Why Matter matters: The future universal connectivity standard for IoT devices


The new Matter standard will be coming to various connected devices by the end of 2021. — AFP Relaxnews

The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) has presented Matter, a new connectivity standard offering for the first time compatibility across all the sector’s major players. In other words, Internet of Things (IoT) devices with Matter support will be able to function in any connected environment and no matter what smartphone you have.
