## Common questions

### Which add-on slug should I use for the stable Home Assistant Matter Hub?

Use hamh for the stable channel. hamh-alpha and hamh-testing are the alpha and testing channels, and the testing channel is highly unstable.

### Do I need a Home Assistant access token to expose devices to Matter controllers?

Yes, create a Home Assistant access token and configure it for the hub. Without a valid token, Home Assistant rejects requests and device controls or integrations will not work.

### Does the Matter hub require port forwarding to talk to Apple Home, Google Home, or Alexa?

No. Matter allows the controllers to connect locally without port forwarding.
