Which should you pick?
If you are all-in on Apple, either works. If you want one accessory that keeps working if you later add Google or Alexa hardware, choose the Matter one from the table above. Check the “Needs a hub” row before buying — a Thread device needs a border router (HomePod mini / Apple TV 4K) either way.
