Matter Product Brief

2022-10-24
●Overview
■Matter is a home automation connectivity standard designed to reduce fragmentation across different IoT device vendors and achieve interoperability among smart home platforms from different providers. Matter is an application layer that runs over Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Thread protocols and uses Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) for commissioning. The initiative was launched by some of the most influential names in the smart home ecosystem including Amazon, Apple, Google, and Comcast. Together, along with Silicon Labs and others, this group comprises the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA).
●The Significance of the Matter Standard
■Existing wireless protocols offer different benefits such as low-power operation for Thread, Zigbee, and Z-Wave, longer range like Z-Wave Long Range and Wi-SUN, or high bandwidth as in Wi-Fi. Matter allows these different technologies to share the same application layer and create seamless communication with the cloud. Matter will initially support Wi-Fi and Thread network layers for core, operational communications, and Bluetooth LE to simplify device commissioning and setup. For networks not directly supported like Z-Wave and Zigbee, Matter enables bridging to allow these devices to communicate over the Matter network. Matter enables device manufacturers to build devices that are compatible with smart home and voice services such as Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, Google Assistant, and others. A new Matter device can be controlled by and part of multiple ecosystems at the same time. For example, a light bulb can connect to Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. Standardized Bluetooth commissioning including device authentication, ensures secure and easy installation. Consumers can add new products and brands to their smart home without the additional effort of trying to figure out if they'll work together. With Matter, it just works.
