Wemo Smart Plug (Matter)

The Wemo Smart Plug with Matter uses Thread protocol for fast, reliable local communication with universal smart home compatibility. This plug represents Belkin's transition to Matter, ensuring long-term compatibility across Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and other Matter-enabled platforms. The compact design minimizes obstruction of adjacent outlets while handling loads up to 15A.

Thread connectivity enables instant response times and continued operation during internet outages through local communication. The plug requires a Thread border router (available in newer Apple TV, HomePod Mini, Google Nest Hub, and Echo devices) for connectivity. Matter certification ensures this plug will continue working as the smart home standard evolves.

Unlike traditional Wemo products affected by the 2026 cloud shutdown, this Matter-based plug operates independently of Wemo's cloud services. Setup works through any Matter controller including Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa apps. For users wanting Wemo's quality with future-proof compatibility, this Matter plug provides reliable outlet control without ecosystem lock-in or cloud dependency.
