How to Control All Your Smart Devices with Android Using Matter
Managing smart home devices used to mean juggling multiple apps and hubs. But now, thanks to Matter, Android phones with Android 15 or later can control all your compatible smart bulbs, thermostats, plugs, and more from one central place—usually Google Home or the device control panel.
What is Matter?
Matter is an open-source, universal smart home standard supported by Google, Apple, Amazon, and others. It connects devices simply over Wi-Fi and Thread—no separate app for each product!
How to Connect Devices via Matter
- Open the Google Home app on your Android phone.
- Tap Add device → Choose Set up Matter-enabled device.
- Scan the QR code from the device packaging.
- Follow pairing instructions to link it to your home network.
Supported Devices
Matter works with many major brands like Philips Hue, Nest, Eve, and LG. Devices must have Matter certification (look for the logo).
With Android + Matter, your smart home setup becomes seamless, secure, and centralized.
