Comment on Belkin is killing off parts of the Wemo Line
Zikeji@programming.dev 18 hours agoIf a device relies on any kind of external service to initially set up or function thereafter, do not buy. Regardless of brand.
This is what I strive for. When I was looking for a wall charger for my EV I was shocked at how there was only one option that wasn’t “cloud” based. And those aren’t cheap.

Insane. At the core it’s no more than an extension lead with a shaped plug. Some basic brains for safety.
If I had to go that route, I’d wall it off from the main network/internet at large.

I went with the open source one. Slightly more expensive, but has I wanted to I could have bought all the parts and assembled it myself, compiled the firmware, etc.
