Aqara goes all in on smart lighting

Aqara has expanded its smart lighting portfolio with several new products, including a floor lamp and outdoor string lights, all compatible with the Matter smart home standard. These devices feature advanced RGBIC technology and multi-zone control for customizable home ambiance.
Why it matters
The integration of Matter support across a wide range of smart lighting products signals a shift toward better interoperability in the fragmented smart home market.
After showing off several smart home firsts at CES, Aqara has returned to IFA with a major lineup of smart lighting compatible with both Zigbee and Thread. One of these new devices is the Floor Lamp T1, which trades the look of a typical lamp for an LED-equipped pole attached to a base.
The lamp stands 4.6 feet tall, offering RGBIC lighting and 18 individually addressable zones. Similar to the floor lamp from Govee, Aqara’s new device emits light in the area surrounding it, creating a splash of color on your wall.
