Frequently asked questions

Does a Matter temperature or humidity sensor work with SmartThings?

SmartThings pairs a Matter temperature or humidity sensor and shows the readings, so temperature or humidity can drive scenes. High confidence, checked 2026-10-17. SmartThings can control a Matter temperature or humidity sensor from its app, including temperature and humidity readings (High, checked 2026-10-17).

Can SmartThings 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 SmartThings automation. As an action, SmartThings cannot use a Matter temperature or humidity sensor in an automation (High, checked 2026-10-17).

What do I need to add a Matter temperature or humidity sensor to SmartThings?

Add a Matter controller for SmartThings first; a Matter temperature or humidity sensor will not pair without one.
