AiDot has received more than 100 new Matter certifications for smart lighting products, marking the largest single certification batches for Matter 1.5 lighting to date. According to certification listings added Friday, the company received an estimated 136 approvals covering a wide range of light bulbs and fixtures.
The move follows recent adoption of Matter by major platform SmartThings and comes shortly after Matter 1.5 opened for certification. While the new specification does not introduce significant new features for basic lighting devices, the scale and timing of AiDot’s certifications stand out in a market where many vendors have taken a more conservative approach.
New certification across the product line
The newly certified products span nearly all brands operated or affiliated with AiDot, including OREiN, Linkind, Orein, and Consciot. The certifications cover a broad range of lighting categories, from standard light bulbs in multiple form factors to lamps, ceiling lights, and light sticks. Together, the filings suggest a push toward offering a more complete Matter-based lighting portfolio rather than isolated product lines.
Some of AiDot’s decorative and ambiance-focused lighting products are missing from the Matter 1.5 certification list. These products currently do not support Matter, but the new wave of approvals may point to updated Matter-enabled versions or future over-the-air firmware upgrades for existing models. Earlier this year, AiDot rolled out Matter 1.4 firmware updates for several light bulbs and added support for Apple Adaptive Lighting. Based on past updates, future firmware releases are more likely to focus on stability, onboarding reliability, and everyday usability rather than visible new features.
Linkind A19 E26 Smart Light Bulb
This Matter-enabled smart bulb set blends vivid colors, energy efficiency, and cross-platform connectivity—giving you smarter, more immersive lighting with reliable local control.
Linkind LED Light Strip EL6
A versatile smart LED light strip offering 16 million colors, music synchronization, and Matter compatibility for seamless smart home integration.
Linkind Smart Filament Bulb
A vintage-style ST64 smart bulb that pairs Edison looks with tunable white lighting and Matter-based smart-home control.
A new trend in Wi-Fi light bulbs?
Several certification entries reference dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity, a detail that is still uncommon in smart lighting products. Most Wi-Fi-based smart home devices continue to rely on older Wi-Fi standards and operate exclusively on the 2.4 GHz band, which is often congested in residential environments.
Chipmakers have recently begun promoting Wi-Fi 6 and multi-protocol platforms aimed at improving performance for Matter-over-Wi-Fi devices. Companies such as Shelly and Lifx already market products with Wi-Fi 6 support.
Shelly Flood Gen4
A smart water leak detector with a leak-sensing cord for broader coverage, real-time mobile alerts, and customizable safety protocols.
Shelly 1 Gen4
A multiprotocol smart switch with dry contact capability, ideal for retrofitting and smart automation with advanced control options.
Shelly 1 Mini Gen4
Shelly 1 Mini Gen4 is a compact on/off plug-in unit that supports Matter, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of smart home ecosystems.
Newer chipsets, including the ESP32-C5, extend Wi-Fi capability to the 5 GHz band for IoT-class devices. If pricing is considerably low for ESP solutions, this shift could benefit smart lighting by improving responsiveness and reducing network interference. AiDot appears to be the first major lighting brand to adopt this approach at scale, signaling a continued focus on Matter over Wi-Fi while Thread-based lighting ecosystems is still maturing.
Leedarson shows its scale
AiDot operates under Leedarson, a large smart home manufacturer that works primarily behind the scenes as an original design and manufacturing partner. Leedarson supplies products for a wide range of consumer brands, including IKEA, and routinely certifies large numbers of stock keeping units for different partners and regional markets.
By certifying an extensive lighting portfolio against the latest Matter specification, Leedarson strengthens its position as a supplier competing with established Matter lighting tech providers such as Signify and Tuya. Large early certification batches typically require deep involvement in specification development, interoperability testing, and pre-release validation. While Leedarson’s AiDot previously told Matter Alpha that it had limited plans around Matter 1.5, people familiar with internal testing and certification efforts indicate the company has been more involved than publicly stated. Leedarson could also be a major participant of Matter 1.6, adding extensive features for lighting devices.
