Meross MTS300MA
A Wi-Fi thermostat for compatible North American heating and cooling systems. Choose it after checking your HVAC configuration and power supply, not simply because your existing thermostat looks similar.
- Power & system
- 24 V AC / 50–60 Hz · 1 A maximum output
- Connection
- Matter over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
- Linked model / package
- Amazon: MTS300 White · one thermostat · C-wire adapter not included. Meross store: MTS300MA-US.
What your setup needs

- Manufacturer output limits: 1,920 W at 120 V or 3,840 W at 240 V. Have an electrician confirm the load, wiring and wall-box fit.
- Use the manufacturer’s compatibility checker and exact US manual. Do not infer wiring requirements from the 24 V MTS300 or European MTS215 variants.
- A compatible Matter controller for your platform. App scheduling and energy-monitoring features do not imply the same functionality through every Matter platform.
Check before choosing
Not for 24 V HVAC, heat pumps or conventional air conditioning. Meross recommends the US housing for North America, not Europe; do not assume all radiant or underfloor systems are compatible. Manufacturer-claimed Matter support is documented, but the catalog’s retained CSA certificate covers European electric underfloor heating and does not verify this US model.

Matter thermostat FAQ
What is a Matter thermostat?
A Matter thermostat is a smart thermostat that a Matter platform, such as Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa or SmartThings, can add and control directly. Matter does not change the wiring it needs: most US homes need a 24 V HVAC model, while electric baseboard heat needs a line-voltage model.
Do Matter thermostats need a Thread border router?
Not the 5 models in this guide: each one’s catalog record lists Wi-Fi, not Thread, so it joins your home Wi-Fi and needs no Thread border router. You still need your platform’s Matter controller, such as a supported speaker, display or hub.
Is a “Matter compatible” thermostat Matter certified?
Not necessarily. “Matter compatible” or “works with Matter” in a store title is the seller’s claim; a CSA certificate is the record of certification. Of the 18 thermostats MatterCatalog lists with a verified US store link, 16 have a CSA Matter certificate on file, and each product page shows its certification status.
Can any Matter thermostat replace my existing thermostat?
No. Matter describes smart-home communication, not electrical or heating-system compatibility. Match supply voltage, heating and cooling stages, control type, power requirements and region first. Use the exact manufacturer compatibility checker and have an HVAC professional or electrician confirm the fit.
What is the difference between 24 V HVAC and line-voltage electric heating?
A 24 V HVAC thermostat signals compatible heating and cooling equipment. A line-voltage thermostat such as Meross MTS215MA US controls supported 120–240 V electric-heating loads. They are not interchangeable. A water-heating control or radiator valve is another distinct product.
Do all smart thermostats require a C wire?
No single rule covers every model. Meross MTS300 needs a suitable C-wire power arrangement or compatible adapter. Nest requirements depend on the model and system; the 4th-gen Learning thermostat may work without a C wire, but some installations need one or a Nest Power Connector. Check the manufacturer requirements rather than guessing from wire colors.
Does Matter replace the manufacturer setup app?
Not always. Meross MTS300 requires the Meross app for initial HVAC configuration. Google’s April 2026 version 2.4 update adds on-device setup to the 4th-gen Nest Learning Thermostat. Firmware, remote access and advanced features still have model-specific requirements.
Does Matter support every schedule, sensor and energy feature?
No. Available controls and accessories vary by firmware and platform. Google’s 4th-gen version 2.4 adds Matter bridging for thermostat sensors, but that does not establish support in every app. Manufacturer-app schedules, reports and learning features are separate from the basic controls a platform exposes.
Is Eve Thermostat the same as Eve Thermo?
No. Eve Thermo is a radiator valve. Eve Thermostat includes distinct regional wall-control products; the European model is for compatible water-based underfloor heating, while the North American product has separate requirements. Check the exact regional model, not just the Eve name.
Which Google Nest thermostats work with Matter?
MatterCatalog lists 3 Google Nest thermostats with a verified US store link, and all 3 are CSA Matter certified: Google Nest Thermostat, Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) and Nest Thermostat (2020). Each lists Wi-Fi, not Thread, so it joins your home Wi-Fi network.
Does ecobee support Matter?
We can’t confirm it: MatterCatalog has no ecobee thermostat on file, and no ecobee model appears in the CSA Matter certification data we track. Check ecobee’s own support pages for its current Matter status. The CSA Matter certified thermostats we list with a US store link include Google Nest Thermostat and Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen).
Is there a Matter over Thread thermostat?
Not among the thermostats sold in the US that MatterCatalog lists: of the 18 with a verified US store link, 17 record Wi-Fi as their Matter network and 1 states none; none records Thread. The catalog does hold 14 CSA-certified Matter-over-Thread thermostats, including radiator thermostats, with no verified US store link: ALRE-IT KTRRUs410.B86, Aqara Floor Heating Thermostat W500, Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600, Bosch Radiator Thermostat II [+M], CAME S.p.A. TH/ONE THREAD WALL CHRONOTERMOSTAT BATT., Computime Smart Thermostat, Eurotronic Comet, Eve Thermo, Eve Thermostat, geo SeeZero Thermostat, habi Smart TRV, habi Wireless Room Thermostat, Siterwell Radiator thermostats and tado° Smart Radiator Thermostat X. A Thread thermostat needs a Thread border router as well as your platform’s Matter controller.
Which Matter thermostats sold in the US are certified?

How we checked
We read manufacturer specifications and current support information and matched the exact store listings on September 16, 2026. Firmware entries, consumer models, regional versions and bundles are kept separate. A certification record does not establish every retail variant or the software currently installed on it. On October 5, 2026, we added the Google Nest and ecobee answers; the Nest table repeats each product page, and the counts update with the catalog. On October 6, 2026, we added the table of every thermostat sold in the US and the Matter over Thread answer, built the same way.
This is a source-based comparison, not a lab test, installation tutorial or exhaustive ranking. We do not promise savings or publish unverified prices and availability. Manufacturer compatibility checks and professional installation advice take precedence over a shopping summary. Read our editorial policy.
