The next thing that we need is a universal standard for *EV Charger* It is a big mess right now

This sounds amazing. However, I’ll believe it when I see it.

It only Matters For Apple Users, most devices support Google/Amazon.

Should I be hyped by this? Deeply concerned? Or desperately scared? I'm not sure. For me, it sounds more like Ultron than Advengers.

Imagine the amount of data they could collect

This changes everything for smart homes! Glad I'm getting on board at the right time.

IKEA and Kroger sell lamps and all sorts of electrical devices.

Apple, Amazon, Google...working together... Yes, wonderful, I definitely want more of my data harvested

My smart home device is still my brain - I think 😂... singularity on the way

This may be a dumb question but here it goes, when matter goes live will I have to upgrade to a new google nest cam and thermostat for it to be able to work with Apple HomeKit? I would love to just use one smart speaker, as of now I have an echo to control these devices and a HomePod for my everyday Apple uses like mail, calling, text and music.

This will be amazing! I have Amazon Echo devices, a Samsung phone and and Apple IPad… Currently it is really annoying that some of my smart devices work with each other and some don’t! I have a couple of smart bulbs, a smart TV and a few smart plugs and while most of them work automatically with my phone only one of the bulbs works with my iPad, unless I use the Alea app on my iPad, so I cant just ask Siri to turn on the light or turn on the lamp, but the Apple compatible smart devices are generally way more expensive and some of them wont work with say Alexa or Android.. This would be a game changer!

Be careful what you wish for, you might get it and some more.

Imagine not being able to hide from any of these companies. Imagine not having any privacy. Wait. I don't have to imagine....

Samsung, Amazon, and Google are the real trio

This is very exciting. It will be great to use any smart speaker to control the home. I currently have Echo and Homepod. I didn’t get it when I saw the Apple event, but this video helped me understand why Matter matters!

I would love to put Siri and Google assistants and apps on my Amazon devices.

Matter matters.

So you could connect google/amazon accesories in Homekit?

Is there a list or site of Matter based products / Apps?

I'm curious how deep these integrations will be with matter. Will this help with security?

The CHIP alliance, should also make universal rooms and scenes that sync across all your smart home ecosystems

Can you imagine if Amazon, Google and Apple did combined forces? Poor Facebook 🤣

I can’t think of a reason Apple needs this type of gig.🇺🇸🐻

1 question. Is matter software or does it require a hardware chip?

Man I would love it if Comcast Xfinity voice remote worked with my other smart home stuff, it's a great remote but super disconnected from the rest of my system

Does this replace Thread as a way for devices to communicate?

The beginning of SKYNET! 😉

Ikea has smart devices like lights, speakers, and blinds. Kroger has smart shopping carts.

Perhaps a consequence of all the current and anticipated antitrust action.

It matters

They do solve all the problems and delete all the confusions to build a smart work or home environments but what about the past products? Can they be able to upgrade to this new Matter thing with a software update? Or this is a hardware game we are talking about here?

I love seeing a "standard" in smart homes.... to me its like the old records, 8 tracks, cassettes, and CDs Just think if say CDs didnt have a standard.... then each CD would have to make a CD for Sony players.... Apple players.... Amazon players.... etc....etc...etc... which would be never ending and very costly... this way, you buy what product you like, and any other product you purchase will work 100% with any products you have. Its a win, win for customers

Sounds good, I am on the Apple Ecosystem, my parents have since introduced Alexa into the house, Wouldn’t it be great if I could drop in to my Mum’s dot from the lounge where the HomePod Mini is, it’s about time you could buy a smart home device without having to worry whether it’s HomeKit compatible or rather works with Alexa, like when Hive married up with Alexa but remained incompatible with Siri

I don't see a downside to that. Yeah they may favor their own smart speakers and add features to hype them up. It'll be nice to be able to control stuff from an iPhone when someone you live with owns an Android and there's an Echo speaker and a Nest thermostat

This would make Apple Homepod actually relevant in the smart home space considering how limited it is compared to Google and Alexa. I hope in the future this also means that our cars and homes can be more connected as we use Carplay and Android Auto. But also considering that cars are getting integrated Alexa and Android Automotive, can't I hope it means turning on our cars through our smart speakers

What's the watch on his wrist?

MATTER is good for the Apple, Amazon and Google - they will start making new devices compliant with MATTER. It means we'll (consumers) need to buy new devices too and the business continues.

“Would be great to ask google assistant on a sonos speaker to turn on the apple tv connected to a Samsung screen without touching the smart things app 😂!”

Cortana left out of the party 😂

Nice

The protocol is less meaningful, IMO than the fact that they aren't creating a more unified and accessible API Most things Matter does, could already be done by Zigbee - what we actually need is more access to our smart devices via standardised APIs so that we can make them do what we actually want, rather than what the manufacturer tells us we can do

What about other smaller companies? What about brands yet to be released? Does it allow for new innovation and competition?

I have a solid state electric fridge that uses a pair of 92mm case fans to cool the heatsink a side of the two TECs that chill the content of the fridge. The two el-cheapo fans it came with packed up in about 3-4 weeks. I've replaced them with two Arctic Cooling 92mm 3-pin case fans. The 3 pins are: +12 VDC 0 V ground Sense, goes high for each revolution. I'm going to add an ESP32 MCU + WiFi+ Bluetooth 4.2 which will read the sense pins and calculate the RPM. Then I need to publish this information somehow using an industry standard for home automation. Then notify myself if the fans stop turning. Does anybody know what standards that I can use are called? I don't want to reinvent the wheel, see?

What about Xiaomi?

Not only do you use to add "finally" too much you pronounce it "finely" too much. 🙃

Cries in Mi devices

FINALLY!

I can't be impressed with high tech until I can download a waffle.

What about Thread? ......

YES big Tech sharing ALL personal info with each other! That’s just what I have ALWAYS wanted

And someday we'll have to ask our home computer for permission to leave the house and for how long. HaHa just kidding.

What happens to Homebridge and Hoobs after Matter?

"Ikea for some reason", come on, you can do better research than that. They have a whole smart light lineup called Trådfri. Great video though!

Midi worked out well 40+ odd years ago…

Matter matters but does the matter in the matter matters?

About time!

will the ring security system FINALLY work with Google assistant??

or super villain line up

Most smart smart home tech already can be used with both Alexa and Google Assistant so I couldn't care less. and if a product doesn't support the one I need the company doesn't get my money because they obviously don't seem to want it 🤷‍♂️

Did he say "IKEA for some reason.." ?

What about the data? Would competing brands (say Apple) allow their rivals (say Amazon) access to their customer data? What about Apple's schtick with data privacy? And Amazon's blatant disregard for that?!?

Basically bluetooth and wifi standards

Woah

Great now all devices (iPhone included) should use USB C.

Just a matter of time, when they will charge us to turn on me lights..

Sounds like Amazon sidewalk, but way creepier because now all the big 3 are involved! Buyer beware.

Why the surprrse about IKEA? They make smart items plugs, lights, bulbs...

I just want to know why Kroger is on the list

This is only a big deal for people in the Apple HomeKit ecosystem, if you are in the Alexa or Google Assistant ecosystem then pretty much every smart device out there is compatible 😂

IKEA needs to join the party!

Why would Amazon and Google open the door for Apple?

Finally

IKEA for some reason? Hello? Trådfri smart home stuff and smart speakers.

How does this video have so little views?!?!? Thisbis thr biggest f-ing news in a to long!

What a nightmare and invasion of privacy i can do without. The more smarts u have the less secure your home and privacy will be. Don't trust them one bit.

Not before wifi7 we Will get a well connected Home until then it does not Matter

great for couch potatoes I have a smart person in my home !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i like my dumb home thank you

When you look at the what companies are in zigbee alliance and with the matter you see that those are same companies. Not very promising. Btw ikea is making smart home devices. I have smart bulbs and switches and that terrible ikea hub which is lacking so many features but is only hub which you can use to update ikea devices.

Cool. Is Tesla on board?????

Orwellian. The goal is to collect data. Talking across platforms is a necessary step to achieve more individual data acquisition. The consumer does not own or control the data generated.

Chef Boyardee

Good step in the right direction. I’m going away from the Echo ecosystem and go with Apple and this would amazing

first three minutes dragged on in introducing what it is and its purpose. could have summed that up in a few sentences... saving 3 minutes.

Maybe amazon and google, but apple will never do this, they’re too proud

Screw this team-up bull. What we need are federal standards. These communication languages need to get up to the basic standards of wall outlets. Apple's already getting in trouble for their constant changing of their chargers, and we need to spread that to all methods that electronics interact.

Good step in right direction

Why do you have compare it to a movie a franchise? Good grief you really have to work on your journalism.

Thread just came out basically and Apple invested thread chips on their new devices… I don’t really see this taking off… I’ll believe it when I see it.

😘😘😘❤️
