WiZ Connected is a Wi-Fi smart lighting brand from Signify, the company behind Philips Hue. It covers bulbs and other lights, smart plugs and fans, controlled through the WiZ app without a bridge. The same lights are also sold under several partner and Philips Smart LED names.

WiZ lights join the home Wi-Fi network directly, so there is no hub to buy. The WiZ app handles setup, scenes and schedules, and the lights accept local network commands as well as cloud control. Matter is available on updated devices, which lets Google Home, Apple Home and other Matter platforms control the basic functions.
That suits people who want inexpensive lighting with no bridge and a local option for Home Assistant or openHAB. It is less simple if you want advanced WiZ features inside another platform, because WiZ says Matter covers basic controls only and the WiZ app stays necessary for dynamic modes, custom scenes and dual-zone control.

The current app, which WiZ's developer responses and reviews call WiZ v2. It organises lights into rooms and groups, runs light modes, schedules and routines, music and TV sync, SpaceSense motion setup and Siri shortcuts, and is where Matter codes are downloaded. The listing says control works over Wi-Fi or remotely through the cloud. Published by Signify Netherlands B.V. The App Store listing is iPhone-only and requires iOS 16 or later. We could not find a Google Play listing through search, so no Android link is given. Several reviews report pairing and account problems.

|---|---|---|---|
| Connection | |||
| Wi-Fi | Yes | WiZ devices join the home Wi-Fi network directly. Home Assistant says no bridge or gateway is needed, and the app listing says control works over Wi-Fi or remotely through the cloud. | Home Assistant WiZ WiZ Connected (App Store) |
| Local network control | Yes | WiZ's FAQ says products accept local UDP messages, and that a Home setting can turn this off. With it off, devices accept only encrypted messages through the WiZ Cloud, control stops if the internet drops, and guest users lose access. Home Assistant and openHAB both depend on local control being on. | WiZ FAQ: local communication Home Assistant WiZ openHAB WiZ binding |
| Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread | Not mentioned | None of these are mentioned on the WiZ pages we read. WiZ's Matter setup tips only say the device must be on the same network as the Matter hub and do not mention Thread. | WiZ FAQ: Matter setup tips |
| Matter | Yes | WiZ says Matter is supported from firmware 1.29.0. Devices without the Matter logo get a certificate and setup code through the WiZ v2 app, and each device has its own code. WiZ says Matter covers basic controls only: on and off, brightness, colour temperature, colour and grouping. MacRumors reported in April 2023 that WiZ products made from early 2021 may be updatable and that older units might not be. | WiZ FAQ: Matter setup tips WiZ FAQ: What is Matter?

The App Store listing does not name Alexa, and we did not read a dedicated Alexa setup page. | WiZ Works with page WiZ Connected (App Store) Alexa Skills store |
| Apple Home | Official | WiZ's Matter page says Apple HomeKit can control WiZ lights through Matter, although Apple is not shown as a partner logo. MacRumors describes getting new Matter codes under Settings, Integrations, Matter in the app. Before Matter, WiZ lights worked with HomeKit only through Siri Shortcuts or unofficial workarounds such as Homebridge. | WiZ FAQ: What is Matter?

| Philips Hue | Unconfirmed | WiZ's Works with page does not mention Philips Hue, and we found no integration between the two systems in the pages we checked. | Searched, no source |
| Open platforms and developer access | |||
| Home Assistant | Yes | A built-in WiZ integration controls WiZ lights and smart sockets, including those sold under partner brands such as Philips Smart LED with WiZ Connected, AEG, SLV and Trio. It is listed as local push, needs the lights set up in the WiZ app first, and needs Allow local communication switched on. Occupancy sensors and power monitoring have limits. It is maintained by the Home Assistant project, not by Signify. | Home Assistant WiZ |
| Homey | Official | Homey's store lists WiZ Connected as an app published by Drenso V.O.F. and labelled Official on the page, and WiZ names Homey as a compatible partner. The page does not say Athom or Signify publishes it. The device listings give the technology as Cloud and say Homey Bridge is required, although the app description says no bridge is needed, so the requirement is unresolved. It lists Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server. Version 3.3.0 was last updated about a year before the page was captured. A separate app called WizLan by another developer also appears in Homey search results, and we did not open it. | Homey WiZ Connected app WiZ Works with page |
| openHAB | Yes | The WiZ binding is in openHAB's official add-on list. It works entirely on the local network over UDP and never contacts WiZ servers. It covers full-colour, tunable white and dimmable bulbs, smart plugs and fans, and it polls every 60 seconds by default, with optional heartbeats for near-instant updates. It needs the devices set up in the WiZ app first and local control left on. | openHAB WiZ binding |
| Node-RED | Unconfirmed | We did not search for or find a Node-RED node for WiZ in the pages we checked, so we could not confirm either way. | Searched, no source |
| Hubitat | Community | A community driver by the developer zranger1 controls WiZ colour bulbs over the local network and is installed by pasting Groovy code into Hubitat. The author tested colour bulbs only and expects on and off and tunable white bulbs to work. It is Apache-2.0 licensed. We did not find built-in Hubitat support. | HubitatWizLightDriver Hubitat compatible devices |
| Domoticz | Unconfirmed | We did not find a Domoticz plugin for WiZ in the pages we checked, so we could not confirm either way. | Searched, no source |
| Control4 | Unconfirmed | We did not find a Control4 driver for WiZ in the pages we checked, so we could not confirm either way. | Searched, no source |
| IFTTT | Official | WiZ names IFTTT as a compatible partner. IFTTT's WiZ service lists six actions and no triggers or queries: activate a scene, dim or brighten, pulse, toggle, turn off, and turn on or change light mode. The page does not say whether a paid plan is needed for WiZ. The page we read was a staging mirror of IFTTT's site and also shows Hubitat items. | IFTTT WiZ service page WiZ Works with page |
| Local UDP control | Community | WiZ's own FAQ confirms that products accept local UDP messages and offers a setting to turn that off. We found no official developer documentation for the protocol, and the Home Assistant and openHAB integrations are built by their own projects. | WiZ FAQ: local communication openHAB WiZ binding |
