Matter switches and dimmers for Apple Home
A smart switch keeps the wall control working for everyone in the room, which makes it the forgiving choice for a shared Apple Home. Fit comes before features: the neutral wire, load type, regional wall box and multi-way wiring decide what you can install long before the Home app does. Extra scene buttons are the other trap. Some models do not document those buttons as programmable Matter events, so check the review before planning Apple Home automations around them.
