Entering the Matter Era
Matter provides a more cohesive, unified smart home experience for users. It simplifies the process of setting up and managing devices and allows seamless interoperability across smart home devices and platforms.
RELIABILITY
SIMPLICITY
SECURITY
INTEROPERABILITY
As one of the first sensors to support Matter natively, the Door and Window Sensor P2 connects directly to Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, and Aqara Home in the near future through the Matter-compatible Aqara Thread border router. This will build rich and varied smart home scenarios and can work entirely on your local network.
* The functionality such as automation conditions may vary throughout the different ecosystems, Aqara Home and hubs are not supported currently
Matter Controller and Thread Border
Router Support: what is required?
To add the P2 to a particular Matter-enabled app, your device or devices will need to have both Matter controller and Thread border router functionalities. In case you are looking for a one-step solution or intend to upgrade the existing situation, there are several options for different cases:
Minimum Requirement:
2-in-1 Matter Controller & Thread Border Router
A growing number of Thread Border Routers with Matter controller functionality are tested:
Apple TV 4K (3rd gen, 128 GB)
Apple TV 4K (2nd gen)
HomePod (2nd gen)
HomePod mini
SmartThings Hub v3
Aeotec Hub v3
SmartThings Station
Echo (4th generation)
Nest Hub (2nd gen)
Nest Hub Max
Nest Wi-Fi Pro
Home Assistant Yellow
Matter-enabled app
(e.g., Alexa)
Matter-over-Thread device
(e.g., Door and Window Sensor P2)
A 2-in-1 that supports this app
(e.g., Echo (4th generation))
Optional:
Using a Matter controller and a separate Border Router
In case you already have a 2-in-1 Matter Controller & Thread Border Router, but want to connect the device to an additional app, you can just add a more common and affordable Matter Controller to your setup:
Matter-enabled app of your choice
(e.g., Apple Home)
Matter-over-Thread device
(e.g., Door and Window Sensor P2)
A Matter-compatible Thread Border Router
(e.g., Echo (4th generation))
A Non-Thread Matter Controller
(e.g., Apple HomePod (1st generation))
Achieving the best functionality and Aqara Home support:
Aqara Hub M3
(To be announced)
In the future, you will be able to add Aqara Matter over Thread devices to Aqara Home and get additional functionalities and improvements such as longer battery life. In this case, Aqara Border Router such as Hub M3 will be required.
