# MatterCatalog > MatterCatalog (https://mattercatalog.com) is an independent US catalog and buying guide for Matter smart home devices. For each device it shows whether it holds a CSA (Connectivity Standards Alliance) Matter certificate, with the certificate ID and date; the network it uses (Thread, Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and whether that needs a Thread border router; the platforms its record lists (Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings); and verified US store links. Canonical site: https://mattercatalog.com/ Publisher: MatterCatalog, Mill Valley, California, USA. Contact: team@mattercatalog.com (https://mattercatalog.com/contact). Last updated: 2026-10-24 (the newest date on a catalog record, stamped at each site build). Guides show their own "Updated" date; prices carry their check date and are confirmed at the store. Full device list: https://mattercatalog.com/llms-full.txt lists every CSA-certified Matter device sold in the US, by category, with brand, model, certificate ID, connectivity, product page, the platforms it works with and the US stores that sell it. It is regenerated from the catalog at every site build. Answers: https://mattercatalog.com/llms-answers.txt holds the key counts, every guide's short answer (the question, the numbers, the date and the sources), the category pages' answers and the questions people search for. It is regenerated from the catalog at every site build. What the data is: - Certification: from the CSA's public Matter certification records. "CSA certified" means the certificate covers this exact product; product-family and named-product records, bridged accessories and models that only claim Matter are labeled as such. - Store links: verified US store links, matched to the exact model, pack and region. Models sold only outside the US are labeled. - Requirements: Matter over Thread needs a Thread border router; Matter over Wi-Fi does not. Hubs, bridges and maker requirements (neutral wire, C-wire) are stated with their source. MatterCatalog reports on CSA records and on manufacturer and retailer information. It does not test devices and is not affiliated with the CSA, Amazon, Apple, Google, Samsung or any manufacturer. ## Tools, deals and open data - [Is it Matter certified?

Every ledger month has its own page under https://mattercatalog.com/new/ (for example https://mattercatalog.com/new/2026-09), listed on [the new devices page](https://mattercatalog.com/new). - [What changed this week](https://mattercatalog.com/changelog): new store links, new catalog products and updated guides of the last 7 days, and the latest ledger counts, each with its absolute date. - Change feeds (Atom; RSS at the same names ending .rss.xml): https://mattercatalog.com/feeds/new-certifications.xml (each Matter model newly certified on the CSA ledger, with its certificate IDs) and https://mattercatalog.com/feeds/new-store-links.xml (each store link MatterCatalog first listed, with its day). ## Answers to common questions Each page opens with a short answer. The picks named here are the page's own picks that hold a CSA certificate for the exact product, with the page's reason for each. - [Which Matter smart lights should I buy?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-smart-lights-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Nanoleaf Essentials A19 (overall pick), the LIFX Color A19 (full-color Wi-Fi bulb, no brand hub), the GE Cync Full Color A19 (full-color 4-pack), the Tapo L535E Multicolor A19 (color + tunable white, 1100 lumens) and the Govee LED Strip Lights 2 (light strip); the Nanoleaf Essentials A19 uses Thread, so it also needs a Thread border router. - [Which smart light brands work with Matter, and with which ecosystems?](https://mattercatalog.com/best-matter-smart-lights): a CSA-certified Matter light can work with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings when the app supports its device type; supported features vary by app. Most of the lights we list use Wi-Fi and need only your platform's Matter controller; lights that use Thread (IKEA and Philips Hue among the brands) also need a Thread border router. Both lights guides have a table with one row per brand: how many of its Matter lights have a verified US store link, how many have a CSA record on file and which network each record names, counted from the catalog at each build. - [Which Matter light bulbs should I buy?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-light-bulbs-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Nanoleaf Essentials A19 (best overall), the LIFX Color A19 (full-color Wi-Fi bulb, no brand hub), the GE Cync Full Color A19 (4-pack) (full color, 60-watt equivalent), the Tapo L535E Multicolor A19 (color + tunable white, 1100 lumens) and the IKEA KAJPLATS E26 White Spectrum Globe (tunable-white Thread bulb); the Thread picks also need a Thread border router. - [Which Matter smart plug should I buy?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-smart-plugs-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Eve Energy Smart Plug (US/CA) (a Thread plug that measures energy use), the TP-Link Tapo P125M (one Wi-Fi plug, no Thread border router needed), the Meross MSS115 (two Wi-Fi plugs in one box) and the Eve Energy In-Wall Outlet (US/CA) (a wired in-wall outlet with two sockets); the Thread picks also need a Thread border router. The guide counts the smart plugs and outlets sold in the US with a CSA record on file (most use Wi-Fi and need no Thread border router; the Thread ones also need a Thread border router), explains that "Matter compatible" in a store title is the seller's claim while a CSA certificate is the record of certification, and compares its picks with every certified Matter-over-Thread plug, with the platforms each maker's own page names and the latest checked price. - [Which Matter smart switch or dimmer should I buy, with or without a neutral wire?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-smart-switches-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Kasa KS225 (Wi-Fi dimming, neutral required), the Tapo S505 (simple on/off, neutral required) and the Inovelli White VTM31-SN (Thread dimming, more wiring options); the Inovelli White VTM31-SN uses Thread, so it also needs a Thread border router. The guide counts the switches, dimmers and switch modules sold in the US with a CSA record on file (dimmers vs on/off, Wi-Fi vs Thread, and what each record says about the neutral wire), compares its picks with every certified switch whose maker's own page names Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa or SmartThings, sorted by the latest checked price, and answers which brands make Wi-Fi Matter switches and which dimmers their makers say work with Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa. - [Which Matter sensor should I buy?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-smart-sensors-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Eve Motion (motion, battery-powered Thread), the Meross MS600 (room occupancy, powered Wi-Fi) and the Shelly Flood Gen4 (water leaks, battery-powered Wi-Fi); the Eve Motion uses Thread, so it also needs a Thread border router. Pick by what you want to detect: motion, doors and windows, room presence or water leaks. Most of the Matter sensors we list with a CSA record use Thread, so they also need a Thread border router. The guide sorts the motion and door-and-window sensors sold in the US with a CSA record by the latest checked price, and links lists of every temperature, leak, smoke/CO and air-quality sensor. - [Which Matter smart lock should I buy?](https://mattercatalog.com/best-matter-smart-locks): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Yale Smart Lock with Matter (top pick), the Level Lock (Matter) (best design), the Aqara Smart Lock U200 (best retrofit), the Kwikset Halo Select (touchscreen keypad) and the eufy FamiLock E35 (best biometric lock); the Thread picks also need a Thread border router. - [Which Matter thermostat should I buy?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-smart-thermostats-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Meross MTS300MA (24 V HVAC, configure the equipment first), the Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) (24 V HVAC, learning schedules and a room sensor), the Nest Thermostat (2020) (24 V HVAC, scheduled temperature control) and the Honeywell Home X2S (RTH2SMC/N) (24 V HVAC, check the exact X2S model). Match your heating system first: most US homes need a 24 V HVAC model, while electric baseboard heat needs a line-voltage (120–240 V) model such as the Meross MTS215MA US, which has no CSA certificate on file. Two Nest thermostats support Matter, by Google's own pages: the Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) and the Nest Thermostat (2020). The guide's comparison table covers every thermostat sold in the US that we list (certificate, wiring, platforms and price); the guide's models all use Wi-Fi, so none needs a Thread border router. - [Which Nest thermostats work with Matter?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/which-nest-thermostats-work-with-matter): two of the six Nest thermostats do, the Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen, 2024) and the Nest Thermostat (2020); both are on the CSA certification ledger and join Matter over Wi-Fi. The Nest Thermostat E and the Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd, 2nd and 1st gen) have no Matter, and Google ended app support for the 1st and 2nd gen on October 25, 2025. One table of every model: year, how to tell it from the screen, ring and base (Google's identification page), CSA certificate, Apple Home through Matter, and Google's support status; plus how to share a Matter Nest to Apple Home or Alexa from the Google Home app. - [Which Matter hub, bridge or Thread border router should I buy?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-smart-hubs-2026): often the one you already own, so check your Matter controller first; of the guide's four hubs only the Aqara Hub M100 is a Thread border router. Our top CSA-certified picks are the SwitchBot Hub 2 (for compatible SwitchBot devices), the Philips Hue Bridge (for an existing Hue lighting system) and the SONOFF Bridge Max (for supported Zigbee devices — check your model and platform). Its cheapest-options table compares the speakers, displays, streamers and routers from Amazon, Apple and Google that are both a Matter controller and a Thread border router by their makers' own pages, and the stand-alone hubs with a CSA record that are Thread border routers, sorted by the latest checked price. A Matter bridge brings only its maker's own devices into Matter; it does not replace a Thread border router. - [Which Matter robot vacuum should I buy?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-robot-vacuums-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete (best overall), the SwitchBot K10+ Pro Combo (robot + handheld vacuum) and the SwitchBot K11+ (3.6-inch slim, self-emptying). - [Which Matter ceiling fan or fan control should I buy?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-ceiling-fans-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Inovelli White Series VTM36 (keep a compatible AC-motor fan) and the Linkind ColorBlend 52-inch CF5 (replace the whole fixture); the Inovelli White Series VTM36 uses Thread, so it also needs a Thread border router. The guide counts every Matter ceiling fan sold in the US with a CSA record on file (all use Wi-Fi) and the Matter fan controls (wall switches and canopy modules) that keep the fan you have; the Thread fan controls also need a Thread border router. - [Which Matter smart blinds or shade motor should I buy?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-smart-blinds-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Zemismart MT25B Matter over Thread Roller Shade Motor (CSA certificate CSA23D28MAT41837-24), the Zemismart Matter over Thread Smart Roller Shade Driver MTP1 (CSA certificate CSA25302MAT45652-24) and the Eve MotionBlinds Upgrade Kit for Roller Blinds (CSA certificate CSA250C8MAT45082-24); the Thread picks also need a Thread border router. The guide compares every blind, shade and curtain motor sold in the US with a CSA record on file (native Matter over Thread or Wi-Fi; a Thread motor needs a Thread border router, a Wi-Fi motor only your platform's Matter controller) and the SwitchBot Blind Tilt and Curtain 3, which reach Matter only through a Matter-enabled SwitchBot hub, sorted by the latest checked price; it names which of them have a maker's page that names Google Home or Apple Home. - [What are the best Matter devices to buy?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-devices-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Nanoleaf Essentials A19 (best smart light), the Eve Energy Smart Plug (US/CA) (best smart plug), the Aqara Smart Lock U400 (best smart lock) and the SwitchBot Hub 2 (best smart hub); the Thread picks also need a Thread border router. This is the buying guide: one pick and one alternative in 12 categories (lights, plugs, switches, locks, sensors, thermostats, hubs, blinds, fans, speakers, air purifiers, robot vacuums), each chosen by a CSA certificate matched to the exact model and a verified US store link, with a store link for every pick; it also says what a Matter smart home is, quoting the CSA's FAQ. - [Which cheap Matter devices are worth buying?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-cheap-matter-devices-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the LIFX Everyday A19 (a 2-pack of full-color bulbs), the Sengled Multicolor A19 (a single full-color Matter bulb) and the TP-Link Tapo P125M (ultra-compact Matter plug). - [Which Matter devices work well with Apple Home?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-homekit-devices-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Tapo P125M (a lamp or simple appliance), the Eve Motion (lighting triggered by movement), the Kasa KS225 smart dimmer (keep wall controls for your lights), the Meross MTS300MA (heating and cooling that fits your system) and the Philips Hue Bridge (bring existing Hue lights into Home); the Eve Motion uses Thread, so it also needs a Thread border router. Apple's own support page (read 2026-10-11) says the Home app supports these Matter accessory types: air conditioners, bridges, lights, locks, outlets, switches, thermostats, blinds and shades, and sensors; the guide counts, for each type, the products we list sold in the US whose maker's own page names Apple Home, and lists one certified pick per category. What you need, per Apple: a home hub (HomePod mini, HomePod or Apple TV 4K) to add Matter accessories, and for Thread accessories a Thread-enabled home hub or a third-party Thread border router. Since 2026-10-20 the guide also shortlists, per category (lights, plugs, locks, sensors, thermostats, blinds, switches), up to three products sold in the US that are CSA certified for the exact model and whose maker's own page names Apple Home, each linking the Apple Home list page for its type, and its FAQ answers whether all Matter devices work with Apple Home (no: only the types Apple lists), whether a hub is needed (iOS 18 can add and control Matter accessories without one; a hub adds away-from-home control, sharing and automations), whether HomeKit still matters when a device supports Matter, and what Thread devices need (a Thread-enabled home hub or border router). - [Which Matter smart plugs work with Apple Home?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-smart-plugs-for-apple-home): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Eve Energy Smart Plug (US/CA) (indoor plug, Thread), the IKEA GRILLPLATS Smart Plug (indoor plug, Thread), the Tapo P125M Smart Plug Mini (indoor plug, Wi-Fi), the Meross MSS115 Smart Plug Mini (US/CA) (indoor plug, Wi-Fi) and the Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi Outdoor Plug (D215O) (outdoor plug, Wi-Fi); the Thread picks also need a Thread border router. - [Which Matter devices work for renters?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-devices-for-renters-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Tapo P125M (plug-in, Wi-Fi), the Eve Energy Smart Plug (US/CA) (plug-in, Thread), the Linkind Matter Smart Filament Bulb (bulb, Wi-Fi), the Nanoleaf Essentials A19 (bulb, Thread) and the Shelly Flood Gen4 (battery, Wi-Fi); the Thread picks also need a Thread border router. - [Which Matter smart lock works for renters?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-smart-locks-for-renters-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the SwitchBot Lock Pro (mounts over the inside of an existing deadbolt), the Level Bolt (Matter) (replaces the bolt inside the door and keeps your exterior hardware) and the Aqara Smart Lock U200 Kit (retrofit lock kit with a fingerprint keypad); the Thread picks also need a Thread border router. - [Which Matter devices work outdoors?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-outdoor-devices-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Tapo P400M Smart Outdoor Plug (IP65 weatherproof with dual outlets), the Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi Outdoor Plug D215O (built-in light sensor) and the LIFX SuperColor BR30 (BR30 flood light format for covered recessed fixtures). - [Which smart speaker has the best Matter smart home integration?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-smart-speakers-2026): the one for the platform you already use that is both a Matter controller and a Thread border router: HomePod mini or HomePod (2nd generation) for Apple Home, Echo (4th generation) or Echo Show 8 (3rd generation, 2023) for Alexa, Nest Hub (2nd generation) or Nest Hub Max for Google Home, SmartThings Station for SmartThings. - [Which smart speakers are Matter controllers?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-smart-speakers-2026): for Apple Home, HomePod mini and HomePod (2nd generation), both also Thread border routers; for Alexa, Echo (4th generation), also a Thread border router, and Amazon's Thread list also names Echo Dot Max (2025) and Echo Studio (2025 release) (check Amazon's controller list for other Echo models); for Google Home, Google lists Google Home Speaker (2026), Nest Audio, Nest Mini, Google Home Mini and Google Home as Matter hubs, and only Google Home Speaker (2026) adds Thread; SmartThings has no speaker in the guide (its SmartThings Station is a dedicated hub). The guide's table shows each platform's speakers and other controllers with the maker's source. - [Which devices are Thread border routers?](https://mattercatalog.com/blog/thread-border-routers-explained) - [Which Matter switches work without a neutral wire?](https://mattercatalog.com/matter-devices/matter-switches-no-neutral) - [What is the difference between Matter and Thread?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/thread-vs-wifi-matter-devices): they are not alternatives. Matter is the smart home standard; Thread is one of the networks it runs on, alongside Wi-Fi and Ethernet. A Matter over Thread device needs a Thread border router; a Matter over Wi-Fi device does not. - [Should I buy Thread or Wi-Fi Matter devices?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/thread-vs-wifi-matter-devices): a Thread device needs a Thread border router; a Wi-Fi device does not. - [Matter vs Zigbee vs Z-Wave: what is the difference?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-vs-zigbee-vs-zwave): Matter runs on top of a network (Wi-Fi, Thread or Ethernet) and one Matter device can join several platforms; Zigbee and Z-Wave are separate ecosystems with their own radios, and their devices reach a Matter platform only through a bridge (the CSA says Matter and Zigbee devices have no native interoperability). - [How do I check that a device is really Matter certified?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/how-to-verify-matter-certification): match the exact model to its CSA certificate ID in the CSA certified-products database. - [How do I add a Matter device to Apple Home?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/add-matter-device-to-apple-home): power the accessory on, open the Home app, tap Add, then Add Accessory, and scan the Matter code (or hold the iPhone near it); then pick a room and a name. Apple says an iPhone on iOS 18 or later can add Matter accessories without a home hub but recommends one, and Thread accessories need a Thread-enabled home hub or another maker's Thread border router; Apple lists the Apple TV 4K (2nd generation), the Wi-Fi + Ethernet model of the Apple TV 4K (3rd generation), HomePod (2nd generation) and HomePod mini as Thread-enabled. Steps paraphrased from Apple's own support pages, each linked. - [How do I add a Matter device to Google Home?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/add-matter-device-to-google-home): put the device in pairing mode, then tap Scan QR code on the Google Home pop-up, or Add Device at the top right of the app (Add a different way if the code will not scan). Google requires a Matter-enabled hub for Google Home and IPv6 on the home router; a Thread device needs a hub that is also a Thread border router (Google Home Speaker (2026), Nest Hub (2nd gen), Nest Hub Max, Nest Wifi Pro, Google TV Streamer (4K)). - [How do I add a Matter device to Alexa?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/add-matter-device-to-alexa): in the Alexa app, Devices, +, Add Device, Matter (under Other if not shown), then Scan QR Code or Try Numeric Code Instead. You need a Matter-compatible Echo; a Thread device needs an Echo or eero that Amazon lists as a Thread border router. The app steps follow TP-Link's own setup guide. - [How do I add a Matter device to SmartThings?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/add-matter-device-to-smartthings): in the SmartThings app, Add (+), Add Device, Scan (or Enter setup code), then pick the hub and room; Thread devices need a controller with a Thread border router. From Samsung's own help article. - [Where is the Matter setup code, and what if I lost it?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-setup-code): on the device and on any sticker or card in the box: a QR code plus a numeric code (Apple and Samsung say 11 or 21 digits). If the device already works in an app, create a new pairing code there; some makers (TP-Link, Govee) show the code in their own app. Keep a photo of it before any factory reset. - [How do I use one Matter device with two apps (multi-admin)?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-multi-admin): create a pairing code in the app the device is already in and enter it in the second app; the printed code works only for the first app. Each app needs its own Matter hub, and Samsung says a device can be connected to at most 5 services. The page shows where Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant create the code. - [Why won't my Matter device pair?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-device-wont-pair): the causes the platforms' own help pages list, each with its fix: no Matter hub or no Thread border router, Bluetooth off, the phone on a different or 5 GHz network, IPv6 off, too far away, old firmware, an expired pairing window or code, a device still paired elsewhere, or a device already in 5 apps. - [How do I factory reset a Matter device?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/how-to-reset-matter-device): remove it from your app first, then use the maker's own reset steps (the page lists LIFX, Eve, TP-Link, Shelly, Leviton, Google Nest and Philips Hue, each from the maker's support page), and keep the setup code to add it again. - [Why is my Matter device not responding or offline?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-device-not-responding): restart the device, the hubs and any Thread border routers, check the maker's app for a firmware update and keep the phone on the device's Wi-Fi network; Google says Matter control fails later without IPv6, and TP-Link says a device goes unresponsive when its hub loses the router. Then remove, reset and re-add it. Steps per app (Apple Home, Google Home, SmartThings, Alexa, Home Assistant), each from the platform's or maker's own help page. - [How do I remove (unpair) a Matter device?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/remove-matter-device): remove it in each app it is in (Apple Home: Remove Accessory, or Settings, General, Matter Accessories; Google Home: Remove device; SmartThings: Remove; Home Assistant: Manage fabrics or Delete), then factory reset it if you are done with it. To move it to a new app, share it with a pairing code first, then remove it from the old one. - [How do I update a Matter device's firmware?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-firmware-updates): in the maker's own app (Apple and TP-Link send you there); Matter also has optional over-the-air updates, which Home Assistant checks every 12 hours. Keep the hub updated too (SmartThings hubs need firmware 45.9 or later). - [Why can't my Matter device find the Thread network?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-thread-network-problems): it needs a Thread border router that is on and on the same Wi-Fi network as the phone; several brands' border routers can make several separate Thread networks that devices cannot roam between. Fixes for devices dropping off (power cycles, IPv6, Wi-Fi interference on the Thread channel, mesh Wi-Fi multicast filtering) and lost Thread credentials. - [Do Matter Wi-Fi devices need 2.4 GHz?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-wifi-requirements): usually yes (Apple, Home Assistant, TP-Link and Govee say so); the router also needs IPv6 on, and the phone, hub and device should be on one network, not a guest or IoT network or a separate VLAN. - [How do I add a Matter device to Home Assistant?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/add-matter-device-to-home-assistant): add the Matter integration (it installs the Matter Server app on Home Assistant OS), then in the Companion app go to Settings, Connectivity, Matter, Add device, No. It's new, and scan the code. Thread devices need a Thread border router; devices already in Apple Home or Google Home are added with Yes. It's already in use. - [How do I fix or reset my Nest thermostat?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/nest-thermostat-troubleshooting): Start by finding which Nest thermostat you have: Google says to look at the display, the base or the Nest app, because the menus differ by model. Then restart it from Settings (a restart keeps your settings) before you reset it,… - [Why does my Matter device show unavailable in Home Assistant?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-device-unavailable-home-assistant): Home Assistant’s own docs give one cause for devices that fail to commission or become unavailable at random: Matter relies on IPv6 and mDNS multicast traffic moving freely on your network, and it does not mix well with VLANs,… - [How do I reset LIFX Matter devices?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/how-to-reset-matter-device/lifx): To reset a LIFX bulb, make sure it is on, then turn it off and on at the power source 5 times, slowly and evenly.

Eve Door & Window and Eve Motion: press the reset button inside the battery door with a paper clip until the red LED blinks… - [How do I reset Shelly Matter devices?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/how-to-reset-matter-device/shelly): On the Shelly Plug US Gen4, press and hold the button for 10 seconds to factory reset it; Shelly says this works up to 60 seconds after plugging the device in. Gen4 devices ship with Matter firmware by default. Gen3 devices need… - [Which Matter light strip should I buy?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-light-strips-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Govee LED Strip Lights 2 (light strip, Wi-Fi), the GE Smart LED Strip Light (light strip, Wi-Fi), the Dreame Strip Lights P11 (light strip, Wi-Fi), the LIFX Neon Outdoor (outdoor neon light, Wi-Fi) and the Zemismart Wi-Fi RGBCW LED Strip Driver (strip controller, Wi-Fi). The guide counts every light strip sold in the US with a CSA certificate for the exact model (none names Thread, so none needs a Thread border router) and quotes Govee's Matter FAQ: Matter covers on and off, brightness, color temperature and color, and the maker's app keeps working alongside. - [Which Matter devices work with SmartThings?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-smartthings-devices-2026): 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. Every pick's maker names SmartThings on its own page (quoted on the guide). Per Samsung, the SmartThings 2018 Hub and the Aeotec Smart Home Hub are Matter controllers, and the 2015 Hub handles Wi-Fi and LAN devices, plus Thread devices through another brand's Thread border router; SmartThings' blog says the latest SmartThings Hub, SmartThings Station, Samsung TVs and Family Hub refrigerators have Thread border routers. - [Which Matter devices work with Home Assistant?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-home-assistant-devices-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Aqara Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400 (presence sensor, Thread), the Eve Energy Smart Plug (US/CA) (smart plug, Thread), the Leviton Decora Evolve Smart Switch Module (VM2S1) (switch module, Wi-Fi), the Aqara Smart Lock U400 (smart lock, Thread) and the Zemismart MT25B Thread Roller Shade Motor (shade motor, Thread); the Thread picks also need a Thread border router. Every pick's maker names Home Assistant on its own page (quoted on the guide). Home Assistant runs its own Matter controller (the Matter Server app, supported on Home Assistant OS) and can use Apple or Google Thread border routers or be one with a Thread radio. - [What is a Matter controller, and which devices are one?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-controllers-explained): the hub that controls your Matter devices after setup (your phone's app only does the setup). Per each platform's own page: Apple Home, a HomePod, HomePod mini or Apple TV set up as a home hub; Google Home, Nest and Google speakers and displays, the Nest Wifi Pro and the Google TV Streamer; SmartThings, the SmartThings 2018 Hub or the Aeotec Smart Home Hub; LG, an LG TV with the hub feature; Home Assistant runs its own. The guide's table says which of them are also Thread border routers. - [How does Home Assistant run Matter?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-home-assistant): Home Assistant is a Matter controller: it runs its own Matter controller as an app and controls Matter devices on your local Wi-Fi or Thread network. A Thread device also needs a Thread border router, such as Home Assistant’s OpenThread Border Router app on a Connect ZBT-2, a HomePod mini, an Apple TV 4K or a Nest Hub (2nd gen); the guide marks a device as named only where its maker says so. - [How do I automate my whole home with Matter?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/whole-home-automation-matter): Pick one Matter controller you will keep (Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings or Home Assistant), then add certified devices room by room and give every Thread device a Thread border router; the plan ends with two starter kits at two budgets. - [Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa: which is best for Matter?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/apple-home-vs-google-home-vs-alexa-matter): none is best for every home; the same Matter devices work with all four platforms (SmartThings included), and one device can be shared between them. The guide compares, in each platform's own words, the hub each needs (HomePod or Apple TV; Google speakers, displays, Nest Wifi Pro or Google TV Streamer; an Echo; a SmartThings hub), which hubs are Thread border routers, which device types each app lists, and how sharing works, with counts of the CSA-certified products whose records list each platform. - [Tapo or Meross for Matter?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/tapo-vs-meross-matter): choose by the device you need. Both make CSA-certified Wi-Fi Matter plugs that work with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings; Tapo's certified US lineup adds wall switches and dimmers, Meross's a thermostat and a Thread presence sensor. Counts by type, network, hubs and platforms come from the CSA records. - [Aqara or SwitchBot for Matter?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/aqara-vs-switchbot-matter): choose by the device and the network. Aqara's CSA-certified products mostly use Thread (they need a Thread border router) and include sensors; SwitchBot's mostly use Wi-Fi and include robot vacuums and air purifiers. Both make hubs, locks and switches; the makers' own words on file are quoted under each pick. - [Philips Hue or Nanoleaf for Matter?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/philips-hue-vs-nanoleaf-matter): with a Hue Bridge, every Hue light reaches Matter through it (Hue's own page); Hue bulbs with the Matter logo and Nanoleaf's certified lights join directly, and Thread ones need a Thread border router. Nanoleaf's Wi-Fi bulbs need none. - [Which Matter outdoor lights should I buy?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-outdoor-lights-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Nanoleaf Smart Permanent Outdoor Lights Smarter Kit (permanent outdoor lights, Wi-Fi), the Govee Outdoor S14 Bulb String Lights 2 (outdoor string lights, Wi-Fi), the LIFX Outdoor SuperColor Path Light Round (outdoor path light, Wi-Fi), the Govee Outdoor Security Floodlight (outdoor floodlight, Wi-Fi) and the LIFX Neon Outdoor (outdoor neon light, Wi-Fi). The guide lists every outdoor light sold in the US with a CSA certificate for the exact model, by kind (none names Thread, so none needs a Thread border router), and quotes Govee's Matter FAQ: Matter covers on and off, brightness, color temperature and color. - [Which Matter air conditioners and humidifiers are certified?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-air-conditioners-humidifiers-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the TCL Portable AC (portable air conditioner, Wi-Fi), the AC Infinity Smart Air Conditioner (air conditioner, Thread), the Govee Smart Humidifier Lite (humidifier, Wi-Fi) and the SwitchBot Evaporative Humidifier (evaporative humidifier, Wi-Fi); the AC Infinity Smart Air Conditioner uses Thread, so it also needs a Thread border router. The guide lists each certified air conditioner, humidifier and dehumidifier sold in the US with the device type on its own CSA certificate (thermostat, room air conditioner or fan), next to the device types Apple's Home app and Google's developer list name. - [Eve or Aqara for Matter?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/eve-vs-aqara-matter): choose by the device you need. Both make CSA-certified Matter-over-Thread sensors and switches; Eve's certified US lineup adds plugs and a blind motor, Aqara's locks and hubs. Eve's own page says to add a hub that supports both Thread and Matter. Counts by type, network, hubs and platforms come from the CSA records. - [Govee or LIFX for Matter?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/govee-vs-lifx-matter): choose by the light you need. Both make CSA-certified Wi-Fi Matter lights, so neither needs a Thread border router; Govee's certified US lineup adds fans, air purifiers and humidifiers, LIFX's wall switches. Counts by type, network, platforms and stores come from the CSA records. - [Is Matter the same as HomeKit?](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-vs-homekit): no, and they are not rivals: HomeKit is Apple's smart home framework (its accessories use the HomeKit Accessory Protocol), Matter is the CSA's cross-platform standard, and Apple Home runs both. Sourced table of what differs, the hub you need and the device types Apple lists, with the day each Apple and CSA page was read (October 28, 2026). - [Which smart home brands support Matter?](https://mattercatalog.com/which-brands-support-matter): brand by brand (Ring, Wyze, ecobee, Philips Hue, Aqara and more), the brand's certified models on the CSA's Distributed Compliance Ledger with first and newest certification dates, device types and Thread or Wi-Fi, how many MatterCatalog lists and sells in the US, and the maker's own words where it states something about Matter; each brand has its own #anchor. - [Is a device Matter certified, and which platforms does it work with?](https://mattercatalog.com/browse): search the catalog; each product page answers it (see below). - [How many Matter certified devices can I buy in the US?](https://mattercatalog.com/matter-devices/matter-certified-devices): the page gives the current count of products whose CSA certificate MatterCatalog matched to the exact model and that have a verified US store link, by category; llms-full.txt lists each one. ## How to read a product page Each device has a page at https://mattercatalog.com/product/{id}. Under the title it gives a one-line summary and an "At a glance" line: Matter certified (yes, with the certification date, or what the record shows instead), connectivity, the platforms the record lists ("Works with", only for certified products) and whether it is, or needs, a Thread border router. Further down: the certificate ID linked to the CSA database, verified US store links, "Before you buy" maker requirements with their source and check date, a "Sold outside the US" label for regional variants, and "Quick answers" also published as FAQPage structured data. Records with no US store link and no photo are compact "Certification record" pages. ## Start here - [Home](https://mattercatalog.com/): featured devices and catalog entry points - [Browse all devices](https://mattercatalog.com/browse): search and filter the catalog by category, brand, protocol and platform - [Categories](https://mattercatalog.com/categories): every device category - [Brands](https://mattercatalog.com/matter-brands): brand index, with a page per brand - [Which brands support Matter?](https://mattercatalog.com/which-brands-support-matter): brand-by-brand answers from the CSA ledger and the catalog - [Buying guides](https://mattercatalog.com/guides): all guides - [Product listings and retailer options](https://mattercatalog.com/deals): selected products with their store options - [New devices](https://mattercatalog.com/new): the newest records added to the catalog - [Matter certification statistics](https://mattercatalog.com/matter-statistics): certified models by category, network, brand, month and platform, with definitions, sources and a free CSV/JSON download of the data - Counts: the catalog counts on the site (devices, brands, certificates, stores) are computed from the catalog records at each build. llms-full.txt lists the CSA-certified devices sold in the US with a verified store link by category, with each category's count; /matter-statistics gives certified models by category, network, brand and month, with its method and sources; /editorial-policy explains the certification labels, store-link checks and price rules. ## Buying guides Guides answered above are not repeated here. - [Best Matter devices by room](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-devices-by-room-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Nanoleaf Essentials A19 (living room), the Govee LED Strip Lights 2 (kitchen), the Kasa KS225 dimmer (bedroom), the Level Lock (Matter) (front door & entry) and the Shelly Flood Gen4 (bathroom); the Thread picks also need a Thread border router. - [Best Matter smart home starter kit](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-starter-kit-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the LIFX Everyday A19 (lighting (2 bulbs)), the TP-Link Tapo P125M (smart plug), the Eve Energy Smart Plug (US/CA) (energy-monitoring plug (Thread)), the Aqara Smart Lock U400 (smart lock) and the SwitchBot Hub 2 (hub / IR blaster); the Thread picks also need a Thread border router. - [Best Matter smart home gifts](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-smart-home-gifts-2026): Our top CSA-certified picks are the Tapo P125M (a smart plug), the Govee Smart Humidifier Lite (a smart humidifier), the Eve Energy 2-pack (two Thread smart plugs) and the Google Nest Thermostat (a smart thermostat); the Eve Energy 2-pack uses Thread, so it also needs a Thread border router. - [Best Matter smart lights: bulbs, strips and more](https://mattercatalog.com/best-matter-smart-lights): six picks by award, with a Thread vs Wi-Fi buying guide and a table of the brands that make Matter lights, with each brand's counts - [Matter smart plug price comparison](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-smart-plug-price-comparison): verified links at two or more US stores per plug - [Best Matter smart locks: match the lock to your door](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-smart-locks-2026): start with your door. Replacement deadbolts: Level Lock (Matter), Aqara Smart Lock U400, Kwikset Halo Select and eufy FamiLock E34; retrofits that keep your deadbolt: Nuki Smart Lock (US Deadbolt), or the SwitchBot Lock Pro, a Bluetooth lock that reaches Matter through the Matter-enabled SwitchBot Hub Mini in its bundle. Every lock in it except the SwitchBot uses Matter over Thread, so it needs a Thread border router. The guide also compares every door lock sold in the US with a CSA record on file (most use Thread; a Wi-Fi lock needs only your platform's Matter controller), with each lock's certificate, whether its own record names Apple Home Key, the platforms its maker names and the latest checked price, and answers whether the Aqara U100 is a Matter lock (its record has no CSA certificate; the U200 Kit has one). - [Matter air purifiers: what to check before buying](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-air-purifiers-2026): shopping criteria, not a ranking: confirm the exact retail model, region and setup requirements, because Matter support in a product line does not make every model equivalent; its list of air purifiers sold in the US shows each model's CSA certificate status. Every Matter air purifier sold in the US with a CSA record on file is CSA certified for the exact model and uses Wi-Fi, so none needs a Thread border router (brands: Govee, Dyson, SwitchBot and xCREAS); the guide compares them by the latest checked price and names those whose maker's own page names Amazon Alexa. - [Best Matter Thread devices](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-thread-devices-2026): Our top CSA-certified pick is the Nanoleaf Essentials A19 (Thread bulb); it uses Thread, so it also needs a Thread border router. The guide's two checked Thread picks are that bulb and the US/CA Eve Energy plug (model 20EBU4101); SwitchBot Hub 2 is there as a Matter bridge on Wi-Fi, not a Thread border router. It counts the Matter devices sold in the US whose record names Thread as their Matter network, by category (every one needs a Thread border router and a Matter controller), compares one CSA-certified Thread pick per category guide by the latest checked price, and names the Thread border routers Apple, Google and Amazon list. - [Best Matter devices for Alexa](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-alexa-devices-2026): how many Matter products sold in the US list Alexa, and picks for lighting, locks, thermostats, sensors, plugs and blinds; a Matter device joins Alexa without a brand-specific bridge when Alexa supports its device type, and Thread devices also need a Thread border router. It also counts, by category, the products whose maker's own page names Amazon Alexa (a store listing alone does not count), compares one CSA-certified pick per category guide whose maker names Alexa by the latest checked price, and names the Amazon devices whose Amazon pages document the Matter controller role (Amazon Echo Hub and Amazon Echo Show 8, 2025 release) and the Echo models Amazon's developer documentation lists as Thread border routers. - [Best Matter devices for Google Home](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/best-matter-google-home-devices-2026): how many Matter products sold in the US list Google Home, and picks for lighting, locks, thermostats, sensors, plugs and blinds; a Matter device joins Google Home without a brand-specific bridge when Google Home supports its device type, and Thread devices also need a Thread border router. Google's own page (read 2026-10-11) says you need a Matter-enabled hub for Google Home before adding Matter devices; the hubs that support Matter over both Wi-Fi and Thread are Google Home Speaker (2026), Nest Hub (2nd gen), Nest Hub Max, Nest Wifi Pro (Wi-Fi 6E) and Google TV Streamer (4K). The guide counts, for each category, the products we list whose maker's own page names Google Home, lists one certified pick per category by price, and notes Google's limit that remote and voice unlock are disabled for Matter locks that do not mandate a PIN code. ## Setup, certification and protocol guides - [Matter vs Thread vs Wi-Fi](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/thread-vs-wifi-matter-devices): Matter vs Thread answered with sources, what each network needs, which device types use which, matched picks - [How to verify Matter certification](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/how-to-verify-matter-certification): a five-step check; if the exact certificate is not available for the exact model, treat certification as unconfirmed. - [Matter certified vs Matter compatible](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-certified-vs-matter-compatible): what "certified" (an exact certificate for the exact product), "compatible" (native, through a hub, or advertised) and "support claimed, certification unverified" mean on a product page. - [Getting started with Matter](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/getting-started-with-matter): what Matter is, what you need (a Matter controller, plus a Thread border router for Thread devices) and how to add your first device. - [Matter vs Zigbee vs Z-Wave](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-vs-zigbee-vs-zwave): Matter is the cross-platform standard (Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings); Zigbee and Z-Wave are separate mesh ecosystems whose devices reach Matter only through a bridge; Thread is one of the networks Matter runs on, alongside Wi-Fi and Ethernet. Every comparison cell is sourced to the CSA, the Thread Group, the Z-Wave Alliance or the platforms' own pages. - [Matter vs Z-Wave smart locks](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/matter-vs-zwave-smart-locks-2026): for a new lock, Matter lets one lock join Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings, and Matter over Thread suits batteries better than Wi-Fi; keep Z-Wave locks that already work with your Z-Wave hub. Every reason is sourced to the CSA, the Z-Wave Alliance, Google or Home Assistant. - [IKEA vs Philips Hue for Matter](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/ikea-vs-philips-hue-matter): start with what you own. IKEA KAJPLATS bulbs are Matter-over-Thread lights that need a Thread border router and a Matter controller, with no IKEA hub required for Matter; every Hue light can reach Matter through a Hue Bridge, and Hue's Matter-enabled bulbs, such as the Essential A19, can also join directly over Thread. - [Which IKEA products work with Matter?](https://mattercatalog.com/matter-brands/ikea): every IKEA Matter product we list, grouped by type (KAJPLATS bulbs by bulb base, lamps and LED drivers, BILRESA remotes, sensors, plugs and the DIRIGERA hub), with each one's CSA certificate, Matter network, IKEA US store link or US version, and the IKEA article number our records carry; plus whether KAJPLATS works with a Philips Hue Bridge (Philips Hue lists the Bridge's protocols as Bluetooth and Zigbee, not Thread) and which Thread border routers Apple, Google, Amazon, SmartThings and IKEA name. - [Feit Electric vs AiDot budget Matter bulbs](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/feit-vs-aidot-budget-matter): Feit Electric for the widest choice of bulb types and wide US retail availability; AiDot for the lowest price per device and plugs, strips and sensors in one app. - [iRobot vs Roborock Matter robot vacuums](https://mattercatalog.com/guides/irobot-vs-roborock-matter-vacuums): compared from manufacturer information: iRobot for its obstacle detection and US support; Roborock for higher listed suction and vacuum-and-mop models. - [What is Matter?](https://mattercatalog.com/what-is-matter) - [How to set up Matter devices](https://mattercatalog.com/how-to-set-up-matter) - [Matter FAQ](https://mattercatalog.com/matter-faq) - [Matter Thread devices](https://mattercatalog.com/matter-devices/matter-thread-devices) - [Wi-Fi Matter devices](https://mattercatalog.com/wifi-matter) - [Bluetooth and Matter](https://mattercatalog.com/bluetooth-matter) - [Blog](https://mattercatalog.com/blog) - [Thread border routers explained](https://mattercatalog.com/blog/thread-border-routers-explained): which Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung and Nanoleaf devices include one - [Matter versions explained](https://mattercatalog.com/blog/matter-versions-explained): what each release from Matter 1.0 to 1.6 added, quoted from the CSA's announcements, and Matter 1.6.1, which the CSA's specifications page lists but the CSA has not announced; how many certified devices use each version, counted from the CSA's certification ledger; which US products we list are certified on Matter 1.4 or later, with certificate IDs; and the Matter cameras on the ledger - [Matter energy management](https://mattercatalog.com/blog/matter-energy-management-devices) - [What is Matter?
