That\u2019s the message from smart home device makers Eve Systems and Nanoleaf, who have been involved with developing the protocol that promises smart home nirvana since its earliest days. \u201cI think the three-month delay might actually be a good thing,\u201d says Gimmy Chu CEO of Nanoleaf. \u201cI feel that now there\u2019s more certainty across the industry that we\u2019ll have unity at time of launch.\u201d <\/p>\n<p id=\"ZOLL8a\">While there may be more certainty in the industry, current smart home owners are still in a quagmire of uncertainty around which products to buy and when. Especially now that Chu has confirmed to <em>The Verge<\/em> that Nanoleaf\u2019s Thread-enabled A19 smart light bulb and light strip won\u2019t work with the standard. \u201c[They] will require a different chip,\u201d says Chu. \u201cWe hope to launch a new Essentials A19 and a new light strip when Matter arrives this year.\u201d This is a blow to owners who bought the products thinking that being Thread-enabled meant they would be upgradable to Matter. The devices will continue to work with HomeKit over Thread, however, and with other platforms either over Bluetooth or over Thread using a cloud-to-cloud integration, says Chu. <\/p>\n<div>\n<aside id=\"1aROpu\"><q><em>Nanoleaf won\u2019t launch some products until Matter arrives&#8230; whenever that is.<\/em><\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"hqOWPM\">Announced in 2019 by Amazon, Apple, Google, and Samsung, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/22787729\/matter-smart-home-standard-apple-amazon-google\">Matter is the result of a collaboration by much of the industry<\/a>. Its purpose is to allow devices from any manufacturer to work with devices from any other manufacturer, seamlessly. As I reported last week, the standard was originally going to launch in June of this year, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/3\/17\/22982166\/matter-smart-home-standard-postponed-fall-2022\">the timeline has shifted to a more nebulous date of \u201cfall 2022.\u201d<\/a> <\/p>\n<p id=\"FzDpz1\">While the big smart home platforms have been bullish on Matter since the beginning, with Amazon, Google, and Samsung SmartThings pledging their full support, exactly how that will manifest itself in their apps and other control devices has been murky. Nanoleaf\u2019s Chu singled out Apple, whom Nanoleaf worked closely with on the launch of its Essentials A19 bulb to coincide with the arrival of the HomePod Mini. \u201cWe know nothing about what Apple plans to do with Matter,\u201d he says. \u201cBut we do know around September sometime they launch a new iOS. If Matter had launched in the summer, would Apple have been ready, or would it have waited?\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-float-left\">\n<figure class=\"e-image\">\n  <span class=\"e-image__inner\"><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"e-image__image \" data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342608\/Nanoleaf_Essentials__Bulb___3_Pack_Product_Shot.jpg\"><\/p>\n<picture class=\"c-picture\" data-cid=\"site\/picture_element-1648216588_6042_419542\" data-cdata='{\"asset_id\":23342608,\"ratio\":\"*\"}'><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/BCjnPhAdLlhjqSWh11mokIwichA=\/0x0:6000x6000\/320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6000x6000):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342608\/Nanoleaf_Essentials__Bulb___3_Pack_Product_Shot.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/QEl6aRGyrDaYwxS5zDdg6jCexNc=\/0x0:6000x6000\/520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6000x6000):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342608\/Nanoleaf_Essentials__Bulb___3_Pack_Product_Shot.jpg 520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/BEdXnSGHNwLPIbGCIUoqx20_lUY=\/0x0:6000x6000\/720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6000x6000):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342608\/Nanoleaf_Essentials__Bulb___3_Pack_Product_Shot.jpg 720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/69jGP1Xhk7rZMR2MtEn6Wv3Z2aE=\/0x0:6000x6000\/920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6000x6000):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342608\/Nanoleaf_Essentials__Bulb___3_Pack_Product_Shot.jpg 920w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/-nvZNr2iWaMO8OCT-LlGD7rLb14=\/0x0:6000x6000\/1120x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6000x6000):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342608\/Nanoleaf_Essentials__Bulb___3_Pack_Product_Shot.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/HIw2opgB3ij0uirbgbYdJ7S0ISI=\/0x0:6000x6000\/1320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6000x6000):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342608\/Nanoleaf_Essentials__Bulb___3_Pack_Product_Shot.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/V6S02fnx-3j2-JhNcBVQCPBvChI=\/0x0:6000x6000\/1520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6000x6000):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342608\/Nanoleaf_Essentials__Bulb___3_Pack_Product_Shot.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/uhs5m5MM_LXiCFHvtKjFvR16vp0=\/0x0:6000x6000\/1720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6000x6000):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342608\/Nanoleaf_Essentials__Bulb___3_Pack_Product_Shot.jpg 1720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/ZLZD8pldIzjR2AQAFD3ITDU8f_k=\/0x0:6000x6000\/1920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6000x6000):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342608\/Nanoleaf_Essentials__Bulb___3_Pack_Product_Shot.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1221px) 846px, (min-width: 880px) calc(100vw -

I\u2019ve heard from many readers that they are holding off on buying devices for their smart home, because they want to know it will work with Matter. We\u2019ve now been waiting nearly three years. And, despite assurances from the CSA that it is working on bringing existing devices into the Matter fold, it seems increasingly likely that we\u2019ll need to buy new devices if we want Matter-capable products.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"e-image\">\n  <span class=\"e-image__inner\"><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"e-image__image \" data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342487\/Elements_7x_Dining_Winter_4000x2250px.jpg\"><\/p>\n<picture class=\"c-picture\" data-cid=\"site\/picture_element-1648216588_2337_419543\" data-cdata='{\"asset_id\":23342487,\"ratio\":\"*\"}'><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/6u83L_x1_5N65GMhMrJhF-rQQKE=\/0x0:1920x1080\/320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342487\/Elements_7x_Dining_Winter_4000x2250px.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/YP4M8q88vEspwUDObGbXT0xIZic=\/0x0:1920x1080\/520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342487\/Elements_7x_Dining_Winter_4000x2250px.jpg 520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/dBruc7Yvh-wILlaSsZ9wEO3Doic=\/0x0:1920x1080\/720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342487\/Elements_7x_Dining_Winter_4000x2250px.jpg 720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/b9NwAWYGslMasqO8lx8S3_e6RlM=\/0x0:1920x1080\/920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342487\/Elements_7x_Dining_Winter_4000x2250px.jpg 920w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/tEs_cdj43fDn0lW9gnH1vveBs1I=\/0x0:1920x1080\/1120x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342487\/Elements_7x_Dining_Winter_4000x2250px.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/HgPeZe8gfeaC39Vlvqb7Ti73Jqg=\/0x0:1920x1080\/1320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342487\/Elements_7x_Dining_Winter_4000x2250px.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/At0oirR72g10PkW7RCNLsimp-yg=\/0x0:1920x1080\/1520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342487\/Elements_7x_Dining_Winter_4000x2250px.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/vLvbEGs4RCHdXSMWvscr32Bv6lc=\/0x0:1920x1080\/1720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342487\/Elements_7x_Dining_Winter_4000x2250px.jpg 1720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/aK3fG3SRm38edU-iE0t5Esz-aUA=\/0x0:1920x1080\/1920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23342487\/Elements_7x_Dining_Winter_4000x2250px.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1221px) 846px, (min-width: 880px) calc(100vw -

In fact, these have been ready to go since last year, when Matter was originally supposed to launch, but Nanoleaf held them back when the launch of the standard was delayed. \u201cWe don\u2019t plan on launching these new products until the final spec is here,\u201d he says. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to launch something that, three months later, becomes obsolete.\u201d <\/p>\n<p id=\"MNvouu\">Do it once, and do it right is Nanoleaf\u2019s approach now. But as Matter\u2019s timeline keeps shifting, Chu admits it\u2019s been challenging. \u201cWe would love to have recognized that revenue earlier and be building out that aspect of our business,\u201d he says. \u201cBut we\u2019re in it for the long game.\u201d <\/p>\n<p id=\"ldyXjh\">Nanoleaf also has a number of products that work as Thread border routers, a device that connects a Thread network to other IP-based networks, such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Thread and Matter will go hand in hand when it launches. But Chu says the company hasn\u2019t decided if it will upgrade the Shapes, Lines, and Elements lighting panels to Matter, although the right hardware is there to do it. \u201cI haven\u2019t found a user-centric reason to upgrade them to Matter.
