LOL one of the ham radio folk's on our net has "lost control" of all the time on his devices due to the time change because all his Wemo devices have been obsoleted. Now he has to replace all of them. #InternetOfCrap #Wemo

For many readers, more snow is the last thing they want to see right now…but what if it comes in the form of an online simulator in the style of an old DOS game? Created by [Potch], it works …

It looks like #Wemo switches have retained their settings but now with no way of changing them. So I now have 2 stuck on away mode and another that turns itself off after 20 mins. Was this known? I just assumed they'd stop working.

Today’s project: Replace the Wemo’s!

That's why I only bought smart home stuff that's not dependent on manufacturer infrastructure but can all be controlled locally.

Light switches...

light bulbs and outlets... and apparently a crock pot and coffee maker. LOL.

Wow... Wonder how many people will be sitting in the dark and stuff not working suddenly and not realize it's because their "smart home" product has stopped working. Announced awhile back, but... still.

WEMO: "After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to end technical support for older Wemo products, effective January 31, 2026. After this date, several Wemo products will no longer be controllable through the Wemo app. Any features that rely on cloud connectivity, including remote access and voice assistant integrations, will no longer work. "

Ordered a bunch of Kasa smart plugs to replace ours yesterday… 🙄

PSA: If you have older #Wemo smart plugs or other connected devices, make sure they are connected to Apple HomeKit if you want to keep using them after Saturday. Belkin is ending support for the Wemo app. https://www.belkin.com/support-article/?articleNum=335419
