Which hub is right for me?
Which hub is right for me?
Matter talks Thread.
Matter devices truly shine when they talk via Thread. This groundbreaking network technology makes your smart home more responsive, robust, and increases its reach – all Eve devices embrace Thread.
This is why you need a hub that - besides Matter ( xxx Matter Controller) – also supports Thread ( yyy Thread Border Router). Whether it be Apple Home, Samsung SmartThings, Amazon Alexa or Google Home, each platform offers a selection of hubs combining these two functionalities in one device.
Step 1: All-in-one hub for your first platform.
To bring the right hub into your home, first decide which platform you want to use to control your smart home devices. If it's via Siri or the Apple Home app, go for one of the listed hubs from Apple. If it's Alexa you'd like to ask to control your home, choose the listed Echo hub, and so on...
