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

The Amazon table contained a fourth-generation Echo speaker, along with a typical non-smart bulb plugged into an Eve Energy smart plug. Right now, Echo speakers can\u2019t control Eve products, because the latter aren\u2019t Alexa-enabled. But both products are compatible with Thread<\/a>, one of the wireless protocols Matter works over and which can run locally. Eve was showing off how Matter will enable these two previously incompatible devices to speak to one another.<\/p>\n

Eve\u2019s booth reps were pretty insistent that no one other than them uses voice commands to control each of their smart plugs, so I was reliant on them to issue the commands that would control Eve\u2019s devices. \u201cAlexa, turn off my Eve Energy,\u201d one rep asked a fourth-generation Amazon Echo. After an (admittedly quite long) beat, a bulb plugged into an Eve Energy smart plug clicked off. <\/p>\n

Matter\u2019s design makes it simple and seamless for users across different platforms to control the same smart home products natively. The result is a more cohesive experience, where whichever voice assistant you choose to use can control all your Matter-enabled devices and where configuration changes made to a device via one ecosystem will automatically be reflected everywhere else. Each of the four demo stations was using the same model of Eve Energy smart plug, without the need for separate models for different ecosystems. Because the accessory already supports Thread, updating it to support Matter was a relatively seamless process, Eve\u2019s PR Director Lars Felber tells me.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

A Nest Hub (2nd gen) turning off an Eve Energy via voice command.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

On the Google table, there was both a Thread-enabled second-generation Nest Hub<\/a> and a Google Pixel 6 Pro running the Google Home app. First, Felber told the Nest Hub, \u201cOk Google, turn on my lights.\u201d The instant the Google smart display recognized the command, the Eve Energy smart plug behind it clicked on the attached light bulb. The smart display had sent a signal to the smart plug over Thread to turn it on, thanks to Matter.<\/p>\n

Using the Android phone running the Google Home app was less seamless in my demonstration. \u201cPhones don\u2019t do Thread,\u201d Felber explained to me. As a result, the handset needed to communicate with the Nest Hub over a local Wi-Fi network for the smart display to send the command to the smart plug via Thread. Unfortunately, attempting to control the smart plug from the phone straight up didn\u2019t work. The icon on the phone responded to my taps, but the light remained unchanged.<\/p>\n

It was a shame to not see Matter working flawlessly, but trade show floors are admittedly one of the worst possible places to demonstrate technology like this. Felber told me that there were around 50 overlapping Wi-Fi networks in the trade show hall we were in, and even the least congested Wi-Fi channel still had nine devices on it. The Thread protocol also uses the same 2.4Ghz frequency as Wi-Fi, resulting in more interference. The amount of noise also made issuing voice commands difficult without yelling inches away from the stand\u2019s various smart speakers. Plus, the Matter standard currently isn\u2019t final \u2014 so some bugginess is perhaps to be expected.<\/p>\n

A SmartThings Hub was hidden underneath the table.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

A third table showed off Matter\u2019s integration with SmartThings. Confusingly, there was only a single Samsung phone (a Galaxy S22) on this table, with no Thread border router in sight. But Felber confirmed to me that the company was using an Aeotec-manufactured SmartThings Hub \u2014 that for some reason was hidden inside the table \u2014 to transmit the signal to the Eve Energy. While totally misleading, the demo worked well. Using the SmartThings app to control the smart plug felt instantaneous. <\/p>\n

Finally, there was the Apple table, the least surprising of the four because it demonstrated a hardware setup that the HomeKit-exclusive Eve lineup already supports just fine \u2014 albeit now updated to use Matter rather than just Apple\u2019s HomeKit. Alongside the smart plug and bulb on that table was an iPhone 13 and a HomePod Mini smart speaker acting as a Thread border router. Controlling the smart plug via either was very responsive. <\/p>\n

Although the launch of the Matter standard means Eve\u2019s devices are about to get a lot more functional, existing owners shouldn\u2019t need to buy new hardware to reap the benefits. Felber says Eve plans to push an OTA update to all its Thread-enabled products (which account for 14 of its 18-strong product lineup) to use Matter. The Eve Energy will be first, hopefully by the end of the year, with other devices like the Eve Door & Window<\/a>, the Eve Weather<\/a>, the Eve Motion<\/a>, and the Eve Thermo<\/a> following afterward. <\/p>\n

Turning light bulbs on and off is a simple smart home party trick, and there are plenty of other examples of smart devices that work across different ecosystems. But seeing a currently Apple-exclusive accessory work (relatively) seamlessly across all these different ecosystems, with both voice and app control, has me pretty excited for what Matter might be able to achieve when it launches this fall.<\/p>\n
