Jimmy Lin Discusses Live Light, DIY Blu on Adt Podcast
adt product chief Jimmy Lin used a May 25 Smart Home Insider episode to walk through two new security releases and the company’s current lack of Matter support. He appeared as guest host alongside Andrew O'Hara in a security-focused discussion published at 11:47 AM EDT.
The episode centered on Live Light, a smart sign meant to help first responders find a home, and on the DIY Blu system. Lin also tied those products to a larger point: security gear now has to work alongside other devices if it is going to help protect a home and family.
Live Light and DIY Blu
Lin discussed how the Live Light smart sign and the DIY Blu system fit into ADT’s new releases. Live Light was described in the episode as a smart sign that helps first responders find a home, while DIY Blu was presented as part of the company’s current product line.
The discussion did not stay at product names. Lin and the podcast framed the releases around real household problems, including identifying anomalies in a home, such as a cupboard door not opening or someone not arriving home at an expected time.
Matter Support for ADT
The clearest friction point in the conversation was Matter. ADT still does not support the standard, and the episode addressed whether the company needs it and what users should look for now.
That leaves a practical question for buyers comparing systems: ADT is already talking about devices that connect security with the rest of the home, but it has not added Matter support yet. For readers weighing a purchase, the episode points them toward checking current compatibility before choosing hardware that depends on broader smart-home integration.
Smart Home Insider Episode
The episode was published on May 25, 2026 at 11:47 AM EDT. It also included discussion of Bose’s smart speakers and Govee’s TV Backlight 3 and G25 bulb, but the ADT segment focused on Lin’s view of security products and interoperability.
For ADT, the message was straightforward: the company is pushing new security devices while still leaving Matter out of the mix. That means the most useful next step for customers is to compare the company’s current products against the rest of their smart-home setup before they buy.
