In late June 2025, the latest update to the Matter standard made a quiet debut on GitHub. Labeled as version 1.4.2 (Link), this release focuses primarily on maintenance, bringing a host of refinements and optimizations. Though it doesn’t introduce any new device types, the update underscores the continuous development efforts behind this cross-manufacturer protocol.
Good to know! ![]()
@AqaraOfficial Will you integrate electricity consumption measurement via the Matter protocol? This is important for home assistant integration.
@dominik.prucha Actually we have integrated electricity consumption measurement on Matter over Thread devices. And we are also integrating it on Zigbee devices now (via Matter Bridge). Which device you are using?
I use Aqara Smart Plug, Aqara Dual Relay T2, but I have about 20 different devices from Aqara @Peng How did you do it? I use everything via ZigBee and I have an m3 hub.
That is great, great news, and I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.
I would also like to know on which firmware or configuration it is implemented? I am using M3 and M2 with Aqara devices like Dual Relay, Smart Plug, or Wall Switches and I see no energy stats in HomeAssistant, in which Aqara is integrated via Matter and I am running the latest HA version with everything updated to this day.
Thank you.
Looking forward to this. ![]()
US version?
You mean which product?
No, you did not get it. The problem is, that the product that supports it, they do not expose energy stats via Matter – but you claim it is supported – which is not true as of now.
Sorry this may have caused some misunderstanding. The power consumption measurement feature for Zigbee devices is currently being developed to be exposed to Matter via Bridge. However, Aqara has many such Zigbee devices, so support will be rolled out gradually.
It would be good if @AqaraOfficial confirmed this implementation.
US outlet and US wall switch (first gen)
Yes, please keep us informed about this matter.
Watching this!
I think this is a specifically a matter thing. But the way it turns on Lights is Jarring. It turns the light on to the previous settings first, before setting to the current scene. This feels cumbersome at all times of day, but especially at night when all you want is a nightlight. This does not happen with HomeKit. When I set a scene on HomeKit, it doesn’t light to the previous setting first. The fact that this has been the case since the first version of Matter and still to this day is concerning. I’ve tried to reach out many times, but I get no response. There is no way to communicate with them.
I’m also interested in the resolution.
Any new information?
Will you update Hub M3 to Matter 1.4.2 compliant firmware soon?
