Editor's take
RGBIC is one of those features that sounds like marketing until you actually see it. Standard RGB strips show one color at a time across the entire length. The HomeMate RGBIC displays multiple colors simultaneously - flowing rainbows, gradients that shift from warm orange to cool blue, wave effects that move along the strip. For content creators shooting YouTube videos or Instagram reels in their bedroom, this is a game-changer for backgrounds.
The dual Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth connectivity is practical for Indian conditions. When your broadband stutters during peak evening hours, Bluetooth keeps you in control. Triple voice assistant support means it works regardless of whether your household is an Alexa family or Google family.
The missing power state memory is annoying in India specifically. After a power cut - which happens regularly in most Indian cities - the strip resets to default rather than returning to your chosen scene. You have to manually set it again through the app.
At Rs 4,000-6,000, it sits between budget strips and the Philips premium.
For the visual effects alone, it is worth the step up from basic RGB.
