Logitech makes his pop switch unusable

The accessory manufacturer Logitech is currently sending emails to owners with the information that the switch and the associated hub will lose all of their functionality on October 15, 2025. The 130 euro system will soon become electronic waste.

“We would like to inform you that we will set the service for the Logitech pop button. We have maintained the pop ecosystem for almost a decade, but due to the technological development, we have decided to set the support for this device,” says the mail, which among other things in Harmony remote forum is shared.

It is also said that the owner of Logitech Pop will be granted a pricing of 15 percent in the stores of the Logitech brands-including Logitech G and Ultimate Ears. The voucher code was valid until March 31, 2026.

Pop not the first victim

Logitech pop switch was introduced in 2018 and serves as a physical replacement for the smartphone app to use various smart home devices. The system supports 14 systems, including Philips Hue, Sonos, Fritzbox, Lifx, Lightify, Wemo and can be integrated into Ifttt as well as Apple’s HomeKit.

Logitech had switched off repeated functions and products in the past. At the end of the 2017, Logitech, for example, deactivated the cloud service that was required for the operation of the Harmony Link universal remote service. The device became unusable. According to the user criticism, the company offered a free exchange for a newer device. In September 2018, Logitech then removed several functions by update, including the voice assistant Alexa, from some Ultimate Ears speakers.
