Meross launches Matter-enabled in-wall thermostats
Meross has introduced two new in-wall (unterputz) thermostats that support the Matter smart home standard, allowing integration with Apple Home and other Matter-enabled platforms. The first model is designed for use with boilers and water-based underfloor heating systems. A second version is expected to be released by the end of the month.
Key points:
- Matter support: native compatibility with Apple Home and other Matter ecosystems, improving cross-platform interoperability.
- Heating compatibility: the currently available model works with boilers and hydronic (water-based) underfloor heating systems.
- Staged rollout: Meross plans to ship an additional variant later this month to cover more heating setups.
Why this matters: Matter is becoming the de facto bridge for smart home devices, reducing vendor lock-in and making it easier to control hardware from different manufacturers via a single app or voice assistant. For homeowners with centralized heating or underfloor systems, Meross’s new thermostats offer a path to modern, cross-platform control without replacing core HVAC equipment.

The announcement was first reported in German tech media; if you’re evaluating smart thermostats, check whether your heating system is compatible before purchasing. Installing an in-wall thermostat typically requires wiring and might need a professional electrician or HVAC technician.
