Cleverio is the smart home range sold by the Swedish electronics retailer Kjell & Company. It covers plugs and remote switches, LED bulbs and strips, Zigbee sensors, a siren and button, heaters, an air purifier, a portable air conditioner and pet products. Wi-Fi devices are set up in the Smart Life app.
Wi-Fi Cleverio products are paired in the Smart Life app, which Kjell's own guide says is owned by Tuya Inc. and published by Kjell & Company, so they work as Tuya cloud devices. The Zigbee 3.0 products are different: Kjell's product page says they need a compatible gateway and names Athom Homey as an example. Home Assistant's Tuya integration covers devices added to Smart Life, but only through the Tuya cloud.
That suits shoppers who want inexpensive plugs, bulbs and sensors set up from one app, or who already run Homey or Home Assistant. It is weaker for local control and for voice assistants: we found no Kjell page confirming Alexa, Google Home or Matter, and a Homey user reported that a Cleverio plug could not be added through a Cleverio-specific app.

The app Kjell's pairing guide names for Cleverio Wi-Fi products. The guide says it is free for iPhone and Android, owned by Tuya Inc. and published by Kjell & Company, and that bulbs and remote switches can be found automatically over Bluetooth before choosing the Wi-Fi network. We could not confirm exact App Store or Google Play listing URLs.

Connection
Wi-Fi
Yes
Kjell lists Wi-Fi products such as LED strips and a portable air conditioner, and its pairing guide has you choose your Wi-Fi network and password in the app. A Cleverio plug manual specifies a 2.4 GHz connection; the guide itself gives no band.
Used for pairing. The guide says products such as LED bulbs and remote switches can appear in the app automatically if Bluetooth is on, then are joined to Wi-Fi.
Sensors, a siren, a thermometer and a multifunction button are Zigbee 3.0. The button page says a compatible gateway is required, for example Athom Homey. We did not find a Cleverio-branded gateway on the pages we opened.
Some starter packs are sold as plugs with a remote control, and a Homey forum user describes other Cleverio plugs as 433 MHz. Kjell's pages we opened do not state the radio type.
Kjell's pairing guide does not cover it. A Cleverio plug manual names Google Home among its voice assistant options, but we could not confirm support across the range.

Tuya / Smart Life ecosystem
Yes
Kjell's guide says Smart Life is owned by Tuya Inc. A Homey forum user also describes a Cleverio Wi-Fi plug as relying on the Tuya cloud, though the thread does not settle the platform.
Home Assistant's built-in Tuya integration covers all devices added to the Tuya Smart and Smart Life apps and signs in with a user code and QR code. It communicates only with the Tuya cloud. Cleverio does not maintain it, and we did not test individual Cleverio products.
Kjell's Zigbee button page names Athom Homey as an example gateway. For Wi-Fi products, Homey forum users report the Tuya Cloud community app working with a Homey Pro (not Homey Cloud) and no confirmed success with Cleverio bulbs or a Cleverio plug. An older Cleverio app in Homey was reported not working. No official Athom or Kjell page confirms support.
