What is Matter?
Before Matter, smart home devices from different brands didn’t work together. Each device needed its own app and hub, making your smart home setup complex and frustrating.
Matter was introduced as a "universal language" for all your smart home devices, regardless of their brand. It improves device compatibility, simplifies setup, enhances device security, and boosts connection reliability.
