LEDVANCE has joined the Works with Home Assistant program with 116 Matter-over-Wi-Fi devices, covering a broad selection of lighting products as well as smart plugs and wall switches. Home Assistant says the devices underwent compatibility testing and that the program requires local functionality; the products connect over Wi-Fi without a proprietary hub or Thread border router.
LEDVANCE has joined the Works with Home Assistant program, bringing 116 Matter-over-Wi-Fi devices into the platform’s certified device directory. The lineup spans lighting, smart plugs and wall switches, giving Home Assistant users more products that have undergone compatibility testing for the system.
The certified range covers a substantial part of LEDVANCE’s SMART+ portfolio. It includes filament bulbs, spotlights, recessed and track downlights, ceiling and wall fixtures, floor lamps, and flexible LED strips. Many models offer adjustable white temperatures or full-color lighting. The report also lists weather-resistant options, including floodlights and garden spotlights, for outdoor use and products intended for bathrooms.
The certification also includes the SMART+ Plug and smart wall switches. These can bring conventional appliances and lighting fixtures into Home Assistant automations, extending the lineup beyond connected bulbs and built-in fixtures. According to the source report, all 116 products use Matter over Wi-Fi and connect through Home Assistant’s built-in Matter Server, without requiring a proprietary hub or a Thread border router.
Home Assistant says the devices were tested using its certified Matter integration over standard Wi-Fi connections. That testing is additional to standard Matter certification lab tests, according to the report. The Works with Home Assistant program also asks participating manufacturers to work with the Home Assistant team and commit to local functionality and ongoing compatibility.
More Certified Options for Home Lighting
The addition matters most to users building or expanding a Home Assistant setup: the 116-device lineup offers a broad choice of lighting formats and includes plugs and switches that can connect other household equipment to automations. Users can select among products in one manufacturer’s range while relying on the program’s stated testing for Home Assistant compatibility.
The program’s local-operation commitment is also relevant for people who want devices to keep working without relying on a manufacturer’s cloud service. The report says Works with Home Assistant products must operate locally and provide the functionality users would reasonably expect for their device type. That is a program requirement, not a guarantee that every feature will be identical across every platform or remain unchanged indefinitely.
LEDVANCE’s entry also adds an established lighting manufacturer to a program that the report says has included companies such as Aqara, Eve and Motionblinds. Its large, lighting-focused selection gives the program more certified choices in a category where people may need several types of devices across rooms and outdoor areas.

How the Certification Fits Matter
Matter is an interoperability standard intended to let compatible smart-home products work across supported platforms. The source report draws a distinction between supporting Matter and joining Works with Home Assistant: the latter involves cooperation with the Home Assistant team and further testing of products with its Matter integration.
LEDVANCE was established in 2016 after the separation of OSRAM’s general lighting business, according to the report. It continues to sell lighting products under the OSRAM brand through a licensing agreement, and its connected-home range includes the SMART+ products covered by this announcement. The report says the company has committed to continued collaboration with Home Assistant, which could allow more products to be considered for certification later.
The report states that the Home Assistant device directory now contains 517 certified devices. That is the directory’s stated total in the source material; no date for the count or breakdown by manufacturer is provided. The full LEDVANCE selection is listed in the Works with Home Assistant device directory.
“Participating products must operate locally without depending on cloud services.”

Product Details Still to Verify
The source material does not provide a publication date for the announcement, regional availability, individual product model numbers, prices, or firmware requirements. It also does not explain whether every listed product is available in every market or whether any device features have limitations within Home Assistant.
The program’s local-operation commitment and compatibility testing are described in general terms. The report does not give device-by-device test results or specify how long LEDVANCE will maintain support for each model. While it says the company may add products through continued collaboration, no future devices or certification dates are confirmed.
Check the Certified Device Directory
Consumers can consult the Works with Home Assistant device directory for the listed LEDVANCE products and check the exact model against the devices they plan to buy. The source report points to that directory as the location for the full 116-product selection.
Further developments may depend on LEDVANCE’s continued work with the Home Assistant team. The company’s reported commitment leaves open the possibility of additional products being tested, but no next certification announcement or schedule has been provided. More specific details on availability, model support and setup requirements would clarify how the lineup applies in different regions and installations.
