Ongoing updates to the Matter standard and how to demonstrate compatibility

Matter is an industry-unifying open standard that manufacturers can use to improve the reliability and security of Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems. This evolving standard is designed to simplify the development of smart environments and facilitate greater interoperability, sustainability and security.

Through the ongoing collaboration of numerous industry stakeholders, Matter is continuing to evolve to meet the needs of our increasingly connected world.

Built on Internet Protocol (IP), Matter also utilizes proven technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for setup and Thread and Ethernet for connection. Matter functions as the application layer that facilitates device communication among connected devices, regardless of the underlying network protocol or system.

According to ABI Research’s application analysis report, within five years, more than half of the world’s key smart home devices will be Matter-compliant.

Latest update: Matter 1.5

The latest version of Matter was released on Nov. 20, 2025. The 1.5 version offers support for additional smart home device categories, including cameras, closures (garage doors, shades, awnings, gates) and soil sensors for advanced garden and lawn care.

Additionally, Matter 1.5 covers advanced energy management so devices can support standardized exchange of energy data among utilities, grid operators and energy services. Matter 1.5 also enables more efficient and reliable transmission of large data sets through more robust support for operation over TCP transport, which can lead to better performance, efficiency and battery life.
