QUICK SUMMARY
Meross has unveiled its first-ever Matter-certified smart thermostat, making it compatible with a wide range of smart home platforms. It is only the third thermostat to achieve Matter certification, following the Nest Thermostat and the Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen).
Priced at $99 (approximately £75), it's currently available for purchase exclusively in the US through the Meross online store.
Meross has launched its first Matter-certified smart thermostat, meaning it's compatible with a variety of smart home platforms, including Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings. This extensive coverage also means it'll cover around 95% of North American heating and cooling systems.
As it stands, there are only two Matter-certified thermostats that are compatible with North American heating and cooling systems – the Nest Thermostat and the Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen) – both from Google. The Meross smart thermostat therefore broadens the selection of available models, and for a much cheaper price as well.
It features a white glass panel with a touch screen, and is available to buy for $99 (around £75) from the Meross online store. It's currently exclusive to the US, but will be released to further countries in due course.

Meross’ smart thermostat offers advanced features like smart scheduling and energy tracking, and it can be set up and controlled via the Meross app or your preferred smart home platform.
It is also compatible with Meross’ Matter-certified smart temperature and humidity sensors, a feature that Google’s models lack. Whilst a Meross hub is required for this integration, it ensures a more seamless experience within the same system. The Nest Learning Thermostat includes room sensors, but they aren't compatible with Matter.
