What does the Matter announcement mean for the G4?
I use Home Assistant without Apple devices. I’m very interested in integrating the G4, including the video stream.
Will this work with the doorbell firmware 4.3.5 and the app 5.1.9? Currently, the doorbell is running 4.0.6_0024.0072, and the app is running 5.1.8.
Thank you for reaching out with your question.
To support Expanded Matter Device functionality, a product must have 【Matter Controller】capabilities. Currently, this feature is only available on select Aqara hubs/gateways. Since the G4 is a standalone doorbell, it does not include this functionality.
For Matter Controller support, I’d recommend exploring other Aqara products with hub capabilities, such as Hub M3 (Hub M100 and G5 Pro Camera will also support soon). These devices are designed to enable the expanded functionality you’re looking for.
Does that mean that the G4 works with Home Assistant (incl. video streaming) wegen I buy a M3 hub?
This announcement only applies to matter controller , and doorbell is not one so it will not be supported in G4.
