ABB-free@home® system has been given a major overhaul with Matter making home automation easier to manage and more comprehensive.
The ABB-free@home system now includes a Matter Bridge Add-on which brings a host of benefits to users. The Matter Protocol, designed around interoperability and platform independence, makes it easy to securely control your smart home devices from any platform you choose. This means the ABB-free@home devices can be exposed to the Matter universe and controlled via popular Apps like Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa.
Matter allows users to choose from a wider range of smart home devices, making it easier to expand and customize their smart home setups.
As Matter solidifies its position as the revolutionary home and building connectivity standard, boasting support from industry giants, it heralds a new era where existing smart home technologies can seamlessly converge into a singular application framework standard. This consolidation signifies a crucial step towards interoperability, allowing diverse devices and systems to communicate effortlessly.
The integration of Matter into ABB-free@home® provides the foundation for more open and flexible smart home experience. According to Christian Kruppa, Global Product Manager at ABB Electrification Smart Buildings, "The integration of valuable partner solutions provides comprehensive, centralized control for a wider range of devices and functions, enhancing overall convenience for our users."
The Matter standard will continue to evolve, expand and improve. Nearly 1,800 certified Matter products, apps, and software platforms are currently available, and there are potentially hundreds of millions of devices in people's homes that can be upgraded to Matter. As a result, we anticipate unlocking new possibilities with Matter and enhancing both efficiency and user experiences in unprecedented ways.
The integration of Matter and other Add-ons into the ABB-free@home® system represents a significant advancement in home automation. Retrofitting homes to become smart spaces is an excellent way to enhance the convenience and safety of residents. Additionally, the impact is significant, allowing for a more efficient and cohesive smart living experience, thus transforming homes into intelligently managed spaces that adapt to the needs and preferences of their occupants.
