142 devices with Home Assistant support
Start here
Green ships with Home Assistant OS, the only installation that officially supports the Matter Server app, and new devices are added from the Companion app on a phone. It has no radios of its own, so Thread devices need a border router: a Connect ZBT-2 switched from Zigbee to Thread, a manual step, or a Nest Hub (2nd gen) or HomePod mini, though Apple border routers currently block its Matter firmware updates.
Plug-and-play Home Assistant hub with Ethernet and no built-in radios
The simplest way to start a Home Assistant home for Matter: Home Assistant OS comes installed, and that is the only setup Home Assistant supports for its Matter Server.
Before you buy
Where a brand has a native local integration, compare it with Matter first. Behind a Hue Bridge, Matter passes only basic light controls, while Home Assistant's native Hue integration adds dynamic scenes and entertainment mode.
Home Assistant's Matter integration has actions that create lock users and PIN credentials, so a keypad code could come from an automation. Confirm your lock accepts codes this way before planning guest access around it.
Some plugs send energy readings over Matter, such as Eve Energy since Eve's April 2025 firmware. The SwitchBot Plug Mini (EU) sends none over Matter, but Home Assistant's SwitchBot Bluetooth integration reads its power and consumption.
Home Assistant's native Tado integration does not support the Tado X range, so Tado X runs in Home Assistant through Matter or not at all.
A plain-English guide to when a Matter home needs a Thread border router, which device types depend on one, and when you can safely skip it.
A buyer-friendly checklist for adding a Matter device without guessing: network path, hub requirements, setup codes, firmware, placement, and multi-admin sharing.
A practical comparison of Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, Homey, Home Assistant, and Aqara for Matter homes, including automation depth, hubs, Thread, and hybrid setups.
When to choose a Matter bridge, when to buy native Matter devices, and why bridges can be the right answer for existing Hue, IKEA, Bosch, and similar smart home systems.
Home Assistant 2026.10.0 brings separate sound and light settings to supported Matter leak sensors, including IKEA KLIPPBOK, without joining the beta.
Home Assistant Core 2026.9.3 now creates lift-only controls for a calibrated Shelly 2PM Gen4 when slat tilt is disabled.
Stable Home Assistant 2026.9 includes the Matter map for Thread and Wi-Fi paths under Settings > Connectivity, while older Matter Servers need an update.
SONOFF's shipping MINI-1GSP combines Matter-over-Wi-Fi switching with a local browser console, MQTT Discovery, and open APIs, but neutral wiring still decides the purchase.
The newest reviews of devices whose documentation lists Home Assistant support.
USB-powered multi-zone mmWave presence sensor
A good buy for a home without Thread that wants one sensor to split an open-plan room into separate Matter zones.
Replacement handle set for UK multipoint doors with fingerprint, keypad and Apple home key
A tidy Matter upgrade for a compatible UK multipoint door when you want fingerprint, PIN and Apple home key access on the handle itself instead of a cylinder motor and a separate keypad.
North American ceiling-fan and light retrofit controller
Inovelli's $60 VTM36 is a clever way to keep a compatible AC-motor ceiling fan while adding separate Matter control for its speed and light.
Four-outlet Schuko power strip with per-socket metering
Shelly Power Strip 4 Gen4 is worth €59.90 when four nearby devices need separate control and metering without a row of adapters.
