Good to know
- Local Zigbee/Thread devices need a SmartThings hub (e.g., SmartThings Station, Aeotec Smart Home Hub); cloud-connected devices work through the app alone.
- 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.
- Zigbee is not Matter: a Zigbee device needs a Zigbee hub (or a bridge that exposes it to Matter); Matter-only controllers cannot pair it directly.
