These new smart lights change color based on who is at your front door

Eufy, the smart home product company under Anker, is launching new smart lights, including new permanent outdoor lights that can change color depending on who is walking up to your house. It works by communicating with Eufy’s video doorbells and security cameras and can be set to turn into, say, a welcoming soft white light for your family member.

Another example Anker provided is that it can switch to a harsh bright red for unrecognized folks approaching late at night. That might be a problem for early morning shift Amazon delivery workers, but if you can get each of their faces registered, maybe they all can get a thumbs-up bright green light!

The Permanent Outdoor Lights E22 are newer, brighter versions of the existing E120 model with warmer color tones. The lights are rated IP65 for water and dust resistance, while the end-of-run power adapter is IP67-rated. The lights also support a music sync mode and AI-curated themes for different occasions.

Eufy is selling the new lights today starting at $199 for 50 feet (30 lights) and $299 for 100 feet (60 lights).

Eufy is not announcing support for the Matter smart home standard, according to Anker senior PR manager Brett White, speaking to The Verge in a virtual briefing. The lights are designed to pair with Alexa or Google Assistant for voice control, and Eufy also has its own WonderLink system for unified smart home device management, which is how it integrates with the security cameras and their local facial recognition.

Eufy is launching a number of other RGB smart lights today with the same features, including outdoor string lights ($129.99) with hanging clear bulbs containing soft flame-like diffusion effects, 500-lumen outdoor spotlights ($99.99, pack of 2), 350-lumen outdoor pathway lights ($169.99, pack of 4), and an indoor floor lamp ($99.99) that washes the walls with color and looks a lot like the Philips Hue Signe floor lamp.
