The new integrations bring these devices directly into the Homey setup, signalling a clear push towards dual support for both traditional Zigbee and the emerging Matter standard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">The newly supported hardware lineup includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"6\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Classic and candle-style LED bulbs<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">PAR16 and P40 spotlights<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Flexible LED strips and tunable white ceiling panels<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Outdoor garden pole lighting<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Smart switches and plugs (including power-metering variants)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Once paired, users gain full control over power states, brightness, colour selection, and colour temperature via the main Homey app.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"8\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Enhanced Automation with Advanced Flow<\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">For power users, these devices integrate fully with Homey Flow and Advanced Flow.
