Overview of Matter EcoSystem

  • Silicon Labs Matter platforms integrates with the most recent versions of the Matter protocol and works with several commercial Matter ecosystems.

  • Matter allows multiple ecosystems to work together and control the Device.

  • Silicon Labs Matter devices can be controlled by various Matter enabled Ecosystems.

Prerequisites

Ecosystems
