“It also provides a one-of-a-kind way to light up any space through upgraded RGBIC+ technology, increased beads per meter for advanced luminosity, better-segmented control, intuitive music syncing, an abundance of customizable colors and unique modes,” it added.
The company previously supported different smart-home systems. But now, Matter allows this Govee smart light to pair with HomeKit for the first time. The company said:
Once connected via Matter, users can easily control the product using their preferred platform to turn the device on/off and change the color, temperature, and brightness settings. In addition, Matter provides increased security, as all Matter devices must meet stringent security requirements.
