But what is Matter you ask? Matter
is a universal language connecting
your smart home devices, no
matter who they're manufactured
by. Thread is a low-power, low-
latency mesh network that enables
smart devices to communicate
directly with one another.
Thread and Matter are two
complementary technologies
designed to enhance the smart
home ecosystem. Together, they
address many of the challenges
faced by users and manufacturers,
such as interoperability, reliability,
and ease of use.
