Matter is a new unified communication standard for smart home devices created by leading technology companies (Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, etc.). Its main goal is to unite gadgets from different manufacturers into a single “ecosystem” so that they all work together seamlessly. You no longer need to worry that a smart LED strip from one brand will not be compatible with a TV backlight from another brand: with Matter, they speak the same language.
A single language for all devices
The Matter protocol ensures compatibility and ease of control. Matter-enabled devices connect easily to your chosen smart home system. You can add an LED strip or lamp to Apple HomeKit, Google Home, or Amazon Alexa without installing a bunch of different apps. Setup is as simple as scanning a QR code or entering a pairing code, and your smart device will appear in your home. Thanks to Matter, consumers are free to choose products from their favorite brands and know that they will work seamlessly in a single network.
Advantages of the Matter protocol
- Universal compatibility: LED strips, light bulbs, sensors, and other gadgets with the Matter logo work with any popular smart home platform.
- Easy setup: The standard connection process via Wi-Fi or Thread takes just a few minutes and requires no special knowledge.
- Reliability and autonomy: Matter devices can interact locally without the internet, and commands are executed even during network outages.
Matter-enabled lighting
For buyers choosing smart lighting, the new standard means confidence. For example, when you buy a Matter-enabled LED strip or TV backlight from the Smarti online store, you get a product that integrates seamlessly into your system. You can control your TV backlight via Google Assistant — however you want. Already today, well-known brands (Philips Hue, Govee, etc.) are releasing LED solutions with Matter, so choosing the right strip or backlight kit will be a breeze.
