Matter hubs

How to choose Matter hubs and bridges

Start with the role you need, then check the certificate, then confirm your platform.

1. Decide which role you need. A Thread border router lets Thread devices reach your network (13 models here are one); a bridge brings devices on another protocol, such as Zigbee, into Matter. The Hub or border router column says which each model is, where an official source confirms it. Read Best Matter hubs and bridges.
2. Check the CSA certificate. 47 of the 67 have a CSA certificate on file for the exact model. Filter the table to them, then confirm the certificate ID on the product page. Read How to verify Matter certification.
3. Confirm your platform. 10 of the 67 have a maker page on file naming at least one platform, shown in the table. For any other model, check the maker’s page for your platform, and whether your controller app supports this type of device.
4. Start from our picks. The buying guide names a few models in this category with the reason for each, and what each needs. Read Best Matter hubs and bridges.
