Matter is a new standard for smart home devices, aiming to simplify connectivity and interoperability. Developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), it promises to unify existing smart home platforms and protocols, eliminating the need for separate hubs and apps for different devices.
Here’s a breakdown of the Matter Standard:

The future of Matter:
Matter natively supports Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Thread. However, its purpose is to simplify smart homes, even with those products that use different networking technologies. Matter provides bridges that enable devices that use other protocols (such as Zigbee or Z-Wave) to participate in the Matter ecosystem.
Overall, the Matter Standard represents a significant step towards a more connected and user-friendly smart home experience. While challenges remain, it holds immense potential to revolutionize the way we interact with our homes.
