Best Matter devices for Samsung SmartThings (2026)

Each pick is CSA certified for the exact model, sold in the US with a verified store link, and its maker’s own page names SmartThings; the quote is under the pick. A store listing alone does not count.

Short answer

Which Matter devices work with SmartThings?

Our top CSA-certified picks are the Nanoleaf Essentials A19 (light bulb, Thread), the Linkind Smart Plug (4-pack) (smart plug, Wi-Fi), the Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi Switch (2nd Gen) (wall switch, Wi-Fi), the Aqara Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400 (presence sensor, Thread) and the eufy FamiLock E32 (smart lock, Thread); the Thread picks also need a Thread border router.

Of the 691 Matter products sold in the US that are CSA certified for the exact model, 263 list SmartThings in their records; for 70 of them the maker’s own page names SmartThings (23 lights, 13 plugs, 10 locks, 9 sensors, 7 switches, 3 hubs and bridges, 2 blinds and shade motors, 2 fans and fan controls and 1 thermostat). 35 of those use Thread, so they also need a Thread border router; 33 use Wi-Fi. (our catalog; makers’ pages)

To use them you need a SmartThings hub or another Matter controller. Samsung’s help page names the SmartThings 2018 Hub and the Aeotec Smart Home Hub; the SmartThings 2015 Hub handles Wi-Fi and LAN Matter devices but has no Thread border router. SmartThings’ blog says the latest SmartThings Hub, SmartThings Station, Samsung TVs and Family Hub refrigerators have Thread border routers built in.

Why we count only what the maker says

Many store listings and records list SmartThings (263 of the certified products we list do). We count a product as working with SmartThings only when its maker’s own page says so, and we quote that page under each pick. (our catalog; makers’ pages)

Samsung says a device with the Matter badge can be connected to any supported Matter controller in the SmartThings app, and that you can share it with other services from the device’s menu (Share with other services). (Samsung SmartThings, read Oct 21, 2026)
