Why Matter Suits Alexa Users

Before Matter, adding devices to Amazon Alexa meant checking for the "Works with Amazon Alexa" badge and hoping the manufacturer maintained compatibility. With Matter, a certified device can work with Alexa — plus Apple Home, Google Home, and SmartThings — when the platform supports its device type.

Matter devices use Thread and Wi-Fi for local communication, so control can stay on your home network instead of depending on the cloud. Many Echo devices act as Matter controllers, and some, such as the Echo (4th Gen), are also Thread border routers, so you may not need a separate hub.

QR Code Setup

Scan the Matter QR code with the Alexa app to add the device; setup steps vary by device.

Local Control

Matter runs on your local network via Thread/Wi-Fi. Many local controls can keep working when the internet is down.

Multi-Platform

Matter multi-admin lets you add the same device to Alexa and Google Home at the same time; supported features vary by platform.

Matter Lights for Alexa

Matter lights are the easiest upgrade — screw in a bulb, add to Alexa, done. Wi-Fi bulbs need only your router; Thread bulbs also need a Thread border router.

Matter Locks for Alexa

Matter locks give you keyless entry controlled from Alexa. Check each lock's connection (Thread or Wi-Fi) and certification record before buying.

Matter Thermostats for Alexa

Control your heating and cooling from the Alexa app. Matter thermostats integrate with Alexa automations — set temperature scenes, geo-fencing triggers, and Alexa voice control.

Matter Sensors for Alexa

Sensors are the backbone of smart home automations. Motion sensors, door/window contacts, and temperature sensors trigger Alexa scenes automatically.

Matter Plugs for Alexa

Smart plugs turn any device into an Alexa-controlled device. Monitor energy usage, set schedules, and control appliances with Alexa.

Matter Blinds for Alexa

Motorized blinds with Matter support let you control natural light via Alexa. Schedule open/close with sunrise and sunset automations.
