What “works with Google Home” means for a door sensor
Door and window sensors are simple devices, but compatibility is not. In Google Home they usually work through Matter (often over Thread) or through a brand hub or bridge that is linked to Google Home. A sensor that only speaks Zigbee or Z-Wave generally needs a hub that translates it.
It also matters what Google Home does with the sensor. Seeing open/closed state is one thing; using it as a trigger in a Routine is another, and not every integration supports both. Check the entry for the exact behaviour we verified.
Each sensor below lists its connection path, hub requirement and source, with the date we checked. Unconfirmed items are marked unknown.

Frequently asked questions
Which door sensors work with Google Home?
Matter-certified contact sensors and sensors from brands with a Google Home integration. The list above shows the connection path and any hub needed for each.
Do I need a hub for a door sensor with Google Home?
Zigbee and Z-Wave sensors need a hub or bridge that is linked to Google Home. Matter sensors can connect directly, over Wi-Fi or Thread, and Thread devices need a Thread border router such as a compatible Nest display.
Can a door sensor trigger a Google Home routine?
Some can, depending on how the sensor is exposed. Check the individual entry for what we verified.
