What Matter support means for smart bulbs

Matter is a shared smart home standard. A Matter device can be added to any Matter controller, such as Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa or SmartThings, without a brand-specific cloud integration.

Values come from the specification record for each model. Where a manufacturer source has been checked for this field, the evidence column links to it; otherwise the value is an unverified catalog record. Confirm the exact model, region and firmware before buying.

Before you buy

Matter setup checklist

  1. You need a Matter controller. Phone apps add devices, but a home hub (for example an Apple TV or HomePod, a Google Nest hub or a compatible Echo) runs automations and remote access.
  2. Matter devices that use Thread also need a Thread border router on your network. Wi-Fi and Ethernet Matter devices do not.
  3. Matter covers the device types in its specification. Brand-app features such as maps, schedules or video history may still need the manufacturer app.
