What is Matter
Matter is an open-source connectivity standard for smart home and IoT devices. Developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), Matter aims to enable secure, reliable, and seamless communication between a wide range of devices from different manufacturers. It is designed to work over common networking technologies such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Thread, and supports integration with major smart home ecosystems.
For more information about Matter in the nRF Connect SDK, refer to the Matter documentation.
What is Matter accessory device
To work with the Matter protocol, accessory devices such as sensors, lights, or door locks must be paired with a Matter controller device, which is usually a smart hub or mobile device. Setting up the ecosystem and pairing accessory devices is a required step in the process, and it is often a point where users encounter difficulties.
