Ecosystem compatibility
Which smart home platforms a model can be controlled from, as the maker states it. Measured across every model we follow in this edition on September 30, 2026, with the change since last month.
Alexa 0%0 of 48 models

Google Home 0%0 of 48 models
Home Assistant 0%0 of 48 models

SmartThings 0%0 of 48 models
A model whose maker states no such support counts as not supporting it. SmartThings includes every model with Matter, and Siri alone is not HomeKit.
The same measurement, split by the year each model came out. It shows what makers shipped each year, not what is in homes. A year with fewer than 5 models is left out, and the year still running is dashed.

How this report is made
- A price is an offer a buyer could order that day. A sold-out day is no price, a failed check keeps the price before it, and a price our checks hold back as unlikely is left out.
- The price change follows each model at the same store from that store’s first day in the month to its last, and averages the changes (a geometric mean). A store we read on fewer than 14 days of the month is left out of it, so a store new to us never reads as a price drop.
- Only US stores count, at their shelf prices before sales tax.
- No store was read long enough this month to count in the price change.
- Made on October 17, 2026 from our own price checks and not changed since, so a figure quoted from it stays true.
