I successfully connected my Bosch Smart Home Controller II hub to Smartthings via Matter. Currently, my Samsung Frame TV acts as a Smartthings/Matter hub. After connecting, I was able to import most of my Bosch devices, except the roller shutter controls. I tried the same with Homekit and Google Home (both via Matter), and these systems can see the roller shutter controls. Is this a Smartthings limitation, or do I need to install a dedicated hub instead of using just the TV?
The list of devices bridged by the Bosch Controller II:
Matter 1.1, by the way.
Bridged devices (German, too lazy to translate):
Bewegungsmelder
Dimmer
Heizkörper-Thermostat / Heizkörper-Thermostat II
Raumthermostat / Raumthermostat II
Raumthermostat Fußbodenheizung / Raumthermostat II 230 V
Relais
Tür-/ Fensterkontakt / Tür-/ Fensterkontakt II / Tür-/Fensterkontakt II Plus
Zwischenstecker / Zwischenstecker kompakt
Motion detector, dimmer, thermostats, contact sensors, plug.
OK, so there is no shutter/blinds controller in Matter 1.1. But Smartthings is already on 1.3, isn’t it?
Also, how do these blinds appear when I connect my Bosch Hub with Apple and Google Home (also via Matter)? I’m getting confused Any workaround to solve this?
The shutters are Zigbee, as far as I know. You could try to add them directly to your SmartThings hub.
