At IFA 2024, Govee revealed launch dates for a veritable rat king of Matter-enabled decorative lighting. These include smart string lights, curtain lights, and Govee’s first icicle-style smart lights. The company also has two sets of strip lights to follow up its M1 Matter strip, and… listen, it’s a lot of lights.
‘Tis (sort of, almost) the season, so let’s start with Govee’s new holiday lights. The company says all are IP65 waterproof-rated, so they should be good for indoor or outdoor installation, and they’re all Matter-compatible, meaning you can use them with any smart home ecosystem that uses the one smart home standard to rule them all. All are coming to the US and the EU.
