Matter, the new Global Standard for the Smart Home, Debuts at the Amsterdam Launch Event

The Connectivity Standards Alliance’s Matter Launch Event showcased industry leaders and the first Matter products, showing adoption from silicon to storefront. In the month since Matter 1.0 was released, Matter momentum has continued to accelerate.
Members showcased their Matter products at a launch event in Amsterdam with a wide array of categories including motion blinds, occupancy sensors, weather devices, smart plugs, door locks, lighting, gateways, platform components, and Matter-based software applications. Since the release, 190 products have received certification or are in queue for testing and certification.
The transition from standards development to standards adoption is clearly accelerating, with 4,400 downloads of the new Matter specification since its release and 2,500 downloads of the Matter software development kit (SDK) from GitHub. With the launch of the Matter certification program for both hardware and software products, there are now eight authorized test labs in 16 locations across nine countries, making it easy to bring Matter products to life.

Matter looks great can't wait to use BUT Sorry the Multi Admin is a complete mess imposed on CSA by the tech companies refusal to work together, Multi admin was supposed to be a tick box exercise that's it, but now you have to go in an app find the pair option, copy code, open other app, add device, enter code chose its name & room as that does Not copy over. This will confuse the hell out of the average consumer. This is just a way to confuse users enough to stop the average consumer using multiple routers & controllers.

[@GeorgeSanger]

Yeah, you are right about this. The fact that so much of the setup is so slick but this part, with a copy/paste code. Most users will just try to add the device the same way as the original commission and then will face a no help error message, then just think it doesn't work. But that being said this is early days and should see some improvements, like there is some apps which do create a QR code to be scanned

But in Europe is Thread on 868 Mhz or 2,4 GHz?

[@jayvolek2584]

Microsoft tried a bi-yearly cadence and look how that turned out for them. To keep things sane, please consider a yearly release cadence. This will give you sufficient time to test. Also: Didn't like Amazon's presentation. Too much self-promotion. And where was Google, Apple, and the other major tech companies? Very disappointing.

[@rhomboidman]

Looks like most important stakeholders forgot to show up, what does that say about Matter?
