Will the Eve Door & Window contact sensor (Matter) work with the Google TV Streamer (4K)?
Yes. Both use Matter smart home standard; Both use Thread border router.
Both records are reviewed against the manufacturers' sources; sources last checked 2026-10-14. Informational only: confirm with the manufacturer before buying.
Why
- ✓ Both use Matter smart home standard.
- ✓ Both use Thread border router.
Good to know
- Matter runs over Wi-Fi or Thread. Matter-over-Thread accessories also need a Thread border router somewhere in the home (see radio:thread-border-router); a Wi-Fi-only controller is not enough on its own.
- Each ecosystem supports a subset of Matter device types, so check that your controller supports the accessory's type (e.g., lock, thermostat, sensor).
- Some products reach Matter through a bridge (e.g., Philips Hue Bridge, Aqara Hub M3) rather than speaking Matter themselves.
- Matter-over-Wi-Fi accessories typically need a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
- Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) Wi-Fi-only (64GB) model has NO Thread radio; only the Wi-Fi + Ethernet (128GB) model is a Thread border router.
- Google Nest Hub (1st gen), Nest Mini, Nest Audio and Google Home Mini are Matter hubs for Wi-Fi accessories only, not Thread border routers.
- Echo Dot, Echo Pop and most smaller Echo models support Matter over Wi-Fi but are not Thread border routers; Amazon lists Echo (4th Gen), Echo Hub, Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) and other larger models as border routers.
- Apple lists iPhone 15 Pro and later (iOS 18) as Thread-capable, but a home hub (HomePod mini, HomePod 2nd gen, Apple TV 4K) is still needed for always-on control and automations.

- Matter smart home standard: Matter accessories can be added to any Matter controller (Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and others) without a brand-specific hub. (Google Nest Help: Prepare your smart home for Matter).
- Thread border router: A hub with a Thread radio that connects low-power Thread accessories (most battery Matter sensors, locks and plugs like Eve) to your home network. (Apple Support: If you see a 'Thread Border Router Required' alert).
