Eberle UTE 3500 Thermostat

The Eberle UTE 3500 Thermostat from Eberle connects to your smart home over Wi-Fi. It joins your existing network directly, without a Thread Border Router or extra hub, and your Matter controller reaches it through your home router.

Wi-Fi Band

Most Matter Wi-Fi devices only connect on 2.4 GHz. If your router combines 2.4 and 5 GHz under one SSID, split them to avoid issues.

Same Network

Your phone, your controller and the device must be on the same network. Guest networks and separate VLANs can block Matter.

Power Use

Wi-Fi uses more power than Thread, so most Matter over Wi-Fi devices run on mains power instead of batteries.

Every Matter device needs a Matter controller, like a smart hub, display or speaker. See all Matter hubs →

Matter Version

Matter 1.1

The Eberle UTE 3500 Thermostat is certified on Matter 1.1, released in May 2023. This update added no new device types. It improved support for battery-powered devices that sleep most of the time, so they last longer and show as offline less often.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Eberle UTE 3500 Thermostat need a smart hub?

Yes, but only a Matter controller from your platform, not a separate bridge. The Eberle UTE 3500 Thermostat connects straight to your home network. The controller can be an Apple home hub, a Google Nest speaker, an Amazon Echo or Home Assistant.

Does the Eberle UTE 3500 Thermostat work without internet?

Yes. Matter runs on your local network, so the Eberle UTE 3500 Thermostat keeps working when your internet goes down. Remote access, voice assistants and some Eberle cloud features may still need a working connection.

Does the Eberle UTE 3500 Thermostat work with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant?

Yes. The Eberle UTE 3500 Thermostat is Matter certified, so it works with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant, as long as the platform supports Thermostat devices. Support for newer device types can differ per platform.

Do I need the Eberle app to use the Eberle UTE 3500 Thermostat?

No. Any Matter hub can set up and control the Eberle UTE 3500 Thermostat without the Eberle app. Some advanced features may not be part of Matter yet, so settings like firmware updates or special modes can still require the Eberle app.

How do I set up the Eberle UTE 3500 Thermostat?

Open your smart home app, choose to add a device and scan the Matter QR code on the Eberle UTE 3500 Thermostat or its packaging. You can also type in the 11-digit Matter code instead. The app guides you through the rest. Keep the code safe, you need it again after a reset.
