Can Matter/Thread devices be controlled directly from Android app?


I know the official doc says a Google Nest Hub is needed to control Matter device from a "Google Home" like app using Google Home Mobile SDK.

Is it possible to control a Matter/Thread device from an Android app without a Google Nest Hub?

If not, is there any plan from Google to add Matter API to the Android SDK allowing apps controlling Matter/Thread devices natively ?

EDIT: There is a sample app for controlling Matter devices: https://github.com/google-home/sample-app-for-matter-android/

You can check wether your mobile device has the required services for Matter here: https://developers.home.google.com/matter/verify-services


Solution

  • Yes, I used https://github.com/google-home/sample-app-for-matter-android

    worked like a charm for a simple product. Doesn't work for more complicated product, but I guess it can be extended.
