![]() Orvibo is a well-known brand in China, but not so much elsewhere. The company hope to increase their presence on the international stage starting with the introduction of a small sample of its rather large roster of devices, starting with the MixPad D1 Smart Dimmer Switch. Although this product has actually been available on Amazon for a few months now, it seems to have gone unnoticed, which isn’t a surprise in our case, as it’s not actually HomeKit compatible. That looks set to change with an impending firmware update to make it Matter compatible, which in turn would allow it to be exposed to HomeKit, as well as Samsung SmartThings, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. The latter two platforms already support the D1, however, so the Matter update is going to mainly benefit HomeKit users – and SmartThings users too I guess. I wouldn’t generally review a product that doesn’t support HomeKit, even if Matter was on the horizon, but in the case of the D1, its associated app supports Siri Shortcuts, so it passed my threshold for a device I’d be willing to try out and review. ![]() So it’s a dimmer, big deal you might think.
