Samsung has announced that its SmartThings platform now supports Matter 1.5, with the rollout beginning this month and Matter-compatible cameras from partner brands expected from March 2026. The update expands SmartThings’ existing Matter device support, which already includes lights, door locks, switches, and sensors, by adding cameras. SmartThings is Samsung’s smart home platform and app that lets users connect and manage a range of devices such as lights, cameras, appliances, and sensors from a single app on a phone, tablet, and select smart home appliances.
