LEDVANCE has joined the Works with Home Assistant program with 116 Matter-over-Wi-Fi devices, including lighting, smart plugs and wall switches. Home Assistant says the products were tested with its Matter integration and that program participants commit to local functionality and continued compatibility. The devices connect without a LEDVANCE hub or Thread border router.
LEDVANCE has joined Home Assistant’s Works with Home Assistant program with 116 Matter-over-Wi-Fi devices, adding a large lighting-focused lineup to the platform’s certified device directory. Home Assistant says the products were tested with its Matter integration, giving users an additional set of compatible options that connect over Wi-Fi without a proprietary hub or Thread border router.
The certified selection covers much of LEDVANCE’s SMART+ range: filament bulbs, spotlights, recessed and track downlights, ceiling and wall fixtures, floor lamps, and flexible LED strips. Many models offer adjustable white color temperature or full-color lighting. The lineup also includes weather-resistant products, such as floodlights and garden spotlights, for outdoor use and damp spaces.
Beyond lighting, the certification includes the SMART+ Plug and smart wall switches. These can bring conventional appliances and fixtures into Home Assistant automations. According to the source report, all 116 devices use Matter over standard Wi-Fi and can connect through Home Assistant’s built-in Matter Server.
The report says the devices were tested using Home Assistant’s certified Matter integration, in addition to standard Matter certification lab tests. Participation also involves manufacturer commitments to support local operation and work with Home Assistant on compatibility over time. LEDVANCE has agreed to continue collaborating with the team; the source does not identify additional products or a schedule for future certifications.
A Broader Choice for Home Lighting
The announcement gives Home Assistant users more certified choices for building lighting setups across rooms and product types, from bulbs and strips to fixtures and outdoor lights. The addition of plugs and wall switches also extends the lineup beyond smart lighting products themselves, enabling users to include some existing appliances or fixtures in automations.
For buyers, the program’s testing and local-functionality commitments offer information beyond a product’s basic support for Matter. Matter is an interoperability standard, but certification under this particular Home Assistant program adds a separate layer of platform testing and stated manufacturer collaboration. That distinction may matter to users who want devices to remain controllable locally rather than depend on a manufacturer’s cloud service.
The source report describes 116 devices as one of the largest lineups announced by a participating manufacturer and says the directory contained 517 certified devices at the time of publication. That figure is a snapshot from the report, not a current independently verified count.
How the Certification Fits
LEDVANCE was established in 2016 after the separation of OSRAM’s general lighting business. It continues to sell lighting products under the OSRAM brand through a licensing agreement, according to the source report, and has expanded its connected-home portfolio under the SMART+ name.
Works with Home Assistant is a program for products tested for compatibility with Home Assistant, rather than a synonym for Matter support alone. The report names Aqara, Eve and Motionblinds among earlier participating manufacturers. Their products span different categories, while LEDVANCE’s contribution is centered on a broad range of lighting and related controls.
The 116 LEDVANCE products use Matter over Wi-Fi. The report says a proprietary hub and a Thread border router are not required for these devices to connect to Home Assistant. This describes the connection method for the listed products and should not be taken to mean every Matter device uses Wi-Fi or works without any network setup.
“The certification covers a substantial part of LEDVANCE’s SMART+ lineup.”

Details Still Missing from the Announcement
The source report does not provide the exact announcement date, individual model numbers, regional availability, prices or a product-by-product feature list. It is therefore unclear which specific models are included in each category and whether every listed product is available in every market.
The report says participating manufacturers commit to maintaining local functionality and long-term compatibility, but it does not set out the duration or precise terms of LEDVANCE’s commitment. It also does not confirm when any additional LEDVANCE products might be tested or certified. The reported total of 517 certified devices is tied to the source’s publication and may have changed since then.
Check the Certified Device Directory
Consumers can consult Home Assistant’s Works with Home Assistant device directory for the listed LEDVANCE products and their certification status. Before purchasing, buyers should check the exact model and local availability, since the source report does not include a complete model-number list or regional sales details.
LEDVANCE and Home Assistant may continue working together on compatibility and possible additions, according to the report, but no further certifications or dates have been announced in the material provided. Any expansion of the lineup remains unconfirmed until the directory or the companies provide further information.

What kinds of products are included?
The lineup includes bulbs, spotlights, downlights, ceiling and wall fixtures, floor lamps, LED strips, floodlights, garden spotlights, a smart plug and smart wall switches.
