Designed around interoperability and platform independence, making it easy for everyone to control their accessories using any device they choose: The future of the smart home is called Matter.

Matter talks Thread.
Matter devices can communicate via Thread, Wi-Fi, or bridges. Choosing Thread makes your smart home network more responsive, robust, and increases its reach – which is why Eve is embracing Thread and enhancing all Bluetooth accessories to include Thread technology.
Future-proof with Eve.
Eve has already built the world’s largest portfolio of Thread-enabled accessories – so if you purchase a Thread-enabled Eve accessory today, it is already ready to be updated to Matter. Matter is scheduled to be available on all platforms mid-2022. Discover Eve accessories supporting Thread

"The idea is it will be easier for consumers to identify devices that will work within their smart home ecosystem; whether that be Alexa, HomeKit, Google’s Assistant, SmartThings, or any others who join the party. For example, a HomeKit only brand such as Eve would never be compatible with SmartThings... but Matter will make that possible."
"Matter's promise is that consumers won't have to wonder whether different brands of smart home devices will play nicely with each other; that has always seemed like the right outcome for the smart home, and it seems closer to reality than ever.”
"Eve (...) has previously only worked with Apple’s HomeKit, but with Matter, its products will be able to connect to Alexa and other smart home ecosystems."
"Its ultimate function is to standardize how gadgets identify themselves and what they can do together, essentially taking the heavy lifting off of you to set it all up."
When will Matter be available?
Matter is scheduled to be available on all platforms mid-2022. Eve will be among the first to support this standard on a wide range of accessories. Subscribe to our newsletter to be among the first to learn when it’s all going to happen.
Do I need to buy a whole bunch of new accessories?
Once Matter is launched, all Thread-enabled Eve accessories will receive free firmware updates so you can use them with Matter. This overview tells you which Eve accessories are already Thread-enabled – so you can start kitting out your smart home of the future right away.
What has Thread got to do with Matter?
Apart from unpractical bridges, there are two direct connection technologies that your smart home accessories can use to support Matter: Wi-Fi and Thread. Thread offers several advantages over Wi-Fi, including robust mesh technology and incredible energy efficiency. Learn more about the advantages of Thread here.
What’s the difference between HomeKit and Matter?
Matter is a new smart home protocol developed jointly by Amazon, Apple, Google, and many other manufacturers to eliminate incompatibilities in the smart home once and for all. The protocol incorporates many benefits of HomeKit, including an ultra-secure and completely local infrastructure – all without the need for an internet connection. If HomeKit impressed you, you'll be thrilled about Matter.
What’s going to happen with my HomeKit accessories?
Any HomeKit accessories you own will continue to work as usual. You’ll be able to use them in the Home and Eve apps without any restrictions – Matter-enabled accessories will simply join them on an equal footing with HomeKit accessories. If you’re already using Thread-enabled Eve accessories, a free firmware update will upgrade them automatically to Matter-enabled accessories. You’ll then be able to use them with other platforms, including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Samsung SmartThings.
