With iOS 18 , you can now add any Wi-Fi device to Apple Home with just an iPhone.

This is good news for anyone interested in dabbling in smart home gadgets who isn’t ready to go all in.

For Matter devices, you’ll need an iPhone with a Thread radio (iPhone 15 Pro or newer) for the feature.

This brings Matter closer to its promise of being able to “buy a device, plug it in, and it will just work with your smart home”.
