Upgrade to Matter - the Future for your Smart Home Products

Breathe new life into your existing smart home products with enhanced interoperability, robust security, and seamless ease of use. Transform your smart home ecosystem with our exclusive upgrade program to convert non-Matter devices into fully compatible Matter-enabled devices. Offer your customers the benefits of a unified and interoperable smart home environment where all devices communicate effortlessly. With Matter adoption, your products will integrate seamlessly with major voice assistants like Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home, ensuring a consistent and reliable user experience.

The Smart Home market is rapidly evolving, and Matter is the new unifying standard that prioritizes compatibility, security, and user experience. Products that are not Matter-compatible risk becoming less attractive to customers who desire a seamless, cross-platform experience. Limited interoperability and complicated user interfaces can lead to negative reviews, reduce market acceptance, and threaten revenue potential.

Benefits of Upgrading your Product to Matter

Integrate seamlessly

Control costs & risks

Extend product lifespan

Enhance security & usability

Integrating with Matter unlocks new use cases and enhances the user experience for your existing smart home products. Seamless compatibility with major platforms like Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home ensures your product integrates effortlessly into diverse smart home environments, broadening its market appeal.

Developing a new product to achieve broad interoperability requires selecting the right hardware platform, designing hardware, and creating firmware, often including a companion app. This process is slower, riskier, and more costly than upgrading your current product with Matter. By upgrading to Matter, you can avoid the complexities and expenses of a new product development cycle.

Extend the life and value of your existing devices by upgrading to Matter compatibility. This approach revitalizes your products without requiring new hardware investments. Matter is supported by several platforms (e.g., Nordic Semiconductors, Espressif, and Silicon Labs) that have offered robust solutions for years, ensuring your products stay relevant and functional.

Matter enhances security and usability by enabling integration with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home, including Siri, without relying on cloud infrastructure. Matter operates locally, ensuring high security and reliability for smart home interactions, with the exception of Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) updates and Device Certification Lifecycle (DCL).

Frequently asked questions about Matter

What is Matter and how does it differ from other IoT protocols?
Matter is a unified, license-free standard designed to improve interoperability between different IoT devices and systems. Unlike other protocols such as Zigbee or Z-Wave, Matter is vendor agnostic and supports a wide range of devices and platforms, simplifying the setup and use of smart home technologies.
What are the benefits of implementing Matter for your IoT products?
Matter offers numerous benefits, including improved compatibility between devices from different manufacturers, easier setup and operation for end users and increased security through standardized encryption mechanisms. This leads to a better user experience and can increase the acceptance and distribution of your IoT products.
How can it be ensured that existing IoT devices are compatible with Matter?
To make existing devices Matter-compatible, you should provide firmware updates that support the Matter standard. Check the hardware requirements and make sure that the devices have the necessary technical specifications. It is also advisable to work closely with Matter-certified partners and platforms.
What security aspects need to be considered when developing Matter-compatible IoT devices?
Security aspects of Matter-compatible devices include the implementation of end-to-end encryption, secure authentication mechanisms and regular security updates. The Matter standard already includes many of these security features, which facilitates the development of secure IoT devices.
What resources and tools are available to support the development of Matter-compatible devices?
There are numerous resources and tools available to support the development of Matter-compliant devices, including the official Matter specification and documentation, developer tools and kits from leading technology companies, and developer communities and forums. In addition, Matter-certified test labs and certification bodies provide standards compliance support.
