What your Apple setup needs

An iPhone, or a home hub
With iOS 18 or later, an iPhone can add and control Matter accessories in the Home app without a home hub. A home hub (HomePod or Apple TV) lets you control them away from home, share control and run automations.
For a Thread plug: a Thread border router
Apple says Thread accessories need a Thread-enabled home hub, such as HomePod mini, HomePod (2nd generation) or a Thread-capable Apple TV 4K, or a compatible third-party border router. The Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Ethernet model includes Thread; the Wi-Fi-only model does not. iPhone 15 Pro and later can control Thread accessories without a home hub.
For a Wi-Fi plug: your Wi-Fi network
No Thread border router. Where a plug has a “Before you buy” note, it lists the Wi-Fi network the plug needs.
