Matter is based on the principles of simplicity, reliability, interoperability, and security. It’s a seal of approval that devices built on this protocol will work seamlessly together, both now and well into the future.
Philips Hue and Matter
Connect Hue to Smart Home products and ecosystems with Matter
Matter creates a simplified connected experience between Philips Hue and other smart home products. It offers easier interoperability between supported smart home devices in a reliable and secure manner.
Got a Hue Bridge or Bridge Pro? They already support Matter
The Hue Bridge and Bridge Pro unlock it all — including Matter. Bridge has been updated to support Matter, meaning that your Hue lights and accessories automatically support Matter, too.¹
Hue bulbs with Matter support
You can now directly connect Matter-enabled bulbs to your smart home ecosystem. Get a simplified connected experience between Philips Hue and other smart products with Matter.
A new standard for connected things, Matter offers reliable, secure interoperability between supported smart home devices. To benefit from this integration, you’ll need Matter-enabled Hue bulbs (look for the Matter logo on the bulbs) and a Thread Border Router such as Apple HomePod Mini, Amazon Echo Smart Speakers (4th gen), Nanoleaf, or Google Nest Hub.
Easily integrate with other smart home devices
You can connect to all the favorites — Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, and Google Assistant — in addition to other smart home devices and apps that support Matter. To benefit from this integration, you’ll need Matter-enabled Hue bulbs (look for the Matter logo on the bulbs) and a Thread Border Router such as Apple HomePod Mini, Amazon Echo Smart Speakers (4th gen), Nanoleaf, or Google Nest Hub.
A leader in smart lighting
Philips Hue and our parent company, Signify, are members on the board of Connectivity Standard Alliance (formerly known as the Zigbee Alliance). As an active member of the Matter steering committee, we have contributed to the development, testing, and standardization of this new standard.
