This page explains how Home Device Guide researches, writes and updates its articles.
Our sources
We use manufacturer specifications, installation guides and published compatibility lists, and the specifications and certification information of standards groups such as the Connectivity Standards Alliance (Matter and Zigbee), the Thread Group and the Z-Wave Alliance. When a claim comes from a manufacturer, we say so, and we note the date we checked compatibility.
What we do not do
- We do not claim that devices work together unless a manufacturer or standard says so.
- We do not claim to have tested products unless that is true, and we never invent test results, ratings, awards or quotes.
- We do not publish Amazon prices, star ratings or customer reviews.
- We do not accept payment to include or rank a product.
Use of AI tools
AI tools help draft some articles. A person checks every article before publication; facts, numbers and compatibility statements are verified against sources, and anything we cannot verify is removed.
Corrections and updates
We review compatibility guides regularly because firmware and app updates change what works. If you find an error, please contact us.
