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

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
