Understanding Matter: Dive deeper into the Smart Home (Home Automation) Standard

In this video, i introduce you to Matter, the new IPv6-based application protocol for smart homes. We'll explore how Matter works, including its use of WiFi, Thread, Ethernet, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) as underlying technologies. We'll also delve into the inner workings of Matter, including its use of clusters for modeling data and ensuring interoperability, its device commissioning process using BLE, and its security techniques. We'll take a look at the different layers of Matter and how they work together. In Matter even other smart home devices using different standards can be integrated, such as ZigBee. So we dive into the exciting world of Matter and the future of smart home networking.

I’ve been looking for a deep-dive like this for a while now. Thank you for putting together such a great and thorough video!

[Andrew-rcvh]

Thanks for a super-useful introduction. This video has saved me a lot of time.

[ericwang]

Thank you very much for your guidance. I learned quite a lot of thread communication methods from the video, which is really very useful. If it is convenient for you, can you teach about thread's low power consumption and mater-related program examples?😊😊😊

[gzoechi]

Thanks for the great introduction and overview about Matter.
I just set up a Thread+Matter network using Python-Matter-Server and Homeassistant.
What I'm looking for is if it's possible and what is required to have for example a switch that controls a lamps state without Homeassistant being involved (except for commissioning and perhaps configuration, but not in the transaction).
I got the impression Groups and ACLs are involved, but otherwise I haven't found this discussed anywhere.

You are a phenomenal instructor, you make things effortlessly understandable! I always feel more confident engaging with these materials after watching your videos!

[wizardy]

Thanks for your new tutorial and happy new year

[HSV_BVB]

that was a really great technical introduction to matter. Thank you very much :)

[weijiexu-mn]

Great Video for Matter instruction!Thank you !!

[mathicalee]

Sehr cool, vielen Dank! Bin mega interessiert an thread und matter, habe einige projekte mit thread gemacht aber nicht mit matter. Zephyr ist auch ein framework das ich ziemlich mag, aber noch nicht ganz drin bin. Ist schon ein zephyr bzw. connect-sdk und matter geplant? Danke und freue mich schon auf die nächsten videos. 😊

[dreamEater]

Thank you for the introduction. I have been working on the stack. I can't wait for your demo since I am running into commissioning issues setting up nRF52 over TBR and the CHIP tool. It will be great if you can also go over how the decryption works using the keys.

Thank you again. Cheers!

How do you compare matter with coap and lwm2m?

[pmull]

Thanks for this. Can you please explain how the passcide or QR code gets generated? Can this be anything? I read somewhere that the QR code gets generated from the Vendor and product ID. How does the commissioner then check that this passcode or QR code is something valid that makes sense?
