The Signify Festavia supports Matter and many other smart home platforms.
Releasing under the Philips Hue brand, Signify’s new Festavia string lights will let people add an extra pop to their homes this upcoming holiday season.
Made up of 250 smart LEDs along a 66-foot (20-meter) cord, these color-changing lights offer a lot of flexibility and we don’t mean just decorating your house. You can control the Festavia lights through the Philips Hue app, saving you the trouble of having to crawl under a Christmas tree just to turn them off. The app also allows users to dim or brighten the lights, change their color, and even set a lighting schedule. And Linear Style can be activated to add a smooth gradient effect to the LEDs, according to Signify (opens in new tab).
Upon launch, Festavia will arrive with two new lighting modes: Sparkle and Scattered. The former, as you can probably guess, allows each LED to sparkle for “an extra festive look”. Scattered mode spreads five random colors along the string of lights. Candle and Fireplace, which are modes found on older products, come back to create a radiant, glowing effect reminiscent of analog light sources they’re trying to replicate.
