I found a Matter-compatible fridge at IFA. And it’s extra.

The Siemens/Bosch XXL built-in fridge freezer was launched last year, and Eelco Lammertink of BSH tells me it will be upgraded to Matter in early 2025.

“Our ambition is to have our entire product line be connectable via Matter,” he said. BSH is also upgrading its Smart Kitchen Dock to be a Matter bridge, which will allow existing appliances to work with Matter.

<em>This is the Bosch version. It’s the same fridge, different brand name, Bosch is available in the U.S., Siemens is not.</em>
