Keeping your Matter devices updated is vital to maintain robust protection, speed, and interoperability with other smart home systems. Matter streamlines communication between smart devices, but keeping your devices up to date helps preserve that effortless experience.

Ensure your Matter device has a stable connection to your home network. Most Matter devices require a reliable internet connection to receive firmware updates. Verify that your smartphone or tablet is also on the same network.

Launch the compatible control app, which could be the native software, such as the Apple Home app, or a Matter-compatible controller like Amazon Alexa. When the device is successfully integrated into the Matter ecosystem, the app shows it among your paired items.

Access the device’s configuration menu, typically found by selecting the device card and choosing Firmware Version. A prompt will appear indicating a software upgrade is ready. Some apps handle updates automatically in the background, but most demand your approval.

Click the "Update Now" option. The device may reboot during the process, so do not unplug the device. The process usually lasts 2–5 minutes. Do not close the app while the update is in progress.

Once the update completes, the app will display a success message. Sometimes a reconnection is required, or you may simply wait a moment for it to reconnect. Verify functionality with a series of control requests. It’s also wise to scan for updates on all other Matter devices in your home, because synchronizing firmware levels prevents integration issues across your connected device network.

Should no update appear in the app, visit the manufacturer’s official support website. Some brands release updates exclusively via their site (bongs.wiki). You may also find instructions for USB-based updates if OTA is disabled by design.

Keep your Wi-Fi gateway and network infrastructure current, because device communication fails without a reliable backbone. Never update over public Wi-Fi.

Staying current with patches is one of the easiest security practices. By keeping your devices current, you help ensure reliable, secure, and seamless operation with a growing ecosystem of compatible devices.
