### Using a Matter bridge

For some ecosystems, you can add some of their non-Matter devices into Home Assistant via a *Matter bridge*. Examples of Matter bridges are the SwitchBot Hub 2, Aqara Hub M2, Ikea Dirigera, or the Philips Hue Bridge. Using a bridge allows you to keep controlling these devices via their native App, while having them available in Home Assistant at the same time. The Aquara Hub, for example, uses a cloud-based integration. By bridging it into Home Assistant via Matter (instead of using their cloud-based integration), you can make it use local communication.

Home Assistant, as a Matter controller, only supports **control** of Matter devices. Home Assistant is not a bridge itself and it cannot turn existing devices within Home Assistant into Matter compatible devices.
