Frequently Asked Questions
What is Matter?
Matter is a smart home connectivity standard designed to make compatible devices work more easily across major smart home ecosystems. It provides a common way for supported devices and platforms to communicate, helping simplify setup, control, and interoperability.
What do I need to use Matter?
You'll need a Matter-compatible smart home platform and Matter-compatible devices. Depending on the product and ecosystem, you may also need a compatible Matter Controller or smart home hub. Matter over Thread devices additionally require a Thread Border Router.
What is the difference between Matter over Thread and Matter over Wi-Fi?
Both use the Matter standard, but they connect differently. Matter over Wi-Fi devices connect through your Wi-Fi network, while Matter over Thread devices use a low-power Thread mesh network and require a Thread Border Router to connect with your smart home ecosystem.
