IoT protocols are numerous. They are often wed to particular applications, implementations, companies or organizations but they typically need to coexist with other protocols.
Matter was created as a bridge between various protocols to allow a switch in one environment to turn on a light controlled by another. In theory, it allows a single application to control multiple devices with different heritage in a seamless fashion. The Connectivity Standards Alliance is organization that manages Matter.
We covered protocols like Zigbee and Thread that can be part of a Matter network. This TechXchange collects Matter-related TechXchanges that contain articles, videos and podcasts covering Matter from different perspectives. You can also search for Matter articles on this site.
Here is the list of curated Matter topics. All the TechXchanges are updated as new articles on a topic are added to the site.
