Which Matter devices are actually supported?

The following devices work without any problems in my Matter environment (Google Home and ioBroker):

Door lock

Humidifier/air purifier

Lighting

Power outlets with energy measurement

Roller blinds

Room thermostat

Robot vacuum cleaner

Motion detector

On the NSPanel pro 120, I can currently only connect lighting via Matter; the rest does not work at all :(.

So now to my question: which devices are actually supported by the Matter Hub, and with which Matter version?

I apologize for the delayed response. Currently, the device types and capabilities supported by NSPanelPro via the Matter hub are:
On/Off Plug-in Unit
Extended Color Light
Aggregator
On/Off Light Switch
Color Temperature Light
Occupancy Sensor
Contact Sensor
Humidity Sensor
Generic Switch
On/Off Light
Dimmable Light
and Light Sensor.

Therefore, many of the types you mentioned may not be supported yet. I will relay this feedback to our team, and we will gradually work on supporting more types in the future.

This is just a list of categories, but a complete list of devices would be helpful.

Why are these types, like many others not supported on the iHost?

But for the matter to work, you only need the list of categories! If the device correctly matches its category, it will be paired with the HUB, and the same goes for iHost and Nspanel Pro! At least, that’s how it works for me!

I would say that the only company that accepts various categories of business without much trouble is SmartThings! Google and Alexa have their own issues.

Trying to connect things to the Aqara ecosystem is a nightmare! Because of the category, they accept fewer things than Sonoff!

Quite possibly, that’s one of the reasons I’m using their hub, but in this case I am asking @Milk about a couple of very basic device types.
The most typical automation in the most basic of smart homes is switching on a light with a contact sensor.

The implementation in iHost by matt3r was still in beta, in fact it still is, and only accepts the basics. Unless you use iHost as the default base for your automations, which doesn’t make much sense if you use SmartThings or Google Home, this limitation in iHost doesn’t matter much, since the correct way would be to automate on the final platform where it receives all the device matter data. iHost won’t export the device matter data again.

Now, if the idea is to put everything on iHost and do the automations there, which I don’t see the point in due to limitations in automation there, that would really be a problem.

I’m not sure there’s a single “correct” way. In my case, about 90% of my automations are bridged to SmartThings, which for me is still the best designed mainstream routines platform. For more complex logic, I use Node-RED on iHost.

That’s why I’d like to hear from @Milk or others: can we expect support for basic Matter device types similar to what’s already available?

Hi, I have confirmed with the responsible colleague regarding the discussion about iHost. In future versions of iHost, support for more device types via the Hub will be updated, and this may happen in the second half of this year.

Thanks for the follow-up :+1:

Wann wird es mal in der Sache Matter eine Aktualisierung mit mehr Geräteunterstützung geben?Bis jetzt ist das NSPanel120 noch immer unbrauchbar in Sachen Matter.

When will there be an update for Matter with more device support?So far, the NSPanel120 is still unusable for Matter.

Hi
Which device types are now accepted by the iHost for Matter pairing after updating to 2.12?

  • Matter Hub now supports the following Matter device types:

    • Temperature Sensor
    • Contact Sensor
    • Occupancy Sensor
    • Light Sensor
    • Air Quality Sensor
    • Smoke CO Alarm
    • Generic Switch
    • Dimmable Plug-in Unit

However, I noticed that if you share a Tuya bridge, the presence sensors (with built-in light sensors) and the switches are recognized by the iHost! I’m also having an issue where one bridge shows as offline—but only on the iHost; it doesn’t appear offline on any other platform.

Yes, thanks I did see that on the update notes but as I’ve had inconsistent results this morning I was interested to see at this point what devices are included and those not supported.
Great to have the IKEA Alpstuga sensor now reporting PM2.5, CO2, Air Quality, T & H so I can use in Node-red.
For some reason plugs were not pairing, but in third and fourth attempts OK, although energy outlets (Eve, IKEA, Onvis) are not showing power values unfortunately. I hope that is coming soon.
BTW the Matter contact sensors on the iHost show opened when closed, and viceversa. A bug, not a problem for using in Node-red as they show as detected, true or false.

Hello, thank you very much for your detailed feedback!

We are glad to see that the IKEA Alpstuga sensor is now working properly and that data such as PM2.5, CO₂, air quality, temperature, and humidity are reported normally.

Regarding the issue you mentioned about plugs requiring multiple pairing attempts – in order to further identify the cause, we kindly request that you use the feedback/support feature on the iHost local web page to submit the complete iHost log files. This feature allows you to attach the logs directly, and our engineers will receive them for detailed analysis.

In addition, we also take seriously the issue you mentioned about smart plugs from brands such as Eve, IKEA, and Onvis not displaying power values. Could you please provide the specific model numbers of these devices? We will test them in our test environment as soon as possible and assess the feasibility of adding support in future firmware or software updates.

Regarding the Matter contact sensors showing the opposite status (open when closed and vice versa), please rest assured that we will fix this issue as soon as possible.

We look forward to your reply and will do our utmost to assist you in resolving the issue. Thank you!

Thanks for your reply @Miao
Just now having problem pairing an Eve plug, still not paired after 4 attempts showing error code 110044. Have sent log on the iHost feedback web page.

Those plugs not showing power values are the Eve Energy Plug (Matter over Thread) and the IKEA Grillplats Plug which are displaying Power and Energy consumption perfectly in Smartthings (Sorry my mistake, the Onvis plug does not disply energy!)

Hi @Miao
I checked several Matter devices:

OCCUPANCY SENSOR NOT WORKING - Meross MS600, MS605, and EVE MOTION - error (110045) when adding the device to IHOST.

Zemismart WiFi Smart Switch (ZM606-6) device cannot be added to IHOST (Error 110045)

I added EVE ENERGY, MEROSS MSS315EU, SONOFF S61S, and SONOFF S61STPF devices to IHOST - currently, IHOST does not display power consumption.

SONOFF SAWF-07P and SAWF-08P devices were successfully added to IHOST.

SMOKE SENSOR Heiman HS1SA-M matter over Thread added to IHOST
After restarting the IHOST device, the smoke detector went offline. Additionally, the device was offline in SmartThings and HomeAssistant. After removing the smoke detector from the IHOST, the device went online in SmartThings and HomeAssistant.
