The latest in IoT Insider’s technical article series has just been released – an in-depth exploration of the smart home standard Matter.
Following on from the first technical article which covered how IoT is being used as an essential tool against climate change, the second in the series digs into the smart home, interoperability, and Matter.
‘Taking Matter(s) into your own hands’ provides an overview of the standard, beginning with the history of the smart home and the major challenge of interoperability, followed by the introduction of Matter, its evolution, and security concerns.
Industry experts weighed in throughout, with companies such as Silicon Labs, Infineon Technologies and NXP Semiconductors all discussing why they were drawn to the standard, the work they have done since its introduction in 2021 to develop it, and what excites them most about it.
Matter 1.4, the most recent version of the standard, shows how the CSA and its member companies are branching out into energy management – a key talking point given the high price of energy for households across Europe.
Thank you to the following experts for taking the time to provide their personal experiences of Matter and expertise; Chris LaPre, Head of Technology at the CSA; Chetan Joshi, Lead Product Manager at Panasonic Industry Europe; Steve Hanna, Distinguished Engineer at Infineon Technologies; Sujata Neideig, Marketing Director and Steve Condel, Director of Product Marketing and Management at NXP Semiconductors; Finn Boetius, Product Marketing Manager at Nordic Semiconductor; Matt Maupin, Senior Product Manager and Rob Alexander, Principal Product Manager at Silicon Labs; Gweltas Radenac, Business Line Director – IoT at SEALSQ, a WISeKey subsidiary; and Mark Tekippe, VP of Product and Growth at Samsung SmartThings.
