The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) has launched Matter 1.4, enhancing interoperability among smart home ecosystems.
This update introduces a refined Multi-Admin feature, allowing users to connect Matter devices to multiple smart home systems with a single consent, simplifying management.
New device compatibility includes solar panels, batteries, heat pumps, and water heaters, expanding the ecosystem's capabilities.
Additionally, the update improves network infrastructure with certified Home Router and Access Point (HRAP) devices, integrating WiFi and Thread networks.
Energy management features have also been enhanced, enabling smarter automation and consumption optimization for devices like thermostats.
Manufacturers can now integrate Matter 1.4 into their products, reinforcing CSA's commitment to simplicity and interoperability in the IoT landscape.
