Advantages of certifying with Matter

Matter has delivered significant advantages for both smart-home consumers and the manufacturers who serve them. By establishing a common language for smart devices, Matter has successfully addressed previously fragmented market through simplified setup, unified management across platforms, and expanded choice and flexibility in voice control.

For consumers, this unified experience has made building and expanding their smart home significantly less complex and daunting. With thousands of certified Matter devices now available across major ecosystems including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and Samsung SmartThings, the promise of interoperability has become reality. Device makers have also realized meaningful benefits through streamlined certification, reduced development costs, and simplified customer support.

Since its launch in 2022, Matter has evolved through multiple versions. Matter version 1.5 now supports over 50 device types, including the highly anticipated camera streaming capability. The standard has reached critical mass in the market, making Matter certification essential rather than optional for device manufacturers seeking competitiveness. Both consumers and manufacturers benefit as Matter continues to drive greater interoperability and lower barriers to smart-home adoption. Overall, certification to the Matter standard has accelerated growth of the smart-home market by solving problems that previously held it back.
