Matter is a communication protocol that allows certified devices from different brands to work together across Matter-compliant smart home hubs like Google Home, Alexa, and HomeKit. Homeowners can control and manage all of their connected devices with one app from the smart home hub of their choice. They can even link non-Matter devices into the smart home hub of their choice with a Matter bridge, without worrying about device compatibility.

Any Matter device can be controlled through any smart home hub like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit.

Main benefits of Matter:

• Interoperable: No compatibility issues as devices and ecosystems with the Matter badge are compatible by design. Simply choose which devices and ecosystems to connect.
• Simple and convenient: Easily add devices to existing ecosystems and control them through the preferred smart home hub app of choice.
• Reliable: Consistent and responsive local connectivity works even if the Internet connection is down.
• Secure: Rest assured smart device data and user information are private and secure thanks to multiple layers of encryption.
