Matter Energy Management: Smart Homes Get Smarter About Power

New Matter device types for energy management are here. Solar inverters, EV chargers, and smart panels can now speak Matter.

Energy Meets the Smart Home

The CSA has introduced new Matter device types specifically for energy management. This is a game-changer for homeowners with solar panels, electric vehicles, or anyone looking to optimize their energy usage.

New Device Types

Solar Inverters & Microinverters

Monitor your solar production in real-time from any Matter-compatible app. Set automations like "when solar production exceeds 5kW, start the EV charger."

EV Chargers

Matter-compatible EV chargers can coordinate with your home's energy system. Smart charging based on solar production, time-of-use rates, or grid demand.

Smart Panels & Circuit Monitors

Whole-home energy monitoring at the circuit level. Know exactly where your energy is going and set alerts for unusual consumption.

Battery Storage

Home batteries (like Tesla Powerwall competitors) with Matter support can be integrated into whole-home automations and energy optimization strategies.

Why This Matters

Previously, energy management devices existed in their own silos — SolarEdge, Enphase, Tesla each with their own app. Matter brings them all together under a unified interface.

Imagine: your smart home detects high solar production → starts charging your EV → pre-cools your home → stores excess in your battery — all automated, all through Matter.

Available Now?

The device type specifications are finalized. First certified products are expected in mid-2026. Stay updated with our newsletter →
