How We Compiled This Matter Compatible Devices List
Our 2026 Matter-compatible devices list is derived from the official product catalog of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), manufacturer claims, retail listings, and community research. We only list devices that are already fully Matter-certified — not “Matter-ready” or “planned” devices — with the sole exception of devices confirmed to receive firmware updates where the update is already publicly available for download.
We group devices by category, provide platform compatibility notes (Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings), and flag Thread-capable devices separately, since Thread support affects border router requirements and expected battery life.
The Matter protocol supports simultaneous control across multiple platforms via Multi-Admin. Unless stated otherwise, all devices on this list work with Apple Home (iOS 16.1+), Google Home (Android/iOS), Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings — no extra bridges needed.
Matter Certified Smart Lights (Bulbs, Strips, and Luminaires)

Matter Hubs and Bridges
Matter bridges connect non-Matter devices (Zigbee, Z-Wave, proprietary protocols) to Matter controllers. If you already have a smart home, a bridge lets you keep your existing devices instead of replacing them.
| Bridge/Hub | Price | Bridges | Thread Router |
|---|---|---|---|
| Philips Hue Bridge v2 | $59.99 | Zigbee (Hue devices) | No |
| IKEA Dirigera | $69.99 | Zigbee (IKEA devices) | No |
| Aqara Hub M3 | $89.99 | Zigbee + Z-Wave + IR | Yes |
| Samsung SmartThings Station | $69.99 | Zigbee + Z-Wave | Yes |
| Ecobee SmartThermostat Premium | $249 | N/A (thermostat only) | Yes |
| HomePod (2nd gen) | $299 | N/A (controller only) | Yes |
Best bridge for Zigbee users: Aqara Hub M3 — bridges Zigbee, Z-Wave, and IR to Matter while also acting as a Thread border router.
Best for IKEA device owners: IKEA Dirigera — provides Matter connectivity for all IKEA smart home products, including 21 new 2025 Matter models.
How to Verify a Device Is Matter Certified
With “Matter-ready” marketing claims everywhere, always verify certification before purchase:
- Visit the CSA Certified Product Database
- Search by brand, model name, or product type
- Certified products display a Certificate ID and certification date
- Alternatively, look for the Matter triangle logo on the physical packaging — this confirms the product is certified, not just “compatible”
Frequently Asked Questions: Matter Compatible Devices
How many Matter certified devices are there in 2026?
According to the CSA Matter Product Database (early 2026), there are 4,000+ Matter-certified products spanning lights, smart plugs, locks, thermostats, sensors, cameras, bridges, and energy meters.
Do all Matter devices work with all platforms?
Yes — that’s the core promise of Matter. Any certified Matter device should work with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings. Certain advanced features (like Apple’s Adaptive Lighting or Google’s Snapshot history) are platform-specific and depend on the controller to implement them.
Are IKEA devices Matter compatible?
Yes. IKEA launched 21 Matter-certified products in 2025, including TRÅDFRI bulbs, PARASOLL sensors, and DIRIGERA-based devices. The Dirigera hub acts as a Matter bridge for existing IKEA Zigbee devices. IKEA is among the most committed Matter adopters in the consumer market.
What is the cheapest Matter device?
The IKEA PARASOLL door/window sensor ($9.99) and IKEA TRÅDFRI LED bulbs ($8.99) are currently the most affordable Matter-certified devices available at major retailers.
Can Zigbee devices be used with Matter?
Not directly — Zigbee is a separate protocol. However, Matter Bridges (Philips Hue Bridge v2, Aqara Hub M3, IKEA Dirigera) can expose Zigbee devices to Matter controllers. Some devices (certain Philips Hue and IKEA products) have received Matter support via OTA firmware update.
Does Philips Hue support Matter?
Yes. Philips Hue Bridge v2 (released in 2016) received Matter bridge firmware in 2023. Hue bulbs paired to a Hue Bridge v2 appear as Matter devices in Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, and SmartThings — no additional hardware needed.
What Matter devices work with Apple Home without a hub?
Wi-Fi-based Matter devices work directly with Apple Home without any hub. Thread-based Matter devices require a Thread border router, which is built into HomePod mini, HomePod (2nd gen), and Apple TV 4K (3rd gen) — devices many Apple Home users already own.
Are there Matter devices under $20?
Plenty. IKEA TRÅDFRI bulbs ($8.99), Sengled Smart Bulbs ($9.99 each), IKEA PARASOLL sensor ($9.99), TP-Link Tapo P125M plug ($15.99), Aqara Temperature Sensor E1 ($17.99), and Meross MSS315 plug ($17.99) all come in under $20 with full Matter certification and cross-platform compatibility.
