The Complete Matter Device List
Shelly Plug CN Gen3 is a Wi‑Fi smart plug with energy meter built for the Chinese standard Type I outlet.
The Shelly Plug CN Gen3 with Energy Meter from Shelly 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 →
