How is the Smart Home market changed by "Matter"? ~Tell you the latest trend and the smart home market in the future~

In October 2022, the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA, formerly known as the ZigBee Alliance), a wireless standard promotion organization, officially announced a new smart home standard called Matter. Matter is expected to revolutionize the clutter of existing smart home standards, making it possible for Apple, Amazon, and Google to use the standard to achieve greater “security,” “convenience,” and “comfort.

Since the release of Matter 1.0 in 2022 and the implementation of its certification program, manufacturers have announced that their products will support the Matter protocol one after another. Last December, we assisted Panasonic Life Solutions India Pvt in obtaining Matter 1.2 certification for room air conditioners, powered by the MirAIe platform. Starting with this move, what will be the trend for device manufacturers in Japan?

And since Matter works over different communication protocols, it enables various smart home products, bridges, controlled mobile devices, and cloud services to work together across ecosystems. Matter appears to improve the convenience and interoperability of smart home devices. But is it really true?
