Frequently asked questions
Does a Matter energy meter work with SmartThings?
SmartThings pairs a Matter energy meter, though what you can do with the readings varies and it is never an automation action. Med confidence, checked 2026-10-19. SmartThings controls a Matter energy meter only partly — expect limits on energy and power readings (Med, checked 2026-10-19).
Can SmartThings automate on a Matter energy meter?
Partly: a Matter energy meter can start a SmartThings automation in some cases only (Med, checked 2026-10-19). As an action, SmartThings cannot use a Matter energy meter in an automation (Med, checked 2026-10-19).
What do I need to add a Matter energy meter to SmartThings?
SmartThings needs a Matter controller before a Matter energy meter will report.
