Aqara launches strip with Matter

Aqara finally launches the LED strip “LED Strip T1". What makes it stand out from all the other LED loops on the market right now is partly that it works with Apple's adaptive lighting in HomeKit but also that it supports Matter of course.

The light strip comes in a length of 2m and can display up to 16 million colours. You have the option to extend the loop up to a total of 10m. If you need to cut your strip to make it fit your particular need, that's fine too. You can cut the loop into 20cm pieces.

With adaptive lighting via HomeKit, your HomeKit gadgets automatically adjust their color temperature according to the time of day. This way you will get a more harmonious lighting based on the daylight hours.

You can also control the loop manually if you are tired of automations and the mobile. Here you can read more about the loop and its functions.
