This means the Matter smart home standard, first developed by Google, Apple, Samsung, Amazon, and others, now has the foundation in place to start delivering on its ambitious promises: interoperability, simplicity, security, and a smart home that just works.Amazon has said it will enable its smart speakers and displays as Matter controllers over Wi-Fi by the end of the year, with Thread support coming in 2023.The first device categories that will work with Matter include smart plugs, switches and bulbs, smart thermostats, motorized window shades, and smart locks.If a company has “integrated and tested their products with Google,” it will also have the Works With Google Home badge.We’re still waiting on Matter devicesWhile we now have a host of Matter controllers — including Google’s speakers and displays, HomePod Minis, Samsung SmartThings hubs, and Amazon Echo speakers and displays coming later this year — we don’t have many things to actually control with them yet."
