I’m excited to share this insightful video by Enreta Domotica, which delves into the compatibility of various Zigbee hubs with the Matter protocol. As a valued member of the Aqara community, this content is particularly relevant as it explores how different hubs, including Aqara’s M2 and M1S, interact with Matter—a crucial aspect of modern smart home ecosystems.
In this comprehensive review, Enreta tests hubs from Philips, Ikea, Inner, Switchbot, Sonoff, and Aqara, revealing which ones are currently compatible with Matter. Key takeaways include:
- Aqara M2 and M1S Hubs: Fully compatible with Matter, enabling seamless integration with Matter-enabled devices.
- Switchbot Hub 2: Also Matter-compatible, offering advanced features like temperature monitoring.
- Sonoff iHoS: Supports Matter, functioning as a versatile home automation hub.
Enreta emphasizes that Matter compatibility for hubs doesn’t automatically mean all connected devices are compatible. This distinction is crucial as Matter is still in its beta phase, with ongoing developments and updates.
What are your thoughts on Matter’s current state and its impact on your smart home setup? Have you experienced compatibility issues or successes with Matter-enabled devices? Share your experiences and insights below!
For those interested in diving deeper into Matter, Enreta plans a more detailed video explaining its concepts in basic terms. Stay tuned for that and don’t hesitate to ask questions or share your own findings in the comments.
