Matter is an interoperability standard that works over local networks, essentially bridging devices together using Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Thread (an open source IP and mesh networking protocol). It’s designed to reduce device fragmentation, improve security and reliability, and make your smart home easier to use. The four biggest platforms — Apple Home, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings — all support Matter. That means you can use any of their apps, smart speakers and hubs (and their voice assistants) to control your Matter devices. A feature called multi-admin lets you choose which platform or ecosystem to use to manage your devices.

All devices with Matter built in will work over Thread, and any device that has the capability to act as a controller can also connect to Wi-Fi or ethernet. You’ll need a Matter controller to set up and configure Matter devices, and you can buy those from the big four platforms as well as manufacturers such as Google, Amazon, Legrand, Aqara and Eve Systems.

Matter controllers are also Thread border routers, and they communicate with all the other devices in your house over their low-power mesh network. Those devices, in turn, communicate with each other over Matter, which routes messages between them and to your mobile device for remote access. matter residences
