LEDVANCE is a German lighting company that was created in 2016 when OSRAM spun off its general lighting business. Its SMART+ range covers bulbs, spotlights, strips, panels, outdoor lights, plugs and wall switches, and the current products are controlled from the LEDVANCE SMART+ app or from any Matter ecosystem.
Current SMART+ products connect over Wi-Fi (and in some older lines Bluetooth), and the newer Matter models use Matter over Wi-Fi, so no hub is needed. Older SMART+ Zigbee lamps are a different case: LEDVANCE says they cannot be added to the SMART+ app and need a third-party Zigbee gateway and that gateway's own app.
That suits people who want lighting that works in the SMART+ app and also in Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings or Home Assistant through Matter. It is weaker for anyone who wants to stay on Zigbee with LEDVANCE's own software, because LEDVANCE does not offer one, and Matter ecosystems expose only the features the Matter standard covers, so some SMART+ app features such as moods and energy readings are missing there.

The current app for SMART+ Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Matter products. It covers brightness, colour and white tones, scenes, schedules, sunrise alarms, grouping, energy readings for Wi-Fi sockets and alerts from outdoor lights with cameras or sensors, and it links to Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings. The listing says Zigbee devices are not compatible. Published by LEDVANCE GmbH. The Google Play link comes from a third-party listing index and was not opened on Google Play itself.
LEDVANCE says both older apps have been removed from the app stores, although installed copies keep working. SMART+ WiFi accounts carry over to the new app with the same login, while Bluetooth products must be deleted and paired again. The old WiFi app does not work with Matter products.

SMART+ Wi-Fi products connect to the home router, so no gateway is needed, and LEDVANCE says they can be controlled away from home. The SMART+ app needs a 2.4 GHz network.
SMART+ Zigbee products need a separate Zigbee gateway. LEDVANCE states that they cannot be integrated into the SMART+ app and that a compatible gateway and its own app are required. Partner systems named include Alexa on Echo models with a built-in Zigbee hub, Samsung SmartThings, Bosch Smart Home, Homey, Telekom Magenta SmartHome, Somfy TaHoma, Legrand Home + Control and Phoscon. Bosch, Somfy and Legrand work only with Zigbee 3.0 products.
LEDVANCE's FAQ says Matter over Thread devices need a Thread Border Router, but it describes current SMART+ Matter lighting and plugs as Matter over Wi-Fi. We found no SMART+ Thread product.
Current SMART+ Matter lamps and plugs use Matter over Wi-Fi and connect straight to the router. Products marked Works with LEDVANCE app or Works with SMART+ can be added to the SMART+ app, while some Matter products sold through Amazon cannot. Home Assistant lists 116 certified LEDVANCE devices, all Matter over Wi-Fi.
LEDVANCE's Zigbee pages say a separate gateway is required but point to third-party gateways. We found no current LEDVANCE-branded gateway page, and no sign that LEDVANCE sells a Matter bridge or controller.
The SMART+ app listing names Google Home integration. Matter products can also be added to Google Home through a speaker or display that supports Matter over Wi-Fi. Matter control covers only standard Matter features. LEDVANCE also says its older cloud-to-cloud Google Action does not work with Matter products.
The SMART+ app listing names Alexa. Matter products need an Echo that supports Matter over Wi-Fi, and the older SMART+ Alexa Skill does not work with Matter products. Zigbee lamps work with Echo models that have a built-in Zigbee hub, or through a partner gateway linked by skill.
LEDVANCE documents adding Matter products to Apple Home, which needs iOS 16.1 or later and a home hub such as a HomePod mini. LEDVANCE's overview page also lists Apple HomeKit. Only Matter-standard features are available there.
The SMART+ app listing names a SmartThings integration, and LEDVANCE's Matter FAQ documents adding Matter products through a SmartThings hub. For Zigbee lamps, LEDVANCE lists SmartThings as a partner gateway, but its compatibility table did not load for us, so supported models are unconfirmed.
Bosch's own page says SMART+ Zigbee 3.0 lamps can be added to a Bosch Smart Home controller by scanning the QR code, with no separate bridge or app. Colour options depend on the model.
LEDVANCE joined the Works with Home Assistant program on 13 October 2026, with 116 certified devices that were tested over Home Assistant's built-in Matter integration on Wi-Fi. The article says they run locally without a cloud. Zigbee is not mentioned. Older SMART+ Wi-Fi lamps were handled by community workarounds in Home Assistant forum threads, and we did not test or verify those.
Zigbee2MQTT lists SMART+ Zigbee lamps, for example a tunable white E27 lamp, as supported without the vendor gateway, with OTA updates. This is a community project, not published by LEDVANCE.
Athom, the maker of Homey, released apps for LEDVANCE SMART+ and OSRAM SMART+ on 14 August 2026, covering Zigbee and Matter lights and plugs. The Homey app page lists Homey Pro, Pro mini, Homey Cloud and Self-Hosted Server, and says a Homey Bridge is required for every listed device, with Homey v11.1.0 or newer. The launch article says Cloud and Self-Hosted users need a Bridge for Zigbee and a Thread Border Router for Matter over Thread.
LEDVANCE's Zigbee page lists Philips Hue among systems that use Zigbee and says its Zigbee products are easy to integrate, but it does not specifically confirm Hue Bridge support, and the Zigbee FAQ does not mention Hue.
