Frequently asked questions
Does a Matter temperature or humidity sensor work with Homey?
Homey pairs a Matter temperature or humidity sensor and shows the readings, so temperature or humidity can drive scenes. Med confidence, checked 2026-10-22. Homey can control a Matter temperature or humidity sensor from its app, including temperature and humidity readings (Med, checked 2026-10-22).
Can Homey start an automation from a Matter temperature or humidity sensor?
Yes — a threshold on a Matter temperature or humidity sensor (for example a temperature drop) can start a Homey automation. As an action, Homey cannot use a Matter temperature or humidity sensor in an automation (Med, checked 2026-10-22).
What do I need to add a Matter temperature or humidity sensor to Homey?
Add a Matter controller for Homey first; a Matter temperature or humidity sensor will not pair without one.
