Matter and Smart Home Automation

Oct. 31, 2024

Matter is a key component to success in the Smart Home Automation Market

Matter is critical to the success in the Smart Home arena because of the plethora of protocols and vendors. There is some commonality with standard platforms and protocols but these tend to be a mix of company standards, defacto standards and formal standards but not one of these dominates nor do they provide a level of interoperability like Matter which is its function. The Connectivity Standards Alliance is the holder and manager of all things Matter including the Matter Specifications.

The articles in this TechXchange look at the trends and issues in the Smart Home automation market and how Matter is working to improve the overall environment.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
