The massive growth of the smart home market has led to problems with competing standards and protocols. The World Economic Forum estimates that more than 130 million households owned a smart home device in 2022. These issues have grown exponentially. Matter solves these problems by establishing a new smart home standard that allows smart home devices to be controlled by one app, improves security, and creates more reliable connections. Today, the best smart home devices that support Matter include devices from Google, Apple, and Amazon.

But what exactly is Matter, and how does it work? This article covers everything you need to know about Matter, including how it could help you build a security system with smart home devices.

      I don’t have to click on it to know exactly which one it is, and was the one that came to my mind as well.

      Quite possibly, although this kinda feels like the one to rule them all (and in the darkness bind them). Anyway, I feel relatively happy with developments so far (although it’s messier than hoped, but perhaps it always would be) and it is an important thing for people to know getting started on s smart home set-up.
