What do I need to use Matter devices?
In Matter, there are a few important concepts that make up the onboarding and control of a device.
Matter Controller (Matter Hub)
Matter Controller(or Matter Hub) is a central device controller connecting and controlling Matter-enabled APP and Matter devices, so your smart home is more responsive and reliable. It can be built into other devices, or even simply be a smartphone app. *Matter Hub and Matter-enabled APP need to correspond. For example, adding Matter device to Alexa App requires a Matter hub device corresponding to Alexa…
Matter Commissioner
A Matter commissioner serves the purpose of establishing a connection between the Matter device and a Matter Hub during the onboarding process. Your mobile device equipped with the necessary Matter commissioner functionality allows for seamless pairing and setup like the eWeLink App, Alexa App, Google Home App, Apple Home, SmartThings app, etc.
*Please note that the latest version of eWeLink App version 5.0 is required.
Matter Bridge
A Matter bridge is a device that can bring non-Matter products into the Matter ecosystem. It acts as an intermediary between Matter and non-Matter devices. You can synchronize various devices within Matter bridge to platforms such as Alexa, Google Home, Apple, and others using the Matter bridge.
Matter Devices
Matter devices can be used in multiple smart home platforms (Google Home, Apple Home, Alexa, and more) at the same time, your entire family can control your home through their preferred voice assistant or app, this means less time choosing and setting up devices, and more time exploring features and enjoying your smart home.
