Key Takeaway

LEDVANCE has joined the Works with Home Assistant program, certifying 116 Matter-over-Wi-Fi devices including bulbs, switches, plugs, and outdoor lighting.

Summary

LEDVANCE, the company formed from OSRAM's 2016 spin-off of its general lighting business, has become the newest partner in the Works with Home Assistant program. The certification covers 116 devices from the OSRAM SMART+ range, all using Matter over Wi-Fi for local control without cloud dependency. The lineup includes tunable white and full-color bulbs, spotlights, LED strips, wall switches, smart plugs, and IP-rated outdoor fixtures.

What LEDVANCE brings to the program

  • All 116 certified devices use Matter over Wi-Fi, requiring no additional hub hardware
  • Devices communicate locally with Home Assistant; no cloud service needed for operation
  • Product range includes: filament bulbs, spotlights, recessed/track downlights, ceiling/wall lights, floor lamps, flexible LED strips, smart plugs, and wall switches
  • IP-rated options available for bathrooms and outdoor use (floodlights, outdoor spots)
  • Most devices support tunable white or full color temperature and hue control
  • LEDVANCE committed to long-term support under the program's certification agreement

Why it matters

The addition of a major lighting manufacturer with global distribution expands the pool of readily available, locally-controllable smart home hardware for Home Assistant users. LEDVANCE's commitment to Matter and local control aligns with the Open Home Foundation's goals of reducing e-waste and preventing vendor lock-in.
