IT Home News on March 17, Apple, Google, Amazon and other manufacturers have previously participated in the Connection Standards Alliance (CSA), planning to release a new set of smart home interconnection standards "Matter".
According to The Verge, the Connectivity Standards Consortium (CSA) today announced that the release of the "Matter" smart home standard has been postponed until fall 2022.
IT Home learned that the "Matter" standard was born out of the CHIP (IP-based Smart Connected Home) project, which is not to technically subvert the smart home, but to solve the problems of smart home communication protocol fragmentation, platform non-interoperability, and complex experience.
"Matter" is not only a set of protocol standards, but also a kind of "product certification", a smart home product support Matter, which means that it can access the three most mainstream platforms on the market, and the vast majority of mobile phones, smart speakers for interconnection.
The alliance previously intended to publish the standard in late 2020, which was subsequently postponed to the second half of 2021. In August 2021, the coalition announced that it would postpone it to 2022.
The updated timeline suggests that Matter-certified devices will still be available for sale this year, with 130 devices from 15 categories from 50 companies becoming the first to support the Matter standard.
