De Matter-standaard is inmiddels al een tijdje geleden officieel gelanceerd en wordt door verschillende platformen ondersteund. Zo kun je momenteel al Matter-apparaten koppelen aan onder meer Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Homey Pro en Home Assistant. De ontwikkeling van de smarthomestandaard staat echter niet stil. Deze week is versie 1.2 uitgebracht.
Met Matter 1.2 worden er nog meer apparaten aan de standaard toegevoegd, waardoor het nog eenvoudiger moet worden om je hele huis met één platform of app aan te sturen. Versie 1.2 voegt negen nieuwe apparaten met ieder hun eigen mogelijkheden toe. Het gaat om koelkasten, airco’s, vaatwassers, wasmachines, robotstofzuigers, rookmelders, luchtkwaliteitssensors, luchtreinigers en ventilators.
Dit betekent echter nog niet dat alle platformen en hubs die Matter ondersteunen ook meteen ondersteuning voor deze apparaten bieden. Het is aan de ontwikkelaars achter deze platformen en hubs om versie 1.2 te integreren en aan de fabrikanten van apparaten om versie 1.2 in hun apparaten te integreren.

Ondersteuning nieuwe apparaten Matter 1.2
-
Refrigerators – Beyond basic temperature control and monitoring, this device type is also applicable to other related devices like deep freezers and even wine and kimchi fridges.
-
Room Air Conditioners – While HVAC and thermostats were already part of Matter 1.0, stand alone Room Air Conditioners with temperature and fan mode control are now supported.
-
Dishwashers – Basic functionality is included, like remote start and progress notifications. Dishwasher alarms are also supported, covering operational errors such as water supply and drain, temperature, and door lock errors.
-
Laundry Washers – Progress notifications, such as cycle completion, can be sent via Matter. Dryers will be supported in a future Matter release.
-
Robotic Vacuums – Beyond the basic features like remote start and progress notifications, there is support for key features like cleaning modes (dry vacuum vs wet mopping) and additional status details (brush status, error reporting, charging status).
-
Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarms – These alarms will support notifications and audio and visual alarm signaling. Additionally, there is support for alerts about battery status and end-of-life notifications. These alarms also support self-testing. Carbon monoxide alarms support concentration sensing, as an additional data point.
-
Air Quality Sensors – Supported sensors can capture and report on: PM1, PM 2.5, PM 10, CO2, NO2, VOC, CO, Ozone, Radon, and Formaldehyde. Furthermore, the addition of the Air Quality Cluster enables Matter devices to provide AQI information based on the device’s location.
-
Air Purifiers – Purifiers utilize the Air Quality Sensor device type to provide sensing information and also include functionality from other device types like Fans (required) and Thermostats (optional). Air purifiers also include consumable resource monitoring, enabling notifications on filter status (both HEPA and activated carbon filters are supported in 1.2).
-
Fans –Matter 1.2 includes support for fans as a separate, certifiable device type. Fans now support movements like rock/oscillation and new modes like natural wind and sleep wind. Additional enhancements include the ability to change the airflow direction (forward and reverse) and step commands to change the speed of airflow.
