Matter sensors for SmartThings
SmartThings reads more from a Matter sensor than some platforms do, which makes it a good home for the richer models here. The light level from Eve Motion and IKEA MYGGSPRAY, every ALPSTUGA air reading and IKEA KLIPPBOK leak alerts all have documented SmartThings support, and one of Samsung's own examples uses a humidity reading to switch a connected air conditioner to dehumidifier mode. The cost of entry is Thread: most sensors on this list run on batteries over Thread, so they need a SmartThings hub that doubles as a Thread border router. Detection zones, sensitivity and history graphs usually stay in the maker's app. The limited section includes the Meross MS405HMA leak kit, whose SmartThings alerts Meross has not described.
