As a Matter of FAQ

What is Matter?

Matter is a standard and a certification process to allow devices and ecosystems to communicate seamlessly and securely together, simplifying development for manufacturers, and increasing product compatibility for consumers.

What Matter is not?

Matter addresses only local connectivity between devices, controllers, and apps. It does not address anything related to the cloud.

There is no “Matter app,” so the user must select one or more apps as provided by an ecosystem or device provider.

How is Matter different than other standards?

Matter is open source, including an SDK and a test suite which are free to use.

Matter has the support of all the main smart home platforms, such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Samsung, and SmartThings.

Matter is IPv6-based, which unifies the communication protocol.

What is the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA)?

Previously known as the Zigbee Alliance, the recently rebranded CSA is driven by its board members which include Amazon, Apple, Google, IKEA, Legrand, NXP Semiconductors, Resideo, Samsung SmartThings, Schneider Electric, Signify, Silicon Labs, Somfy, and Wulian.

Their focus is to develop, promote, and certify solutions with universal open standards. There are over 400 member companies representing EMEA (40%), Americas (30%), and China (25%).
