What these devices need
- Apple: “If you have an iPhone using iOS 18 or later, you can add Matter accessories to and control Matter accessories from the Home app without a home hub.” It adds: “However, for the best experience set up a home hub to add supported Matter and thread-based accessories to the Home app.”
- Apple: “Thread-based accessories require a Thread-enabled home hub such as Apple TV 4K, HomePod (2nd generation), HomePod mini, or a compatible third-party Thread border router.”
- Google: “Before you can add Matter-enabled devices to Google Home, you need a Matter-enabled hub device set up on your home wireless network”
- Google: “The following hubs support Matter over both Wi-Fi and Thread: Speakers: Google Home Speaker (2026) Displays: Nest Hub (2nd gen), Nest Hub Max Wi-Fi routers: Nest Wifi Pro (Wi-Fi 6E) Streamers: Google TV Streamer (4K)”
- Alexa: Matter-compatible Echo devices handle Wi-Fi Matter devices (Amazon’s developer documentation, checked October 1, 2026); Amazon says they support “a subset of Matter 1.5 and lower device types”.
- A Thread device needs an Echo that is also a Thread border router, which Amazon’s developer documentation (checked October 1, 2026) names as the Echo (4th Gen); Echo Hub; Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen); Echo Show 15 (2nd Gen); Echo Show 21; Echo Dot Max; Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen, 2025 release) and Echo Studio (2025 release), or an eero Wi-Fi router (eero 6, eero 6+, eero Pro 6, eero Pro 6E and eero 7 family).
- SmartThings: “The Matter controller will be the hub responsible for controlling the Matter device after it is onboarded.”
- SmartThings: “To connect devices built on Thread, you will need a Matter controller that includes a Thread Border Router.”
