WiZ Flex Strip 10m
Matter Protocol
The WiZ Flex Strip 10m from WiZ connects to your smart home over Wi-Fi. It joins your existing network directly, without a Thread Border Router or extra hub, and your Matter controller reaches it through your home router.
Wi-Fi Band
Most Matter Wi-Fi devices only connect on 2.4 GHz. If your router combines 2.4 and 5 GHz under one SSID, split them to avoid issues.
Same Network
Your phone, your controller and the device must be on the same network. Guest networks and separate VLANs can block Matter.
Power Use
Wi-Fi uses more power than Thread, so most Matter over Wi-Fi devices run on mains power instead of batteries.
Every Matter device needs a Matter controller, like a smart hub, display or speaker. See all Matter hubs →
Matter Version
Matter 1.0
The WiZ Flex Strip 10m is certified on Matter 1.0, the first release from October 2022. It covers the core smart home devices: lights, plugs, switches, locks, thermostats, blinds, sensors, TVs and bridges, all running over Wi-Fi, Thread or Ethernet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the WiZ Flex Strip 10m need a smart hub?
Yes, but only a Matter controller from your platform, not a separate bridge. The WiZ Flex Strip 10m connects straight to your home network. The controller can be an Apple home hub, a Google Nest speaker, an Amazon Echo or Home Assistant.
Does the WiZ Flex Strip 10m work without internet?
Yes. Matter runs on your local network, so the WiZ Flex Strip 10m keeps working when your internet goes down. Remote access, voice assistants and some WiZ cloud features may still need a working connection.
Does the WiZ Flex Strip 10m work with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant?
Yes. The WiZ Flex Strip 10m is Matter certified, so it works with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant, as long as the platform supports Light Strip devices. Support for newer device types can differ per platform.
Do I need the WiZ app to use the WiZ Flex Strip 10m?
No. Any Matter hub can set up and control the WiZ Flex Strip 10m without the WiZ app. Some advanced features may not be part of Matter yet, so settings like firmware updates or special modes can still require the WiZ app.
How do I set up the WiZ Flex Strip 10m?
Open your smart home app, choose to add a device and scan the Matter QR code on the WiZ Flex Strip 10m or its packaging. You can also type in the 11-digit Matter code instead. The app guides you through the rest. Keep the code safe, you need it again after a reset.
