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.
