Lowe's Cos. (LOW) will shut down its Iris Smart Home platform, which launched in 2012.

Under an online redemption process for eligible connected devices, customers will receive a Visa prepaid card to help migrate to another platform.

Iris said in a customer letter that certain devices used with Iris are compatible with other platforms such as Samsung Electronics Co.'s (SSNHZ) SmartThings.

In November, Lowe's said it would exit certain non-core activities including Iris and Alacrity Renovation Services, and said it was seeking a buyer for Iris.

Iris products have included security sensors, smoke detectors, video products and water-related items.
