The good news: Sylvania is a big, familiar lighting brand, and smart bulbs are a small add-on to a large business, so the company itself is not going anywhere.
The bad news: LEDVANCE already shut down one smart lighting platform: Osram Lightify lost its cloud in 2021. Smart lighting is a side business for it, which makes another cutback possible.
If you own Sylvania
- Use voice assistants or a Matter system alongside the Sylvania app, where your bulbs support it.
- If you buy new smart bulbs, consider a brand with Matter or local control.
