Most of your smart home lights are smaller bulbs and outlet adaptors, but the market is maturing to the point where we are seeing full hardwired fixtures that integrate natively with Apple Home (via Matter). SwitchBot just recently released the new SwitchBot RGBICWW ceiling light. It brings incredibly bright illumination and native Matter support directly to your overhead ceiling lights.
HomeKit Weekly is a series focused on smart home accessories, automation tips and tricks, and everything to do with Apple’s smart home framework.
Native Matter and Apple Home integration
The most important detail about this new ceiling light is that it supports Matter right out of the box without the need for a SwitchBot Hub. As long as your Apple TV 4K or HomePod is online, the light connects directly to your existing ecosystem over your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
