SwitchBot has released its first Permanent Outdoor Lights, a 30-metre system with native Matter over Wi-Fi and a listed US price of $189.99. It works with compatible Matter platforms without a SwitchBot hub, though a Matter controller is still needed, and advanced effects remain in the SwitchBot app.
SwitchBot has released its first Permanent Outdoor Lights, a 30-metre lighting system that combines multicolour effects, adjustable white illumination and native Matter over Wi-Fi. The system is available through SwitchBot’s online store and Amazon.com for a recommended retail price of US$189.99, according to the product report.
The kit consists of six five-metre sections containing 72 light units. Included extension cables can bridge unlit gaps, allowing the installation to span up to 36 metres, though the illuminated portion remains 30 metres. SwitchBot describes the product as designed to stay outdoors year-round, for uses such as rooflines, entrances, patios, balconies and pergolas.
The lights use an RGBIC+WW design: colour LEDs are paired with separate warm- and cool-white LEDs, while integrated control chips let sections show different colours at the same time. SwitchBot lists up to 16 million colours, adjustable white colour temperatures from 2,700K to 6,500K, and brightness control from 1% to 100% in its app. Each light unit is rated for up to 40 lumens; SwitchBot lists a maximum system output of 2,600 lumens.
With Matter over Wi-Fi built in, the lights can be added to compatible platforms including Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant without a SwitchBot hub. A Matter controller is still required. The SwitchBot app is needed for manufacturer-specific options such as dynamic effects, music synchronisation, detailed colour settings, schedules and timers. The product report says the system can also be controlled with the included wired controller, which offers basic switching and ten brightness levels.
Matter Cuts the Hub Requirement
The launch gives buyers a way to add permanent outdoor lighting to a Matter-compatible smart home without buying a SwitchBot hub. That can make setup more direct for households already using a supported platform, and lets the lights operate alongside products from other manufacturers in scenes and automations where the platform supports them.
There is still a distinction between platform-level control and the full feature set. Matter provides access to supported lighting controls, but the SwitchBot app remains necessary for advanced effects. Apple Home users also need a suitable Apple home hub for remote access and automations, according to the source report. The product therefore reduces one hardware requirement without removing all platform or app dependencies.
The combination of decorative colour effects and dedicated white LEDs also makes the system serve two roles: seasonal displays and everyday outdoor illumination. Its year-round design may reduce the need to put up and take down temporary lights, although installation conditions and mounting choices will affect how well it suits a particular home.

Built for Year-Round Mounting
The product report describes the light sections as IP67-rated, meaning they are protected against dust and can withstand temporary immersion in water. The controller and power adapter have an IP65 rating: they are protected against dust and water jets but should not be submerged. Their placement therefore needs more care than the light sections themselves.
SwitchBot says the system uses UV-resistant materials and is rated to operate between -20°C and 60°C. It gives the LEDs a rated lifespan of up to 55,000 hours. These are manufacturer specifications reported by Homekit News and Reviews, not independent testing results.
Mounting uses 3M adhesive pads or screws. The report describes adhesive as an option for compatible smooth surfaces, while screws are intended for rougher materials such as brick, concrete and wood. The six sections and extension cables offer routing flexibility, but the product’s permanent-installation purpose makes choosing suitable attachment points and protecting the controller and adapter relevant to setup.

Key Questions
How much do SwitchBot’s Permanent Outdoor Lights cost?
The reported recommended retail price is US$189.99 for the 30-metre system. It is listed as available through SwitchBot’s online store and Amazon.com.
Do the lights need a SwitchBot hub?
No SwitchBot hub is required to connect them to a compatible Matter platform because the system has Matter over Wi-Fi built in. A Matter controller is still needed, and some platform features may have separate requirements.
Can the lights connect to Apple Home?
Yes. The product report lists Apple Home among the compatible Matter platforms. A suitable Apple home hub is still required for remote access and Apple Home automations.
Can the lights produce ordinary white light?
Yes. Separate warm- and cool-white LEDs provide adjustable white illumination, with a stated colour-temperature range of 2,700K to 6,500K. The SwitchBot app also provides colour and effect controls.
Are all features available in third-party smart-home apps?
No. Matter platforms can control supported lighting properties, but the report says features such as dynamic effects, music synchronisation, detailed colour settings and schedules require the SwitchBot app.
