What the data says right now
The headline numbers, recomputed on every catalog update.
- 87.3%of the products we track work with Home Assistant, more than any other platform we measure.
- 30%of the products we track support Matter.
- 5.5%of the products we track carry a Thread radio, the least adopted protocol in the catalog.
- 41%of the products launched in 2025 support Matter, up from 27.1% in 2020.
- 13.5%of the products launched in 2025 support Zigbee, down from 31.3% in 2020.
- 11.4%of the products we track work with none of the three major ecosystems.
- 17.1%of Matter products also carry a Thread radio. The rest reach Matter over Wi-Fi.
- $99.99is the median price of the products we track, from $10.90 to $4,250.
- 13of the 93 brands we track make up half the catalog between them.
How these numbers are built
How every figure on this page is built.
Where the data comes from
Every figure is computed from our own smart home catalog: 1,131 products across 35 categories, each one documented feature by feature against the spec sheet that category defines, from the manufacturer's own documentation. The numbers are recomputed on every site build, so this page never lags behind the catalog.
How support is counted
A product counts as supporting a feature only when we have verified that support against the manufacturer's own documentation. Everything else counts as not supported, including the products whose spec sheet leaves the question open.
What each share is a share of
Every figure in a section divides by the same number: the products in the categories whose spec sheet asks at least one of that section's questions. That is what makes the bars comparable to each other. Categories that ask none of them stay out entirely, because counting a product as lacking a feature its category never had would deflate every share with products that were never candidates. Each figure also carries its narrower reading, the share among the products whose own category asks that exact question, on its card and in the downloadable data.
How prices are measured
Prices all come from Amazon, so the medians of two categories are comparable, and they are list prices, not discounted ones: a discount is a moment, not a price level. Products not sold there are left out of the price figures.
Reading the launch year chart
Products are grouped by the year they were released, not by when we added them. Support can also arrive later through a firmware update, so a product can carry a feature that did not exist when it launched. The current year is still in progress and is drawn as a dashed line, and years with too small a sample are left out entirely.
What this data is not
This is a curated catalog of the smart home products worth comparing, not a census of everything on the market. It skews toward what is actually sold and reviewed in the categories we cover, and it does not include commercial or industrial equipment. Read every figure as a share of the products we track, not as a share of the whole smart home market.

Adoption by product launch year
The same measurement, split by the year each product was released. This is the closest the catalog gets to a trend line: it shows what manufacturers were shipping each year, not what the installed base looks like.
