Ridiculous. Taking this as a warning — no more Belkin products for me.

#1 reason why i use zigbee, and if it can't be controlled solely by HA it doesn't go into this house.

Seen too many companies pull this. Logitech are the biggest turds on ny shitlist

We've now had more than 15 years of smart home devices. People should really know better than to buy into proprietary systems. But they don't, so companies continue doing shady shit, killing devices your bought, forcing paid updates, etc. All people see is it works with Google/Siri/Alexa and that's it.

Also half the kit ends up dying before the company does because its wire glued together and made of mouse shit
