Thinka unveils a major milestone for smart-home integration: the Thinka HomeKit bridge now offers Matter support in beta, allowing seamless interaction between Apple HomeKit and the emerging Matter smart‑home ecosystem.
Why this is big:
- Unified smart-home control: Users can now control their KNX installation through both Matter and HomeKit ecosystems with one hub—no need for separate bridges or hubs.
- Broader device compatibility: This beta adds support for a wide variety of Matter‑enabled devices—lights, sensors, thermostats, and more—alongside existing HomeKit devices.
- Local-first & privacy‑focused: Like all Thinka updates, this beta runs locally (no cloud dependency), preserving Thinka’s strong focus on privacy and data security.
How to join the beta:
- Visit the Thinka web interface
- Navigate to Settings page
- Switch from Stable to Beta channel (you may need a restart)
- Learn more and request access via Thinka’s support page
