Jasco, the maker of some of our favorite smart lights, is at CES this week to show off its latest smart plus and wall switches, all of which come with a key feature: Matter support.
Jasco is also debuting a new set of indoor accent wall lights that can be controlled via the brand’s Enbrighten app or an RF remote; plus, a new entry in its Eternity outdoor light series.
Matter smart plugs and switches
An early proponent of the smart home-unifying Matter standard, Jasco has already released several Matter-enabled light bulbs, and now the manufacturer is following up with a series of Matter-ready smart plugs and wall switches.
Slated to ship this summer, the plug and switches will boast on/off functionality, dimming, motion sensing, and countdown timers. The switches will be wall-mountable and will offer a “polished, hardwired appearance,” Jasco says.
Thanks to Matter, the new devices will work with Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings, as well as with the Enbrighten app.
Users will also be able to control the plugs and switches with battery-powered Matter remotes that will work without Wi-Fi.

Jasco will ship a total of five different Matter smart plugs, ranging in price from $32.99 to $39.99. One of the plugs will be an outdoor model with a countdown timer, while the others will be indoor units; one of the plugs will have a motion sensor.
The company’s five smart switches start at $24.99, including models with three-way dimmers and different combinations of countdown timers and presets, while the priciest switch ($39.99) will have a motion sensor.
Enbrighten Indoor Accent Wall Lights
Alongside its new Matter plugs and switches, Jasco is also serving up new indoor accent lights at CES.
The Enbrighten Indoor Accent Wall Lights come with 12 RGBWWIC LED pucks on a 12-foot strand (RGBWWIC means each pucks has discrete integrated circuits for red, green, blue, white, and warm white). You can mount the lights using the included mounting clips and adhesive tape, and up to four of the strings can be connected to a single power source. Said power source can connect to either end of the string.
The Indoor Accent Wall Lights can glow in millions of colors, and they offer dynamic lighting effects as well as the ability to sync with tunes courtesy of Jasco’s MusicSync technology.

You can control the wall lights ($79.99, or $34.99 for a 12-puck expansion pack) using the Enbrighten app or an included RF remote. The lights work with Alexa and Google Home, but not with Matter.
Same as Jasco’s new smart plugs and switches, the Enbrighten Indoor Accent Wall Lights are set to come out this summer.
Eternity Landscape Lights
Finally, Jacso is unveiling a follow-up to its Eternity permanent outdoor lights, with the Eternity Landscape Lights slated to go on sale later this month.
The compact, Wi-Fi-connected lights can be used as either outdoor spotlights or footlights, with an 8-light set selling for $99.99 while a 12-light package will retail for $129.99.
