Matter
Making connections simpler, more secure and scalable with the foundation for connected things in home and building automation applications.
What is Matter?
Interoperable, open, secure and simple. Matter is a royalty-free standard to connect compatible devices and systems with one another. Matter runs on Thread and Wi-Fi® network layers and uses Bluetooth® Low Energy for commissioning. Matter solutions will be interoperable with the major smart home ecosystems like Apple® Homekit®, Google AssistantTM, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings.
Connect: Matter introduction
The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) has introduced a new standard called Matter. Our experts discuss this new protocol as well as its various applications.
Two wireless trends that Matter in home automation
Take a deeper look at some of the trends Matter will accelerate and learn how this standard has the potential to transform the home automation space.
