Sengled makes smart bulbs, light strips, plugs and sensors using Zigbee, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Mesh, with a Matter range added from 2023. Most products are managed in the Sengled Home app, and Zigbee models can use the Sengled Element Hub. Sengled's 2023 press release gives its headquarters as Alpharetta, Georgia, and the App Store publisher is Sengled Optoelectronics Co., Ltd.
Sengled has two very different connection styles. Wi-Fi bulbs depend on Sengled's cloud for the app and for Alexa and Google Home control. Zigbee bulbs can pair to a Sengled Element Hub or to a third-party Zigbee controller, and Matter-over-Zigbee and Wi-Fi Matter products are listed in Matter certification records. Reports from 2025 describe cloud outages from June, the end of the Sengled Alexa skill for cloud-dependent bulbs on 1 August 2025, and the end of Works with SmartThings certification on 25 August 2025.
That makes Zigbee or Matter bulbs the safer choice, paired to a controller you own such as Home Assistant, Homey or Hubitat. Wi-Fi bulbs are the weaker option, because the pages we read say they rely on Sengled's cloud, and we found no statement from Sengled about the outages or the future of its app.

The current app, replacing the earlier Element Home app. It handles remote control through a cloud connection, room grouping, colour and colour-temperature control, scenes, schedules, routines, sensor automations, widgets and a power-usage page. It controls Wi-Fi, hub-based and BLE Mesh bulbs and BLE Mesh light strips, and can hand settings to IFTTT. Published by Sengled Optoelectronics Co., Ltd.; the listing showed version 2.8.10 from February 2025, so it had not been updated since before the 2025 outages, and its rating was 2.7 from about 8,900 ratings. iPhone requires iOS 13.4 or later. The Android link is built from the package name com.sengled.life2 seen in third-party app listings, and we could not load the Google Play page itself to confirm it.
An earlier Sengled app that Sengled Home replaced, according to the Sengled Home App Store listing. We did not find a current store listing for it and could not confirm whether it still works.

Sengled Home lists Wi-Fi models and controls them through a cloud connection. From mid-June 2025, reports describe Wi-Fi bulbs losing control through the Sengled app, Alexa and Google Home during a cloud outage, with some users reporting recovery days later and no public explanation from Sengled. Bulbs still worked from a wall switch. Reports in August 2025 say the app is often non-functional, and we found no later official update.
The Element Hub connects to the router by Ethernet and is the place to join Zigbee Sengled devices, set up through the Sengled Home app. The guide says a second Zigbee hub is not needed if one is already owned. Zigbee2MQTT's page for one Sengled bulb says no Sengled hub or bridge is needed there, and that the bulb is an end device that does not extend the mesh.
Sengled announced Wi-Fi Matter bulbs at CES in January 2023, including one built with Amazon's Alexa Connect Kit SDK. Matter Alpha's listing for Sengled shows certified Wi-Fi products and a Matter-over-Zigbee colour bulb and plug. The colour bulb page shows Matter 1.0 and certification dated January and February 2023. LightNOW reports that Zigbee, Matter and Bluetooth Sengled bulbs can still work natively with Alexa after the skill ended. We could not confirm the Matter version for the other products.
The Sengled Home listing offers in-app Alexa setup help. LightNOW reports that Amazon permanently discontinued the Sengled Alexa skill, citing repeated extended service interruptions, so that from 1 August 2025 Alexa voice commands and routines no longer work with cloud-dependent bulbs. Zigbee, Matter and Bluetooth bulbs can still work natively with Alexa according to the same report. We found no Sengled statement on this, and the listing has not been updated since.
The Sengled Home listing offers in-app Google Assistant setup help, and reports from the June 2025 outage say Google Home control failed along with the app. We found no Sengled or Google page on current Google Home support, so we could not confirm it works now.
The Sengled Home listing offers in-app HomeKit setup help. We found no Sengled page naming the supported models, and could not confirm whether it relies on the cloud.
A SmartThings community post says Sengled devices no longer carry Works with SmartThings certification from 25 August 2025, that Sengled Wi-Fi devices will no longer connect to SmartThings, and that SmartThings will not test, certify or officially support Sengled devices. Zigbee devices already connected may keep working, but without a guarantee.
We found no dedicated Sengled integration. Zigbee2MQTT, a separate community project, lists Sengled Zigbee bulbs that pair without a Sengled hub. We read one device page there, and did not read Home Assistant's own ZHA documentation, so Sengled support through ZHA is unconfirmed. Wi-Fi bulbs depend on Sengled's cloud, and we found no integration for them.
Homey's Sengled app is labelled official and published by Sengled USA. It covers Zigbee products only: bulbs, a plug, a light strip, a battery light switch and a window and door sensor. Every listed device is marked as needing a Homey Bridge. It lists Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server and needs Homey v7.4.0 or newer, and the page does not say whether it works on Homey Cloud without a Bridge.
Hubitat's documentation includes a page titled Tips for Sengled Hub Transitions, but we could only read its title. A Support.com guide shows pairing four Sengled Zigbee products on a Hubitat Elevation hub: Element bulbs, a window and door sensor, a light strip and a plug. That guide is not from Hubitat or Sengled.
