Matter <\/strong>is a open-source standard<\/strong> unified for IoT device connectivity<\/strong>. It allows smart devices and platforms from different ecosystems to work together, with the potential to take the smart home experience to the next level.<\/p>

Ideea unui standard comun \u00eentre diferitele ecosisteme \u00ee\u0219i are originile \u00eentr-o ini\u021biativ\u0103 colectiv\u0103 numit\u0103 Connected Home over IP (CHIP). Ini\u021biativa a luat na\u0219tere \u00een 2019, aduc\u00e2nd \u00eempreun\u0103 patru gigan\u021bi ai industriei tehnologice\u2014Amazon, Apple, Google \u0219i Samsung\u2014, al\u0103turi de Connectivity Standards Alliance (\u00een traducere, Alian\u021ba Standardelor de Conectivitate, cunoscut\u0103 \u00een trecut ca \u0219i Zigbee Alliance). \u00cen 2021, CHIP a fost redenumit \u00een “Matter”.<\/p>

Also optimistic about the mass adoption of the protocol within the tech industry, many brands have joined the initiative, with the list of members now crossing 240 and including brands such as Nuki, TP-Link, Signify, Tuya, Huawei or Nanoleaf.<\/p>

The first protocol, called Matter 1.0<\/strong>, is expected to launch sometime towards the end of 2022. It works through Wi-Fi and threaded network layers, adopting Bluetooth Low Energy as well. It is built on Internet Protocol (IP) and, for the sake of illustration, can be said to work as a common language between Smart Home devices, IoT platforms and cloud services-allowing them to communicate with each other, even if they are from different manufacturers.<\/p>

What are the benefits of Matter?<\/strong><\/h2>

From a consumer perspective, first and foremost, Matter will make the process of buying and using smart devices easier. Having a unified standard for connectivity between different ecosystems means more options for creating and controlling a smart home. As soon as we see the Matter logo on a device, we'll know that it can work with other devices we already have at home, from other manufacturers, if those also support Matter.<\/p>

Iar fiindc\u0103 Matter permite ca toate dispozitivele smart compatibile s\u0103 fie controlate dintr-o singur\u0103 aplica\u021bie, se poate reduce num\u0103rul de aplica\u021bii instalate pe telefoanele noastre. Cu Matter, se poate seta ca \u0219i “admin” aplica\u021bia pe care o prefer\u0103m \u0219i vom putea apoi s\u0103 control\u0103m toate dispozitivele inteligente din locuin\u021ba noastr\u0103 doar din acesta, chiar dac\u0103 dispozitivele sunt de la produc\u0103tori diferi\u021bi.<\/p>

The devices will also be controllable by voice commands, using the assistant we prefer most, whether Google Assistant, Amazong Alexa or Siri.<\/p>

From a manufacturer's perspective, an open-source connectivity protocol allows them to reduce the cost and time required to develop new IoT ecosystems. This also simplifies the process of creating new products and services, allowing manufacturers to focus more on innovation or getting the finished product out the door faster.<\/p>

Once the Matter SDK is ready, manufacturers and companies involved in the development of the standard will be able to use it to integrate their products into the growing Matter ecosystem for free, without the need to pay royalties.<\/p>

Which manufacturers offer compatibility with Matter?<\/strong><\/h2>

The number of brands that offer or will offer compatibility with Matter is huge and growing. Below are some examples:<\/p>

Which devices are compatible with Matter?<\/strong><\/h2>

Obviously, devices designed to work with Matter will be compatible, so we recommend checking the specifications of new devices you plan to buy in the future. Also, some Thread, ZigBee or Z-wave compatible devices will be able to use Matter after a firmware update or a dedicated software development kit (SDK).<\/p>

Matter 1.0 will currently cover only a fraction of the smart device categories, providing support for only the most common and widely used of them, such as:<\/p>

  • Smart lights<\/li>\n\n
  • Smart sockets and switches<\/li>\n\n
  • HVAC controllers<\/li>\n\n
  • Smart locks<\/li>\n\n
  • Smart blinds<\/li>\n\n
  • Smart TVs<\/li>\n\n
  • Smart thermostats<\/li>\n\n
  • Access Points and Bridges<\/li><\/ul>

    Other categories, such as smart cameras, will be included in the future.<\/p>

    Matter este un standard open-source unificat pentru conectivitatea dispozitivelor IoT. Acesta permite dispozitivelor smart \u0219i platformelor din diferite ecosisteme s\u0103 lucreze \u00eempreun\u0103, av\u00e2nd poten\u021bialul de a duce experien\u021ba locuin\u021belor inteligente la urm\u0103torul nivel. Ideea unui standard comun \u00eentre diferitele ecosisteme \u00ee\u0219i are originile \u00eentr-o ini\u021biativ\u0103 colectiv\u0103 numit\u0103 Connected Home over IP (CHIP).

La r\u00e2ndul lor optimi\u0219ti fa\u021b\u0103 de adoptarea \u00een mas\u0103 a protocolului \u00een cadrul industriei tech, numeroase branduri s-au al\u0103turat ini\u021biativei. La momentul acesta, lista membrilor a trecut de 240 \u0219i include branduri precum Nuki, TP-Link, Signify, Tuya, Huawei sau Nanoleaf. Primul protocol, numit Matter 1.0, \u00ee\u0219i a\u0219teapt\u0103 lansarea undeva \u00eenspre finele anului 2022. Acesta func\u021bioneaz\u0103 prin Wi-Fi \u0219i thread network layers, adopt\u00e2nd \u0219i Bluetooth Low Energy. Acesta este construit pe baza Internet Protocol (IP) \u0219i, pentru exemplificare, putem spune c\u0103 func\u021bioneaz\u0103 precum un limbaj comun \u00eentre dispozitivele Smart Home, platformele IoT \u0219i serviciile cloud\u2014permi\u021b\u00e2ndu-le acestora s\u0103 comunice \u00eentre ele, chiar dac\u0103 sunt de la produc\u0103tori diferi\u021bi. Care sunt beneficiile Matter? Din perspectiva consumatorilor, \u00een primul r\u00e2nd, Matter va u\u0219ura procesul de achizi\u021bie \u0219i utilizare al dispozitivelor inteligente. Av\u00e2nd la dispozi\u021bie un standard unificat de conectivitate \u00eentre diferite ecosisteme, \u00eenseamn\u0103 mai multe op\u021biuni pentru crearea \u0219i controlarea unei case inteligente. De \u00eendat\u0103 ce vom vedea logo-ul Matter pe un dispozitiv, vom \u0219ti c\u0103 acesta poate func\u021biona cu alte dispozitive pe care le avem deja acas\u0103, de la al\u021bi produc\u0103tori, dac\u0103 acelea suport\u0103 la r\u00e2ndul lor Matter. Iar fiindc\u0103 Matter permite ca toate dispozitivele smart compatibile s\u0103 fie controlate dintr-o singur\u0103 aplica\u021bie, se poate reduce num\u0103rul de aplica\u021bii instalate pe telefoanele noastre. Cu Matter, se poate seta ca \u0219i “admin” aplica\u021bia pe care o prefer\u0103m \u0219i vom putea apoi s\u0103 control\u0103m toate dispozitivele inteligente din locuin\u021ba noastr\u0103 doar din acesta, chiar dac\u0103 dispozitivele sunt de la produc\u0103tori diferi\u021bi. De asemenea, dispozitivele se vor putea controla prin comenzi vocale, folosind asistentul pe care \u00eel prefer\u0103m mai mult, fie Google Assistant, Amazong Alexa sau Siri. Din perspectiva produc\u0103torilor, un protocol de conectivitate open-source le permite acestora s\u0103 reduc\u0103 din costurile \u0219i timpul necesar dezvolt\u0103rii de noi ecosisteme IoT. Astfel, se simplific\u0103 \u0219i procesul de creare al noilor produse \u0219i servicii, permi\u021b\u00e2ndu-le produc\u0103torilor s\u0103 se concentreze mai mult pe inovare sau pe lansarea mai rapid\u0103 a produsului finit. Odat\u0103 ce Matter SDK va fi preg\u0103tit, produc\u0103torii \u0219i companiile implicate \u00een dezvoltarea standardului \u00eel vor putea folosi pentru a-\u0219i integra produsele \u00een ecosistemul Matter, aflat \u00een continu\u0103 expansiune, gratuit, f\u0103r\u0103 a fi necesarar\u0103 plata drepturilor de autor. Care produc\u0103tori ofer\u0103 compatibilitate cu Matter? Num\u0103rul brandurilor ce ofer\u0103 sau vor oferi compatibilitate cu Matter este uria\u0219 \u0219i \u00een continu\u0103 cre\u0219tere. Mai jos putem vedea c\u00e2teva exemple: Ce dispozitive sunt compatibile cu Matter? Evident, dispozitivele concepute pentru a func\u021biona cu Matter vor fi compatibile, a\u0219a c\u0103 recomand\u0103m verificarea specifica\u021biilor dispozitivelor noi pe care inten\u021bionezi s\u0103 le cumperi pe viitor. De asemenea, anumite dispozitive compatibile cu Thread, ZigBee sau Z-wave vor putea folosi Matter dup\u0103 o actualizare firmware sau dup\u0103 un software development kit (SDK) dedicat. Matter 1.0 va acoperi momentan doar o parte din categoriile de dispozitive inteligente, oferind suport doar pentru cele mai des \u00eent\u00e2lnite \u0219i folosite dintre ele, precum: Alte categorii, precum camerele de supraveghere inteligente, vor fi incluse pe viitor.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6223,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[344,177,178,346,349],"class_list":["post-6222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tehnologie","tag-iot","tag-matter","tag-nuki","tag-open-source","tag-priza-inteligenta"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.smart-infra.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6222","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.smart-infra.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.smart-infra.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.smart-infra.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.smart-infra.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6222"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/shop.smart-infra.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6222\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.smart-infra.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.smart-infra.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.smart-infra.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.smart-infra.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
