Over 200 companies support Matter to connect smart homes
The Matter technology is not intended to automate or control one’s home, just provide a platform for devices to connect and communicate. It is IP-based technology, which means there is no requirement for hubs or device bridges. It is intended to be used as an application that compliments other IP technologies such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Using Matter, home devices would operate locally and not use the cloud. If the internet goes down, smart homes should still be able to function. That said, devices like smartphones that are used outside the home, will need to use the internet to connect with other smart devices. Keeping devices local and secure has been identified as key for many consumers who wish to purchase smart home devices. “With Matter, you do not need a cloud — you can have one, but it’s not a requirement”, Jerome Gackel, CEO of smart home company Eve, told the Verge.

Matter is openly supported by four major smart home platforms: Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit and Samsung SmartThings. On paper, users should be able to use their apps and services in a connected way. That means using Apple’s Siri to operate the Amazon Nest Thermostat, for example. However, as previously mentioned, Matter will not be able to create automations. For example, consumers will not be able to automate their lights, locks or thermostat.
There are several ways that companies have committed to Matter and its technology. Last year Amazon announced that it was upgrading its Echo smart speaker to Thread, a primary protocol used by Matter. Amazon’s mesh Wi-Fi company Eero has announced its support for Matter too.
Google also announced that it was updating its Nest smart speakers and displays to Matter. Newer products, like Nest Wi-Fi and Net Hub Max will reportedly have Thread built-in. Meanwhile, Apple’s HomePod Mini and Apple TV 4K both have Thread radios, and the company will support Matter through the Home app and through Siri.
