We list pairing, control, automation triggers and automation actions 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.

Requirements

Hub requirement: Hubitat Elevation hub (C-8 / C-8 Pro) required. Hubitat pairs Matter via multi-admin (from Alexa/Apple/Google).

Matter spec: 1.3+.
