Matter is an emerging standard for communications among smart home, or IoT, devices that promises to make smart devices work with each other regardless of which company manufactures them, that smart home devices will continue to be usable on your home network even when no connection to the internet is available, and that communications with smart home devices are secure. The Matter standard is being managed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), the same group which also developed the Zigbee family of smart home protocols.

Matter is proprietary, by certification. Its code and documentation are published under the Apache License.

The Matter 1.0 standard consists of the following copyrighted documents which were approved in September of 2022 and are downloadable from the CSA website:

  • Matter 1.0 Core Specification (899 pp)
  • Matter 1.0 Device Library Specification (89 pp)
  • Matter 1.0 Application Cluster Specification (359 pp)
