Automation planner
Pick a platform first.
The platform decides which devices and setup steps are realistic. After that, describe the automation.

Devices for this automation.
Product picks are ranked from the local Matterhome device database and include setup risks when the match depends on Thread, hubs, or platform support.
Choose a platform before product picks.
Matter devices can behave differently across ecosystems, so start with the platform guide before shopping.

Build and test the automation.
- 1Start with the Matterhome guide to choosing a smart home ecosystem.
- 2Choose the platform that will run the automation day to day: Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, or Home Assistant.
- 3Come back and select that platform so product recommendations can account for device support, Thread infrastructure, and setup steps.
Verify
Where this can fail.
- Matter can make a device visible in more than one ecosystem, but the automation logic stays in the platform where you build the routine.
- Different platforms can expose different triggers, actions, and reset options for the same Matter device.
Assumptions
- Platform: not selected.
- Market: Any.
