in late January 2026, wrongfully discontinued support and cloud services for 27 Wemo smart home products, including motion sensors, cameras, light switches, smart plugs, coffee makers and other appliances. The suit charges that Belkin effectively rendered the Wemo devices at issue “dumb” overnight, given that it removed all web and cloud-based features without offering any operational alternatives.

Belkin, which had been in the smart home technology market since 2011, launched its Wemo suite of products with the promise that the devices, once connected to the internet, could be operated remotely via smartphone, the case says. However, on July 11, 2025, Belkin announced that it would be discontinuing cloud-based support for 27 Wemo smart home products on January 31, 2026.

According to the complaint, this massive change impacted the entirety of the “smart” services offered by the Wemo devices, including any remote operation, voice assistant integration with Google Home and Amazon Alexa, or internet connection.

“By discontinuing cloud services and app support for the Products, Defendant rendered them obsolete overnight,” the case summarizes. “They no longer function as ‘smart’ technology.”

According to Belkin’s website, consumers whose Wemo devices were still under warranty on or after January 31, 2026 may be eligible for a refund after submitting a refund request with proof of purchase.

For consumers whose devices were not under warranty but who still paid “premium prices” for what they believed would be an investment in smart home devices, the company has failed to offer any reimbursement, the class action lawsuit claims.

One plaintiff, an Indiana resident, purchased approximately 18 Wemo products between 2020 and April 2022, and spent about $595 in total, the filing says. The second plaintiff, a California resident, purchased a variety of Wemo products between 2017 and 2021 and spent approximately $400 on his purchases, the case states.

Neither of the plaintiffs’ Wemo devices was under warranty after they were shut down by Belkin on February 1, 2026, the complaint shares, and both consumers have sent Belkin pre-suit demand letters outlining the defendant’s alleged legal violations and providing an opportunity to correct its business practices.

“[Belkin]’s interference directly and proximately caused Plaintiffs and Class members' injuries by rendering the Products obsolete,” the suit reads. “The elimination of the smart technology capabilities diminished the Products’ quality and value and deprives Plaintiffs and the Class the full use of their personal property.”
