Matter Spec 1.0 already supports the core residential device types: OnOff Light, Dimmable Light, Color Temperature Light, Extended Color Light (RGB), Smart Plug, Door Lock, Contact Sensor, Motion Sensor, Window Covering, Thermostat and more.
True
The Spec 1.0 release covered the residential core: lighting in four flavours (OnOff, Dimmable, Color Temperature, Extended Color), Smart Plug, Door Lock, the common sensor family (Contact for doors and windows, PIR Motion, Temperature, Humidity, Illuminance), Window Covering for blinds and shutters, and Thermostat. Subsequent releases broadened the catalogue: Spec 1.1 and 1.2 added Robot Vacuum, Smoke and CO alarms, Air Quality, Ovens and Washing Machines, Spec 1.3 brought energy management and EV charging, and Spec 1.4 introduced cameras and advanced presence detection.
Always check the device-type matrix against the controller's Spec level: a Matter 1.3 thermostat exposed to a controller still pinned at 1.0 will lose its energy-management features and fall back to a basic thermostat profile.
