Compatibility checker

Pick a hub and a device type and see whether they work together — natively, via a bridge or dongle, or not at all. Built from the same data as the interoperability matrix on the Hubs page.

How to read this. "Native" means the hub has the radio built in and needs nothing extra. "Via bridge/dongle" means it works, but only with additional hardware — a Homey Bridge, a USB stick, or a manufacturer gateway. "Not supported" means there is no practical path. This reflects typical current models; firmware updates do add protocols over time, so confirm against the vendor's own spec sheet before buying.

How a mixed-brand setup works

Press play, or tap the door sensor, to see why the hub decides what works together.

A mixed-brand smart homeA Zigbee door sensor from one brand talks to a hub, which switches a Matter-over-Thread lamp from another brand and notifies a phone over Wi-Fi.Door sensorBrand A · ZigbeeYour hubspeaks Zigbee and MatterLampBrand B · Matter over ThreadPhone
  1. Someone opens the door. The Brand A sensor wakes up.
  2. It sends one short message to your hub over Zigbee.
  3. Your hub speaks both Zigbee and Matter, so it can link brands that never talk to each other. Your automation says: door opens after dark, lamp on.
  4. The hub sends the command to the Brand B lamp over Matter on Thread. The lamp switches on.
  5. Your phone gets a notification over Wi-Fi. Two brands, three protocols, one hub in the middle: that is why protocol support matters more than brand.
Devices from different brands work together when your hub speaks each of their protocols. Check yours with the tool above.
