It was at its annual Samsung Developer Conference that Samsung announced Matter will allow Samsung’s Galaxy devices, TVs, and Family Hub appliances to have the most versatile connectivity options through SmartThings. Integrating SmartThings hub functionality into these devices will make it easier for users to experience the benefits of connected living without the need for a separate smart home hub, said Samsung.
Matter is a new standard for smart home IoT products that aims to enable seamless communication between different types and brands of devices.
