Matter smart home devices: what to know before you buy

What is a Matter device?

A Matter device is a smart home product built to the Matter standard from the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). It connects over Wi-Fi, Thread or Ethernet, and one certified device can be added to Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa or Samsung SmartThings, as long as that platform supports its device type. We list 716 Matter certified products with a verified US store link: 509 use Wi-Fi, 146 use Thread, 10 list both Thread and Wi-Fi, 21 list a wired Ethernet connection and 30 do not state a network.

Which Matter devices work with Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa?

A certified Matter device can be added to any platform whose Matter controller supports its device type, without a separate hub from its maker. Of the 716 certified products we list with a US store link, 382 list Amazon Alexa, 366 Apple Home, 356 Google Home and 270 Samsung SmartThings. Each platform adds and runs devices through its own Matter controller, such as a HomePod or Apple TV, a Nest hub or an Echo (with iOS 18 or later, an iPhone can add Matter accessories without a home hub), and Thread devices also need a Thread border router.

Thread or Wi-Fi?

Both carry the same Matter commands. Wi-Fi devices join your router and need no extra box. Thread devices form a low-power mesh and need a Thread border router; that suits battery devices. In our catalog, fans (36 of 57), locks (35 of 48), sensors (22 of 34) and blinds (6 of 9) mostly use Thread, while lighting (252 of 305), switches (61 of 71), plugs (48 of 55), robot vacuums (51 of 53) and thermostats (15 of 15) mostly use Wi-Fi (certified products with a US store link).

Do you need a hub? Controllers and Thread border routers

A Matter controller adds devices to your platform and runs them; a Thread border router connects Thread devices to your home network. They are two different jobs, and one speaker, display, streaming box or hub can do one or both. We list 14 products whose maker or platform owner says they are Thread border routers (reviewed October 1, 2026), and Apple, Google and Amazon name more models on their own pages.
