What is Matter?

Matter is a groundbreaking protocol designed to transmit information on the Thread physical layer for smart home and IoT devices. Utilizing an IP-based networking protocol, Matter enables devices to communicate over widely used network infrastructures like Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Thread. This integration ensures reliable performance and facilitates the seamless integration of smart home devices into existing networks.

Supported by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), formerly known as the Zigbee Alliance, Matter has gained the backing of major industry players such as Apple, Google, Amazon, and many others. The protocol’s uniqueness lies in its ability to create a network where each device communicates through a Thread, promoting efficient and secure data transmission.

Goals and Vision

Matter aims to establish a unified, open standard that allows smart home devices from various manufacturers to communicate effortlessly. By breaking down barriers created by proprietary systems, Matter seeks to foster a more integrated and user-friendly smart home ecosystem. The protocol emphasizes interoperability, simplicity, security, reliability, and scalability, ensuring that smart home technology is accessible to a broader audience and adaptable to future advancements.

History of Matter Development

The journey of Matter began in December 2019 with the introduction of Project CHIP (Connected Home over IP). The project’s goal was to develop a universal connectivity standard to address fragmentation issues in the smart home market. The initiative quickly gained momentum, with leading tech companies joining forces to contribute to its development. In May 2021, Project CHIP was rebranded as Matter, marking a significant shift towards commercialization and broader adoption. The first Matter-certified devices were launched in late 2022, and as of the latest release (1.3), there are around 7,000 certified devices spanning various types, including smart bulbs, locks, sensors, and more.
