Tuya Smart, a leading IoT development platform service provider, today officially confirmed that it is support for Matter, a commitment to ensure that Tuya's customers and business partners can seamlessly participate in the new smart home connectivity standard and provide users with a more comfortable smart home experience.

Tuya customers and other brands such as Calex and Geeni are all planning to launch new ranges of consumer products that will also support the Matter standard in 2022, when the new communications protocol finally takes off.

Introduced by Amazon, Apple, Google, Comcastand the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA, formerly the Zigbee Alliance), Matter aims to provide a unified smart home standard to enable interoperability between devices and smart home platforms.

As a member of CSA's board of directors and one of the early members of the Matter Working Group, Tuya has expanded its commitment to promoting universal open standards that enable IoT products to connect and communicate securely, providing technical support to the working group and working closely with key platform partners to ensure that devices Tuya supports work with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit and Samsung Smarthings.

We reviewed a product that, while already HomeKit-compatible, actually uses Tuya as the backbone of its working structure, adding HomeKit-compatible devices using this hub to the Tuya Smart app before exposing them to HomeKit. This hub is already capable of adding many Tuya certified devices that support HomeKit to it, so with Matter certified devices that are HomeKit compatible, the number of devices that will work with HomeKit will increase significantly.

With More than 446,000 registered developers and more than 1,100 product categories in the Tuya ecosystem, Tuya's support for Matter will not only enable its ecosystem partners to be among the first companies to release Matter-compatible devices once the standard is officially launched, but will also provide consumers with a wider range of Matter-compatible smart home solutions.

By adding support for Matter, Tuya continues its efforts to ensure more connections between more devices and increase compatibility for consumers. Together with other partners from various industries, Tuya is committed to continuous innovation and transforming the future of connectivity.
