Matter - Smart home standard
Smart home
The world is getting smarter day by day, and it’s not just our phones and computers that are getting smarter but also our homes. Smart homes are becoming increasingly popular, and with the introduction of the Matter smart home standard, it’s now easier than ever to connect and control your smart home devices.
Matter - The new technology
Matter is an open-source smart home standard that allows you to control your smart home devices with a single app, regardless of the brand or manufacturer. This means that you can mix and match your smart home devices, and they will all work together seamlessly. Matter is also compatible with a range of smart home platforms, including Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Google Assistant.
One of the key features of the Matter standard is its use of Thread mesh technology. Thread is a low-power, wireless mesh networking protocol that allows smart home devices to communicate with each other securely and reliably. Thread is designed to be simple to use, and it provides a range of benefits, including fast and reliable connectivity, low latency, and low power consumption.
The use of Thread mesh technology means that Matter-enabled devices can communicate with each other directly, without the need for a hub or gateway device. This reduces the complexity of your smart home setup, and it also reduces the risk of device downtime or failure. Thread mesh technology also provides enhanced security, as it uses a unique security key for each device, making it difficult for hackers to access your smart home network.
The future of smart home
The Matter smart home standard is an exciting development for anyone looking to create a smart home. Its use of Thread mesh technology provides fast, reliable, and secure connectivity, and it allows you to mix and match smart home devices from a range of different brands and manufacturers.
