Matter serves as a universal language facilitating seamless communication among devices, transcending manufacturer and system boundaries to ensure effortless interoperability. Developed collaboratively by industry giants like Amazon, Apple, and Google, this home automation transmission protocol seamlessly integrates smart home platforms and systems from diverse manufacturers. Leading the way in a new era of connectivity, Matter fosters increased interconnection among various objects, streamlines development for manufacturers, and enhances compatibility for consumers. Notably, Matter now seamlessly integrates with our ABB-free@home® system, offering a promise of reliable and secure connectivity. This industry-wide standard assures consumers that devices will seamlessly collaborate both now and in the future. From intelligent lighting and door locks to thermostats, smart TVs, and beyond, a smart home enhances comfort, saves money, and simplifies daily life. This experience is elevated when technology is easy to install, seamlessly connects, and intuitive to use. Matter networks smart home components through three channels: wired network, Wi-Fi, and/or the emerging Thread wireless protocol. Thread, especially suitable for battery-operated devices like sensors and heating controllers, minimizes energy consumption while establishing a robust wireless network within the home, particularly when paired with powered Thread components like sockets.
