Short answer: it depends on which Feit product you have. Feit sells two distinct lines of smart bulbs, and only one of them works natively with Apple HomeKit. If you picked up a standard Feit Smart Wi-Fi bulb from Costco, it does not natively support HomeKit – you’ll need a workaround. If you bought a bulb with “/HK” in the model number, you’re already set.
The Two Feit Lines (and Why This Matters)
Feit Electric makes budget-friendly smart lighting. Most of what they sell are standard Wi-Fi bulbs that work through the Feit Smart app and connect to Alexa and Google Home. These are the bulbs you’ll find in bulk packs at Costco for $15. They do not natively support HomeKit.
Then there’s the HomeKit line – models with “/SW/HK” or “/RGBW/HK” in the SKU (like the OM60/SW/HK A19 or BR30/SW/HK flood). These connect directly via Bluetooth to the Apple Home app, no hub required, and work with Siri out of the box. They’re sold at Home Depot and Walmart at a slight premium over the standard Feit Wi-Fi bulbs.
So before you dive into workarounds: check your bulb’s model number. If it ends in “/HK”, you’re done. If it doesn’t, keep reading.
What Standard Feit Wi-Fi Bulbs Do Support
The standard Feit Smart Wi-Fi bulbs (the ones without “/HK” in the model) work well with:
- Amazon Alexa
- Google Home
- The Feit Smart app (iOS and Android)
That covers voice control, schedules, scenes, and remote access. If you’re not committed to the Apple ecosystem, these work fine. The problem is that HomeKit is not on that list, and Feit has not announced plans to add it.
Feit vs LIFX – The Acquisition Story
In August 2022, Feit Electric acquired LIFX – a premium smart lighting brand that has been HomeKit-native for years. LIFX bulbs have always supported HomeKit directly, and that hasn’t changed under Feit’s ownership. At CES 2026, LIFX announced new Matter-compatible products and Thread network support, doubling down on deep smart home ecosystem integration.
The important thing to understand: Feit and LIFX remain separate brands with separate apps and separate product lines. Buying a Feit bulb does not get you LIFX’s HomeKit support. They just happen to share a parent company now. LIFX’s HomeKit integration is genuinely excellent – if HomeKit matters to you and you’re open to spending more, LIFX is worth the jump.
Getting Standard Feit Bulbs Into HomeKit
If you have standard Feit Wi-Fi bulbs and want them in HomeKit, Homebridge is your main option. Feit’s smart bulbs run on Tuya firmware, so Tuya-based Homebridge plugins can expose them to the Apple Home app. It works, but it requires a dedicated device (Raspberry Pi is the common choice) running Homebridge as a persistent bridge.
This is not a quick setup. If you want something simple, the easier path is to buy Feit’s native HomeKit bulbs (“/HK” SKUs) or switch to a brand that supports HomeKit out of the box. If you already own a Homebridge setup and are comfortable with it, adding Feit via a Tuya plugin is straightforward enough.
How To Add Feit To Apple HomeKit via Homebridge
This method requires Homebridge to be installed and running on a device on your local network. It uses the Tuya platform plugin since Feit bulbs run on Tuya firmware.
Install Homebridge on a local device.
The easiest approach is a Raspberry Pi. Download Homebridge from homebridge.io and follow the installation guide for your platform.
Open the Homebridge UI and go to Plugins.
From the dashboard menu, click Plugins and search for “Tuya” to find compatible platform plugins.
Install a Tuya-based plugin.
The homebridge-tuya-platform plugin supports Feit bulbs. Install it from the Plugins page.
Configure the plugin with your Tuya credentials.
Feit bulbs use Tuya’s cloud. You’ll need to create a Tuya IoT Platform account at iot.tuya.com and link your Feit Smart app account to get the required API credentials.
Restart Homebridge.
Click the restart button in the top right of the dashboard. Your Feit devices should appear in the Homebridge accessory list after the restart.
Add the Homebridge bridge to the Apple Home app.
Open the Home app on your iPhone, tap the + button, select Add Accessory, and scan the Homebridge QR code shown in the Homebridge dashboard. Your Feit bulbs will appear as HomeKit accessories.
