All you need to know about Matter

Matter: The Future of Smart Home is Here

Matter is no longer just a promise; it’s now the standard for a smart and connected home. This smart home protocol, developed by over 250 leading manufacturers like Apple, Google, and Amazon, allows smart home devices to communicate effortlessly with one another — no matter the brand or platform you use.

Why is Matter important?

Until recently, smart home users struggled with compatibility issues between devices from different brands and ecosystems. This made it challenging to connect devices seamlessly. Matter solves this problem by providing a universal protocol, allowing devices to work within one ecosystem — without complicated setups or additional bridges.

Smartblinds and Matter

At Smartblinds, we’ve fully embraced this technological breakthrough. Our smart window coverings now come standard with Eve Motionblinds motors with Matter support. This means our roller blinds and other window coverings can be easily connected to any Matter-compatible smart home system, whether you use Apple Home, Google Home, or Amazon Alexa.

How Does Matter Work?

Matter is built on the Thread protocol, a reliable and energy-efficient mesh network. Each device acts as a link in the network, ensuring stable and fast communication. Even if your internet goes down, Matter devices will continue to work together seamlessly.

What Does This Mean for Your Current Smart Home?

Already own smart devices? Many newer devices can receive a software update to support Matter. And with the latest Eve Motionblinds motors, our smart window coverings are future-proof. No need to compromise — enjoy maximum flexibility and long-term compatibility in your smart home.

Is Matter Safe?

Yes! Devices that are Matter-certified must meet strict security standards. This ensures that your smart home is not only more connected but also more secure.
