Today, Tuya Smart, a global IoT development platform services provider, alongside Monster®, RazerTM, and JEM Accessories, announced an expansion of Tuya and JEM’s strategic partnership by integrating Monster™ Smart Illuminessence™ lighting products into the Razer Chroma™ RGB ecosystem.

This new integration will enable immersive decorative lighting experiences indoors and out and consumers will soon elevate their game with next-level, real-time LED multi-sensory lighting experiences. Designed to enhance existing in-game play, this partnership was galvanized with the commitment to expand the Razer ChromaTM lighting ecosystem dynamically and dramatically. Monster™ Smart Illuminessence™ will be the largest selection of Razer Chroma-enabled lighting products in the market.

Tuya and Monster’s strategic partnership was initiated in 2018 and officially announced three years ago during CES in 2019. Today’s announcement marks a step forward for both parties toward realizing a smart future made accessible to all. By leveraging Tuya’s industry-leading IoT Development Platform services, they have been able to bring these smart products to consumers’ homes quickly and reliably.
