SwitchBot is expanding its collection of smart home products, introducing an exciting new lighting series that operates with Matter over Wi-Fi. This allows you to link lights straight to HomeKit without the need for a hub or bridge (aside from an Apple TV or HomePod). The latest offerings from SwitchBot feature new RGBIC lights, a versatile neon rope light, and even a candle warmer lamp that can harmonize with your existing HomeKit scenes and automation. SwitchBot has had a successful run in 2025, launching several new products that integrate seamlessly with HomeKit.
### SwitchBot RGBIC Light Series
The RGBIC series consists of a floor lamp, strip light, and a neon rope light. Each device allows for complete color control through HomeKit once onboarded via Matter over Wi-Fi. The RGBIC lights can showcase multiple colors simultaneously, ideal for mood lighting, TV backlighting, or festive displays. SwitchBot has introduced support for both RGB colors and adjustable warm and cool white shades, giving you the ability to switch from vibrant scenes to standard lighting as desired. The strip light has an IP44 rating for light outdoor use, making it appropriate for covered outdoor spaces.
### SwitchBot RGB Light Series
For those seeking more straightforward lighting, the RGB series features the Floor Lamp 3 and LED Strip Light 3. These models forego segmented color control but offer adjustable brightness, 16 preset modes, and five dynamic effects. They function similarly to the RGBIC variants in HomeKit, allowing automation, Siri control, and color adjustments directly from the Home app.
### SwitchBot Neon Rope Light
Currently available only in North America, the neon rope light stands out as one of the more imaginative options in the range. You can shape it around furniture, shelves, or signage to provide personalized accent lighting. With its Matter support, you can adjust color and brightness straight from the Home app or incorporate it into your HomeKit scenes/automations. It’s flexible, simple to set up, and brings a playful touch to any space.
### SwitchBot Candle Warmer Lamp
The candle warmer lamp is the most distinctive item in the new collection and among the first of its type to support Matter over Wi-Fi. Rather than using a flame, it warms your candle with light, creating the same cozy ambiance without fire or smoke. Thanks to its Matter compatibility, you can manage it via the Home app and include it in your HomeKit scenes/automations. Picture saying, “Hey Siri, set the evening scene,” and having your lights dim and the candle warmer illuminate.
### Matter and HomeKit Support
What sets this lighting series apart is that all products connect directly to HomeKit via Matter over Wi-Fi. No need for a SwitchBot Hub or extra bridge. Simply plug them in, launch the Home app, scan the Matter code, and you’re good to go. Within moments, you can assign them to rooms, rename them, and add them to your existing HomeKit scenes or automations.
Since these lights utilize Wi-Fi instead of Thread, they don’t depend on a mesh network or require a separate border router. For many users, this is a significant advantage, as Wi-Fi coverage is readily available in most households. Matter offers the same benefits of privacy, local control, and support for multiple platforms.
For HomeKit users, daily interaction feels just like using any other native accessory. You can alter colors, fine-tune brightness, and incorporate the lights into automations, such as turning everything on at sunset or off when you leave your home.
### Wrap Up
SwitchBot continues to demonstrate its understanding of what smart home users truly seek: products that integrate with Matter and need no complicated setup. This new Matter over Wi-Fi lighting series satisfies both criteria. You receive native HomeKit control and adaptable options suitable for almost any environment or style. It’s encouraging to see SwitchBot consistently enhance its ecosystem with additional Matter support. Each new release makes the platform feel increasingly open and a lot more enjoyable to use.
