WELOV, an AiDot brand, is new to us at HomeKit News, but caught our attention with the announcement of a Matter version of its P200 Pro air purifier, making it the first-ever Matter-certified air purifier. AiDot, the parent company, joined the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) in 2022 and achieved the first Matter certification for its own smart lighting series in November 2022. Although it's going to be a Matter device, it looks like this will be a Matter over WiFi, and not Matter over Thread. As an air purifier, the P200 Pro is primarily designed specifically to address the occurrence of higher PM2.5 levels during the night, especially for users prone to allergies, including things like pollen protection. What makes this device especially interesting for Apple users is its integration with Apple Health, which allows users to share sleep data, allowing the air purifier to adjust purification modes based on sleep cycles. Even if you're not an Apple user, you can still benefit from using personalized sleep profiles, syncing with users' sleep patterns, noise level monitoring, and customizable lighting effects, including an LED on the top of the device. device.

Some features of this new air purifier;

• Cleans rooms up to 500 m² in 60 minutes
• Monitors and adjusts fan speed based on real-time indoor air quality, displayed via color LEDs and PM2.5 data
• The noise level of the air purifier operates in sleep mode as low as 23 dB
• Uses HEPA filtration, certified to capture 99.97% of ultrafine particles

The non-Matter version offers three different filters, based on specific user requirements, with a standard filter for everyday use, a filter more aimed at pet owners and a third option for tackling VOCs including formaldehyde etc. The Matter-Certified P200 Pro is scheduled for release on WELOV's Amazon and AiDot store in March, although this isn't set in stone yet, according to the company's press release.
