Where OSRAM fits in a smart home

OSRAM-branded smart products come from LEDVANCE's SMART+ range. The Zigbee products join a Zigbee hub or gateway you already own, such as a Hue Bridge, Home Assistant with a Zigbee radio or Homey. The newer SMART+ app handles Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Matter products, and its App Store listing says Zigbee devices are not compatible with it.

That suits people who want low-cost lights inside an existing smart home, especially Home Assistant or Homey. It is less simple if you want one app for every OSRAM product, because the connection type varies by model, and the LIGHTIFY gateway and cloud no longer exist.

Apps

SMART+ (LEDVANCE)

The current app for LEDVANCE SMART+ products, which the App Store listing says combines LEDVANCE and OSRAM features since version 2.0.x. It covers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Matter devices with schedules, scenes and automations, and states that Zigbee devices are not compatible. It replaces the former separate SMART+ Bluetooth and SMART+ WiFi apps, which LEDVANCE says were removed from the app stores. Published by LEDVANCE GmbH. The Android link uses the package name found on app-analytics sites, and we could not load the Google Play page to confirm it.

iPhone Android

OSRAM LIGHTIFY (discontinued)

The former OSRAM Zigbee system with its own gateway and app. Osram shut down the LIGHTIFY cloud server on 31 August 2021, after which only local functions remained. We did not look for a current store listing.
