Compatibility
| Ecosystem | Support | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Alexa | WorksWorks with this ecosystem[1][2] | Supported on two separate statements on WiZ's page rather than one, which is why this is the strongest of the voice cells. The marketing line 'Works with Google Home, Alexa and Siri Shortcuts' names Alexa directly, and the specification field lists it too. Recorded honestly about how far the checking went: the specification field was proven to be catalogue-wide boilerplate by fetching a second WiZ product and finding the identical string, while the 'Works with' marketing line was NOT control-tested against another product, so it may or may not be product-specific. The transport is cloud — a voice assistant reaching a Wi-Fi lamp with no hub goes through WiZ's service, and the local path Home Assistant uses is not the one Alexa takes. What is not published anywhere is the command set, so 'full' here means the platform is supported rather than that on, off, brightness, colour and scenes have each been documented as reachable. |
| Google Home | WorksWorks with this ecosystem[1][2] | Named twice on WiZ's own page — in the marketing line 'Works with Google Home, Alexa and Siri Shortcuts' and in the specification field's platform list. The same two qualifications as Alexa apply and are worth repeating rather than cross-referencing: the specification field was shown by control test to be identical across WiZ's catalogue, so it evidences the platform rather than this lamp; and WiZ publishes no command set, so the depth of control is undocumented. Cloud transport, since the assistant reaches the lamp through WiZ's service rather than over your LAN. |
| Apple Home | PartialPartial support — see the catch[1] | 🔴 Read this one carefully, because it is the fact most likely to disappoint a buyer and the page's own wording invites the mistake. The ONLY Apple integration WiZ names anywhere is 'Siri Shortcuts'. The words HomeKit and Apple Home appear nowhere on the page — not in the marketing copy, not in the specification block, not in the platform list. Siri Shortcuts and Apple Home are not the same product experience: Shortcuts gives you a spoken phrase that fires an action, while Apple Home gives you a device tile you can tap, a light that appears in rooms and scenes, automations that can address it, and something the rest of the household can control through Home. With Shortcuts you get the phrase and none of the rest. Anyone reading 'works with Siri' as 'works with Apple Home' will find out on the first evening. Recorded 'partial' rather than 'none' precisely because the route is real, first-party and named — this is not an absence, it is a narrower thing than it sounds. ⚠ This is the second product in this catalogue in as many days where a vendor's Apple story turned out to be Shortcuts rather than HomeKit; the Rachio Smart Hose Timer carries the identical shape. There is one theoretical route to a fuller Apple answer — WiZ's specification field lists Matter with the note 'Via 3rd party hubs (Wi-Fi)', and Matter would put the lamp in the Home app — but that field is catalogue-wide boilerplate proven identical on an unrelated WiZ bulb, so it is not evidence that THIS lamp is Matter-certified, and no Matter claim is made here. |
| SmartThings | PartialPartial support — see the catch[1][2] | Claimed, but on the weakest evidence on this record, and the weakness is stated rather than hidden. SmartThings appears only inside the specification field 'Compatibility with 3rd party systems: Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT, Matter, Samsung Smartthings, Homey, Siri Shortcuts, Enki' — and that exact string was found byte-identical on an unrelated $15.39 WiZ candle bulb fetched in the same session, so it describes the WiZ platform rather than this lamp. Unlike Alexa and Google, SmartThings is named in no other sentence on the page. Recorded 'partial' rather than 'full' for that reason, and rather than 'unknown' because this lamp is an ordinary member of the class the platform statement describes — a Wi-Fi WiZ light on the WiZ app, not an accessory of a different kind. No mechanism is published, so the path stays unknown. If SmartThings support is the reason you are buying, confirm it with WiZ for this SKU before you do. |
| Home Assistant | WorksWorks with this ecosystem[3] | ⊕ The deepest cell on this record, and it comes entirely from the other side — WiZ names Home Assistant nowhere. Home Assistant ships an OFFICIAL WiZ integration with IoT class 'Local Push', and its own description is unambiguous about the architecture: it 'allows you to control your WiZ lights and smart sockets. The devices are set up through your Wi-Fi network and don't need any additional bridge or gateway.' That is a fully local control path with no WiZ cloud in it and no hub to buy — better, in the way that matters most to a self-hosting household, than any of the three voice platforms WiZ actually advertises. The integration exposes light entities among several platform types. ⚠ One setting decides whether this works, and it lives in WiZ's app rather than Home Assistant's: local communication must be enabled. Home Assistant's documentation states that 'Allow local communication' can be disabled or enabled in the WiZ app and should be enabled by default — so if it has been turned off, the local path is off with it. Rated 'full' on an explicit device-class match: the integration covers WiZ lights generally rather than naming this model, and that is the claim on this record most exposed to a future per-model list proving narrower. |
Needs before it works: No. WiZ states it plainly on the product page — 'No need to install additional hardware such as hub or gateway!' — and Home Assistant's documentation independently agrees from the other side: WiZ devices 'are set up through your Wi-Fi network and don't need any additional bridge or gateway'. Two parties with no reason to coordinate saying the same thing is about as settled as this question gets. One qualification, and it is the exception rather than the rule: WiZ's own specification sheet says Matter works 'Via 3rd party hubs (Wi-Fi)', so the no-hub promise covers the WiZ app and the voice assistants, while any Matter route would need a controller you supply. That Matter line is a platform-wide field rather than a statement about this lamp — see the integration cells.[1][3]

None documented by the vendor
Listed capabilities are what we could establish from vendor documentation. An ability missing here is unestablished — not necessarily absent.
Subscription reality[1]
✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.
Vendor account required: Not established — we have not sourced this yet.
No subscription, plan, tier or fee appears anywhere on the product page. Recorded 'none' on that basis — an absence of fee language rather than a vendor promise that the app stays free. The architecture supports the reading: Home Assistant's integration reaches these lights over the local network with no WiZ account involved, which means the lamp's core function does not sit behind a service that could be gated later.
Maintenance reality[1][3]
- Batteries: Built-in rechargeable INR18650 (not user-replaceable per the published specification)
- Works without the internet: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network. A vendor cloud may still be involved in remote access.[3]
- Published specifications, recorded as read: 13.5 W; 400 lumens total; colour temperature 2200-6500 K; colour rendering index at or above 80; nominal lifetime 25,000 hours; 27.6 cm high by 16.7 cm square; 0.65 kg net; UL damp-location rating; two-year warranty; built-in rechargeable INR18650 battery. ⚠ The single most useful number for a portable lamp is missing: WiZ publishes no runtime figure anywhere on the page. A battery lamp whose battery life is undocumented is a real gap, and it is not filled here from retailer listings. On protocols, a deliberate exclusion worth stating: WiZ's specification block names Bluetooth alongside Wi-Fi, but the page documents no control path over Bluetooth — no app function, no setup step, no feature attributed to it. Under this catalogue's rule that
protocolslists usable control paths rather than radios present, Bluetooth is therefore left out of the protocols field and recorded here instead, where it can be read as the hardware fact it is. Matter is excluded on the same principle plus a second one: the only Matter claim is a field WiZ prints identically across its catalogue. cloudDependent is recorded false on Home Assistant's documented local-push control, which needs no WiZ cloud — note that the voice assistants are a different matter and do run through WiZ's service. - Security updates: No security-update support date is on record for this model yet. We haven't yet checked whether WiZ publishes one, so this is a gap in our research — not a statement about the manufacturer.
The catch
🔴 Start with Apple, because it is where this lamp is most likely to be misread. The only Apple integration WiZ names anywhere on the page is 'Siri Shortcuts'. HomeKit and Apple Home appear nowhere. Those are different things: Shortcuts gives you a spoken phrase that runs an action; Apple Home gives you a tile in the Home app, a light that sits in a room, automations that can address it, and something everyone in the house can control. Buy this expecting a lamp in Apple Home and you will not have one. Second, and this is the finding that shaped the whole record: WiZ's specification block carries a line reading 'Compatibility with 3rd party systems: Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT, Matter, Samsung Smartthings, Homey, Siri Shortcuts, Enki' — and that exact string also appears on WiZ's $15.39 candle bulb, checked in the same session. It is a statement about the WiZ platform, not about this lamp. Alexa and Google survive that discount because they are named a second time in the lamp's own marketing line; SmartThings and Matter are named only in the boilerplate, so treat them as platform-level claims and confirm before buying on them. Third, the genuinely good news, and WiZ never mentions it: Home Assistant ships an official WiZ integration that is local push and needs no bridge or gateway, which makes this one of the few lamps in the subcategory with a control path that touches no vendor server at all. One catch attached to it — 'Allow local communication' has to be enabled in the WiZ app, and if someone has turned it off the local route goes with it. Fourth, a gap rather than a warning: WiZ publishes 13.5 W, 400 lumens, 2200-6500 K, a UL damp-location rating and a built-in INR18650 battery, but no runtime figure anywhere. For a portable lamp, how long it lasts off the charger is the specification buyers most want, and it is the one not published. Finally, on hubs the answer is clean and confirmed from both sides: 'No need to install additional hardware such as hub or gateway!'
Who it's for
A household on Alexa or Google Home that wants a portable, rechargeable colour lamp to move between a table, a shelf and a covered porch — the UL damp-location rating means outdoors under cover is within spec — and that will use the WiZ app for scenes. It is a standout pick for a Home Assistant household despite WiZ never saying so: an official local-push integration with no bridge, no gateway and no vendor cloud is a better answer than anything WiZ advertises, and it makes this lamp unusually independent for a Wi-Fi product. Think twice if you are an Apple household expecting a light in the Home app, because Siri here runs through Shortcuts and nothing appears in Home. Think twice if SmartThings or Matter is the deciding factor, since both are claimed only in a compatibility field WiZ prints identically across its catalogue. And think twice if runtime matters to you — a lamp sold on being portable that publishes no battery life is asking you to find out for yourself.
