Matter Compatible Devices
Smart home devices that are Matter-certified or Matter-compatible. Matter is the cross-ecosystem standard, so every device here works natively with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Home Assistant out of the box. No vendor-specific app required.
Read the Matter introduction →How Matter compatibility works
Matter is a unified smart home standard launched by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) and backed by Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung and the Home Assistant project. The goal is straightforward: a device certified once should work with every major ecosystem, with local control over Wi-Fi or Thread.
Matter-certified devices appear in the official Matter Distributed Compliance Ledger (DCL), which is what this page is built from. A device in the DCL has passed certification testing, meaning it speaks the standard correctly and is genuinely interoperable.
To use Matter you need a Matter controller: an Apple HomePod, Google Nest Hub 2nd gen, Echo 4th gen, or Home Assistant with the Matter Server add-on. Thread-based Matter devices also need a Thread Border Router, which is built into most current smart home hubs.

Need a Matter controller or Thread Border Router?
Apple HomePod, Google Nest Hub 2nd gen, and Echo 4th gen / Echo Hub all act as Matter controllers, and most also include a Thread Border Router.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Matter compatible device?
A Matter compatible device is a smart home product that has passed certification by the Connectivity Standards Alliance and appears in the Matter DCL. Certified devices implement the Matter protocol correctly, which means they can be added to any major smart home ecosystem (Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Home Assistant, Samsung SmartThings, Homey) without a vendor-specific app or cloud account.
Do I need a hub for Matter?
You need a Matter controller, which acts as the brain of your smart home. The HomePod, HomePod mini, Nest Hub 2nd gen, Echo 4th gen and newer, Apple TV 4K, and Home Assistant all act as Matter controllers. If you use Thread-based Matter devices (battery sensors, locks), the controller also needs to be a Thread Border Router.
What is the difference between Matter and Thread?
Matter is the application-layer protocol that apps and devices use to talk to each other. Thread is one of the underlying wireless networks Matter can run on (the other is Wi-Fi). Battery-powered Matter devices typically use Thread because it is low-power. Mains-powered devices typically use Wi-Fi.
Are all Matter devices wireless?
Yes. Matter runs over Wi-Fi, Thread (a low-power mesh network), or Ethernet for hubs. There is no wired Matter connection between end devices and a controller.
Will old smart home devices get a Matter update?
Some, but not most. Matter requires hardware that supports the right radios and enough memory for the certification stack. Vendors are gradually adding Matter to flagship products via firmware updates (Philips Hue Bridge, Aqara hubs, Eve sensors). Most older devices will not be upgraded, so you may need to replace them or use a bridge.
