(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/scienrds/scienceandnerds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Source: https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/9\/3\/23334933\/matter-eve-smart-home-demonstration-nest-hub-android-smartthings-alexa-echo<\/a> Matter, the upcoming standard that\u2019s attempting to give the smart home a single unifying language, is almost here \u2014 and I was just treated to an early demonstration of the kinds of cross-platform compatibility that it should enable in the future. The demonstration was given by Eve, which produces a range of smart plugs, radiator valves, lighting, and security devices. <\/p>\n Historically, Eve has only ever worked with Apple\u2019s HomeKit<\/a> smart home platform. This is because it didn\u2019t want to use cloud-to-cloud platforms, preferring to keep its devices on locally-controlled platforms for privacy and security. Eve has had an iOS app but no Android app, and it didn\u2019t support Samsung\u2019s SmartThings, Amazon\u2019s Alexa, or Google Home. So it was notable to see all four platforms represented as I approached Eve\u2019s booth at the IFA trade show in Berlin. <\/p>\n The reason for the shift is Matter<\/a>. It\u2019s perhaps the most significant thing to happen to the smart home since its inception, and in theory, we\u2019re just months away from it becoming publicly available<\/a>. Eve also announced it\u2019s launching an Android app as a counterpart to its existing iOS app<\/a>, but the big deal with Matter is that you don\u2019t technically need a device manufacturer\u2019s app at all. You can just set up and control your Matter-enabled devices with existing apps, whether it\u2019s Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or Samsung SmartThings apps.<\/p>\n That\u2019s exactly what Eve was demonstrating at IFA. The Matter specification hasn\u2019t been finalized yet, so none of the devices were running their final Matter-enabled firmware, but it was enough to see the kinds of functionality we might be able to expect when Eve\u2019s devices get updated to support it.<\/p>\n
