Yeelight has announced the release of a new smart bulb that works with Matter over Thread. This product is an 11-watt RGBCW smart bulb that can put out up to 1300 lumens. This is the first time Yeelight has brought out a smart lighting product that supports Matter over Thread, which is a standard in the smart home industry. The company says this release marks a big step forward in its plan to improve smart home connectivity.
Matter over Thread is a technology that lets smart home devices from different brands work together more easily. Devices that use Thread can talk to each other with less delay and better security. By supporting Matter over Thread, the new Yeelight bulb is able to connect with a wider range of smart home hubs and voice assistants. This means people who use different brands in their smart home setup can add this new bulb without having to worry about compatibility issues.
The new Yeelight bulb offers a full range of colors and white light. The RGBCW label means it can produce red, green, blue, cool white, and warm white light. With 1300 lumens, the bulb is bright enough for many uses, such as general room lighting or accent lighting. The 11-watt power draw is meant to help keep energy use down compared to older light bulbs. The company did not mention specific details about the lifespan, but most LED bulbs are known to last a long time.
Yeelight says this new smart bulb is part of its goal to make smart lighting more convenient for everyone. By adopting Matter over Thread, Yeelight is joining other companies that are working toward a more open and flexible smart home market. People who already have Matter or Thread devices can add this bulb to their home and control it through their existing systems. The bulb is expected to work with popular smart home platforms and apps, making it easier to use daily.
Yeelight has a history of making smart lighting products for homes and businesses. With the launch of this new Matter over Thread bulb, the company is aiming to reach more people who want their devices to work together, no matter what brand they choose. This release is likely to interest anyone looking to upgrade their lights or build a new smart home system. There is no information in the release about pricing or where the bulb will be sold, but the focus is on the added compatibility and the technical features the bulb brings to the market.
