Before you buy
Needs the cloud
Good fit if you use SmartThings, Hubitat or Home Assistant.

- Will not work on its own. Needs a compatible hub (extra cost).

Needs a hub first, then works with Amazon Alexa, SmartThings, Hubitat, Home Assistant.
Works with a compatible hub.
Once it is on a hub, control it from:

✓ full support (native, Matter, or a built-in integration). Chips without a check work with a catch; the chip names it.
