What is Matter?

Matter is the clever new kid on the block for smart home connectivity, created by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) – the same organisation behind Zigbee and Z-Wave. In collaboration with tech giants like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Samsung, Matter was developed to address two major challenges:

  1. Compatibility Chaos: Devices that don’t work well together across different manufacturers or controllers.
  2. Security Woes: Vulnerabilities, unreliable updates, and cloud dependency leaving smart homes exposed.

While Zigbee and Z-Wave led the way for low-power, low-cost IoT devices, Matter takes it further. It provides seamless communication across devices and platforms while ensuring airtight security.

Based on Project Connected Home Over IP (CHIP), Matter is an IP-based, open-source IoT standard. It enables manufacturers to create secure, interoperable, and easy-to-use devices. Whether it’s lights, locks, or thermostats, if it’s Matter-certified, it’s designed to work seamlessly with any Matter-compatible controller or platform.

In short, Matter just… works. No faffing, no worries – just smart devices doing what they’re supposed to do, together.
