Lafaer LWR01 Joins Works with Homey Ecosystem
Lafaer, a sub-brand of GL.iNet, focusing in smart home automation, announced that its first Wireless Human Presence Sensor (LWR01) is now officially part of the “Works with Homey” ecosystem. The LWR01 is a human presence sensor, offering precise occupancy detection while being battery-powered and fully wireless. Leveraging the Matter over Thread standard, LWR01 is fully compatible with Homey’s smart home hubs, including the Homey Pro (Early 2023) and Homey Pro Mini.
Homey, a leading smart home brand under LG Electronics, offers powerful central hubs that unify thousands of smart devices from different brands into a single, user-friendly interface. With both the Homey Pro (Early 2023) and Homey Pro Mini hubs functioning as Thread Border Routers, users can effortlessly connect to the LWR01. This combination empowers users to create automations that make life easier, such as turning on lights when someone enters a room, adjusting temperature based on presence, or creating energy-saving routines when spaces are unoccupied. The dedicated Lafaer app in the Homey App Store further simplifies setup and integration, making the smart home experience more accessible than ever.

“The LWR01 was designed to be both precise presence detection and truly wireless " said Lafaer’s product manager. “Our collaboration with Homey shows how open standards like Matter benefit both companies and, most importantly, the end user by creating a more versatile and integrated smart home experience.”
“We’re excited to welcome Lafaer to the Works with Homey family. By embracing Matter in their smart for home lineup, Lafaer shows how we can make smart homes better together, more open, reliable, and user-friendly.” Abe Haverkamp, Head of Partnership at Homey said.
The integration of the Lafaer’s LWR01 with Homey Pro hubs highlights both companies’ commitment to building an open, interoperable smart home ecosystem. This collaboration is just the beginning—Lafaer and Homey are planning more exciting joint promotions and initiatives to help users get the most out of their smart homes.
