SwitchBot has announced a new series of smart lighting products that work with Matter, a standard for smart home devices. The company, which is based in Tokyo, shared that this new Matter-enabled Light Series is designed to add more options for people who want connected lighting in their homes. These new lights use WiFi and are meant to fit into many different spaces while working with other smart home devices.
The Matter-enabled Light Series includes several types of lights. SwitchBot says this series supports smoother control and easier setup, which can help people who want to use smart lights but may not be comfortable with long or difficult installation steps. These products are built to be flexible, so they can be used in many rooms and adjusted for different needs, such as relaxing at home or working. The company is focusing on making the lights easy to manage through apps and voice assistants.
SwitchBot points out that using Matter makes their new lights work with many smart home brands. Matter is a standard that allows devices from different companies to work together, so users are not limited to one brand or app. This means someone could set up SwitchBot lights with other Matter-supported products in the same home, using the same app or voice assistant to control everything. The lights support Matter-over-WiFi, so a home’s existing internet connection is enough for setup and daily use.
With the new series, SwitchBot is trying to offer lights that are more personalized for each user. The company says the lights can adjust to different times of day or activities, helping users change the mood of a room. People can use simple controls on their phone or by talking to a voice assistant. SwitchBot is also promoting the security and privacy of its products, mentioning that Matter is designed to keep user data safe and to work reliably.
The launch of this product line adds to the company’s existing group of connected devices, which already includes other smart home tools. SwitchBot says it wants to give users more choices for automating their homes, with a focus on products that are simple to use and that work well with other brands. The new lights are now available, and SwitchBot plans to keep adding more Matter-enabled products in the future.
