What this means
We list automation triggers as Unknown rather than guessing. Unknown is a valid answer: a capability is only marked confirmed when a dated source shows it for this device type on this platform.
Support for pairing and control works with limits — check the product notes before you buy, because individual products may implement less than the device type.
Requirements
Hub requirement: Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini or Homey Self-Hosted Server (Matter 1.5 controller) required. Thread border router for Thread devices.
Matter spec: 1.3+.
Confidence
The evidence is a mix of official platform documentation and product- or community-level reports; some answers rest on documentation alone.

Frequently asked questions
Does a Matter energy meter work with Homey?

Can Homey automate on a Matter energy meter?
Unconfirmed on Homey: energy may appear, but no dated source confirms it as a trigger (Med, checked 2026-10-22). As an action, Homey cannot use a Matter energy meter in an automation (Med, checked 2026-10-22).
What do I need to add a Matter energy meter to Homey?
