Matter Network Transport - Connectivity Standards Alliance

Matter is a new industry-unifying standard that allows developers to create smart devices that work with each other, regardless of brand, and with Matter-enabled, smart home platforms. In this video, we share how Matter brings together the benefits of Wi-Fi, Thread, and their common foundation of IP, creating a seamless network that can support experiences across a vibrant ecosystem.

You shouldn't need to buy new devices. It's not gonna make the current standards obsolete.

Who needs Matter? NOBODY !! It's just a new protocol for forcing us smart home owners buying new gadgets. so, it's all about making money folks !! 🤣

They said that there will be updates to old products' software to be compatible with Matter (but of course it depends on individual manufacturers), but despite this point they are solving smart homes biggest problem THE COMPATABILITY which will start the era of smart homes

@@smartifi_egypt I use gadgets from 15 different manufactures with mainly Zigbee, bleutooth and Z-wave protocols to run my smarthome. If Matter does'nt support all these, is useless for me.

@@wimschoenmakers5463 they mention a bridge at the 4:00 mark in this video. Non-matter-compliant devices can be integrated into a matter network via the bridge. Wonder if there will be a multi-manufacturer bridge or if you'd need one per manufacturer.

@@ChrisFreyer A assume that you have to buy all those hub's to make it work. That's why I decided to use a Athom Homey device for all those different protocols and domotica gadgets. But even altough Homey supports Zigbee and Z-wave devices fine, I still use a Philips HUE hub for all my lighting and a old Harmony Hub for all my IR devices. Both are also connected to my Homey for creating automatisation flows, and it's also connected to my Google Hub's for starting flow's via speech. Work's fine for years now, so no need for Matter here.

Golly, if only there were some product that was trying to integrate multiple smart-home standards into a single unit...
