Matter Device Library Specification: what it is, and every device type with its certified models
The Matter Device Library Specification is the CSA document that defines Matter's device types, such as lights, plugs, switches, sensors, door locks and thermostats; in the CSA's words, it "defines fundamental requirements for Matter Device Types." Its current edition is the Matter 1.6.1 Device Type Library Specification, the newest on the CSA's specifications page as of November 12, 2026 (the page calls it the Device Type Library Specification from Matter 1.5.1 on). On the CSA ledger (November 2026), certified product models state 44 device types; the most common are Extended Color Light (3,359), On/Off Plug-in Unit (1,432) and Thermostat (949). 837 of 13,138 certified models do not state a device type yet.
Every device type with certified models
The device types certified product models state on the CSA ledger (November 2026), most models first. "On Matter 1.5 or later" counts models whose highest certificate version is 1.5 or newer. 837 models state no device type yet and are in no row. Each type links to its group's page, with the newest models and the companies.

What the Device Library Specification covers
The CSA's CSA: Matter Device Library Specification, version 1.4.2 (dated July 16, 2025, read November 1, 2026) groups the device types into chapters: “Lighting Device Types”, “Smart Plugs/Outlets and other Actuators”, “Switches and Controls Device Types”, “Sensor Device Types”, “Entry Control Device Types”, “HVAC Device Types”, “Media Device Types”, “Robotic Device Types”, “Appliances Device Types”, “Energy Device Types” and “Network Infrastructure Device Types”. Google's Matter primer explains what a device type is: "A Device Type is a collection of mandatory and optional Clusters that define the top-level attributes of a physical Device, such as Dimmable Light, Door Lock, or Video Player." (Google Home Developers: Matter primer, Device Data Model, read November 10, 2026).
Each Matter release is published as four specifications. For the newest, the CSA's specifications page (re-read November 12, 2026) lists “Matter 1.6.1 Core Specification”, “Matter 1.6.1 Application Clusters Specification”, “Matter 1.6.1 Device Type Library Specification” and “Matter 1.6.1 Standard Name Space Specification”. The documents are requested through that page. Which release added which device types: Matter versions explained; the latest version and its certified devices: Matter versions.
Where these facts come from
Release dates are the Connectivity Standards Alliance's announcement dates (its announcements, read October 20, 2026). Its specifications page, its newsroom, its site search and the Matter 1.6 and 1.4.2 announcements were re-read on November 12, 2026, and each is linked where it is used. Counts: the CSA Distributed Compliance Ledger, which MatterCatalog reads every day; this page is rebuilt from each read. Each certificate's ledger record states the Matter specification version of the firmware it certifies (its specificationVersion field). A model is one vendor ID and product ID; it can hold several certificates on different versions, so it can count under more than one version in "Models certified on it", and counts once, under its highest version, in "Models with it as their highest" (the rule our Matter versions explainer uses). Device types are the ledger's (or the CSA's certified-product listing when the ledger has none). MatterCatalog does not test devices and is not affiliated with the CSA.
