Amazon wants every smart home device to work with its Alexa ecosystem, and it says Matter is key to achieving that goal. \u201cWe really believe in ambient intelligence \u2014 an environment where your devices are woven together by artificial intelligence so they can offer far more than any device could do on its own,\u201d Marja Koopmans, director of Alexa smart home, told The Verge<\/em> in an interview. <\/p>\n

\u201cMatter brings interoperability, and interoperability between all of those devices in the home is essential to realizing [our] vision of ambient intelligence.\u201d The more devices can talk to each other, the more \u201cexperiences\u201d platforms can build with them. For example, \u201cIf I leave home and I forget to turn off the lights or adjust my thermostat, Alexa will do that for me, including locking the doors,\u201d says Koopmans. <\/p>\n

Matter is a new standard coming to a smart home near you later this year. It will allow connected devices to communicate using existing IP-based wireless protocols Thread and Wi-Fi. It’s not a smart home platform like Apple HomeKit, Google Home, or Amazon’s Alexa. So, you will still need to choose one of these platforms to run your Matter-enabled devices, but you aren’t limited to one.<\/p>\n
