- Logitech announces discontinuation of Pop switches, rendering them non-functional by October 15, 2025.
- Pop switches, launched in 2016, allowed control of smart home devices like Philips Hue, Sonos, and Lutron via Wi-Fi.
- Logitech offers affected customers a 15% discount coupon on select products, with restrictions and limited validity.
- The decision reflects Logitech's shift away from maintaining the Pop ecosystem, citing technological evolution.
- Concerns raised over e-waste and lack of clarity on local device functionality post-discontinuation.
