I just ordered an eve matter smart plug & window sensor. I have home a version 3 hub, smartthings smart station & my 1 tv does matter & thread so im just wondering is there anything special I need to do when I setup these devices. Im also wondering should i start pairing new devices to my smart station & tv & spread out all my devices. Thanks
You’ll be prompted to select which hub to connect the new devices.
I would use either the v3 hub or the Station for the new devices. The TV and appliance firmware versions lag behind the physical hubs which can mean less Matter features. Personally, my fridge hub which uses a dongle has had issues with the Thread stack freezing up so I’ve begun using my Station for my Matter devices.
You could also look to see if you can combine the Thread networks from the different hubs into one which would give you multiple TBRs on a single Thread network. I haven’t had any luck in combining my Station and fridge Thread into a single network, but I don’t have multiple Thread networks from different physical hubs to try that.
