Samsung's SmartThings Station (EP-P9500, US) is a SmartThings hub that needs no other hub. Samsung says Matter, Thread and Zigbee devices connect to it, and several Stations can form a multi-hub network. Devices at your SmartThings location reach Google Home and Alexa through the SmartThings link or skill. Apple Home isn't confirmed.

Ecosystem compatibility
| Platform | Works? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Matter | Unconfirmed | CSA lists SmartThings Station twice: a Matter 1.1 software component (2023) and the EP-P9500 as Zigbee 3.0 (2022). Neither ties Matter to the hardware or names a transport, so it is left unconfirmed.[5],[6] |
| Apple Home | Unconfirmed | No official source found that shows Station-paired devices in Apple Home. |
| Google Home | Yes | Link SmartThings under Works with Google in the Google Home app; devices at the chosen SmartThings location become controllable.[4] |
| Amazon Alexa | Yes | Enable the SmartThings skill in the Alexa app; Samsung lists lights, switches, dimmers, thermostats and locks, plus status of motion and contact sensors.[4] |
| SmartThings | Yes | The Station is a SmartThings hub; Samsung says Matter, Thread and Zigbee devices connect to it, and several Stations can form a multi-hub network.[1],[2] |
| Home Assistant | Yes | Home Assistant's SmartThings integration is cloud-based and adds the SmartThings hub and its devices. The page does not name the Station, and says free SmartThings API access ends in October 2026 (a paid plan is needed after that).[7] |
“Via Matter” means you add it with that platform's Matter controller instead of a brand skill or app. “Unconfirmed” means we couldn't find an official source either way. How we verify.

Before you buy
- Home Assistant's SmartThings integration runs through the cloud, and free API access ends in October 2026; after that a paid plan is needed.
- Samsung's pages say Thread devices connect to the Station but never use the words "border router", so treat that role as implied.
