MEDIA, PA — EME Americas, parent company of the LUX thermostat brand, has introduced its newest smart home device, the LUX TQX Smart Thermostat — a Matter-enabled system designed to remove many of the compatibility and setup hurdles that have long frustrated smart home users.
The TQX launches as one of the first thermostats built entirely around the Matter protocol, the emerging industry standard that allows devices from different manufacturers to communicate seamlessly. With Matter built in, homeowners can connect and control the TQX directly through their preferred ecosystem — Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or Samsung SmartThings — without extra apps, subscription fees, or proprietary accounts.
“The TQX represents the next generation of smart home comfort: intelligent, open, and effortless,” said Rob Munin, CEO of EME Americas. “We’ve taken everything homeowners love about LUX — quality, affordability, and ease of use — and merged it with cutting-edge Matter connectivity and built-in sensing that makes comfort and cost savings smarter, not more complicated.”
The thermostat is designed for quick installation and intuitive operation, offering an upgrade path for households still using traditional programmable units. A key feature is its intelligent sensing system, which learns household routines and automatically adjusts heating and cooling. Paired with an included remote sensor, the TQX can balance temperatures across rooms, reduce energy waste, and maintain comfort throughout the home.
LUX is also introducing a companion model, the TQ1 Smart Thermostat, aimed at cost-conscious homeowners seeking simple installation and broad HVAC compatibility. Both thermostats reflect LUX’s positioning as a heritage American brand focused on accessible, reliable smart home products.
To coincide with the launch, EME Americas is offering the devices exclusively on Amazon at introductory prices:
• TQX Smart Thermostat (black glass with one remote sensor) — $179.99
• TQ1 Smart Thermostat (black or white) — $94.99
With the TQX, LUX joins a small but growing group of device makers embracing Matter as a foundation for next-generation smart homes — aiming to give homeowners simpler integration, more control, and fewer barriers to adopting energy-saving technology.
