I have one dehumidifier hooked up to a wemo outlet in my bathroom and it still works.
We’ll have to see if that’s still the case after February. I’m hoping these devices will still be controllable via third parties like HomeBridge, but I’m not holding my breath.
I also hope Belkin gets sued.
Edit: The HomeBridge plugin docs seem to say it works “locally” with no need to communicate with Belkin. 🤞
Check logitech. They fucked all thier universal remotes that were deliberately designed ( by logitech) to use their web interface for programming last year. Zero consequences so far.
As someone with a perfectly fine and functional harmony 525 i am still deeply, deeply pissed.
Sorry for the reddit link but it was first to hand, i’n having a hard morning and i am not fucking spending four hours digging at their shitty site to prove something they issued massive notices about
If you don’t let it update (by removing its access to the open internet), then after February you should still be able to do this. You’ll lose the ability to control it from outside the home via the internet/mobile, but it won’t be e-waste.

I have a Harmony hub and it’s still working. I just went into the config section of the app and it let me log in and that seemed to be functional too.
Ones with standalone apps work fine. But they very much fucked several products
