Matter, the coming smart home standard that aims to be the answer to many of today\u2019s smart home headaches<\/a>, is supported by a long list of companies. From platform owners like Apple, Google, and Amazon to major manufacturers such as Samsung and LG and smaller, accessory-focused players like Nanoleaf, Eve, and Wyze, there\u2019s an unprecedented industry coalition behind Matter.<\/p>\n

A common language for smart home devices to communicate, Matter aims to simplify everything about the smart home, from purchase, to set up, to everyday use. Its biggest promise is that it will enable smart devices to work with each other, across platforms and ecosystems, no matter<\/em> who made them.<\/p>\n

But Matter hasn\u2019t yet arrived \u2014 following another setback<\/a>, it\u2019s now expected to launch in the fall of 2022. This makes it hard to determine how it will work in your home and what it will allow you to do that isn\u2019t easy or even possible today. <\/p>\n

To answer some of these questions we\u2019ve gathered information from published documents and talked to the companies that plan to support it and the Connectivity Standards Alliance<\/a> (CSA) that oversees Matter.<\/p>\n
