Overview of Matter connectivity standard

Matter

Watch our demonstration of the new Matter standard, formerly known as Project Connected Home over IP (CHIP), based on our SimpleLink™ wireless MCU platform. Matter provides a single, unified connectivity standard to connect compatible devices and systems to one another. This unified application layer allows manufactures to accelerate their development and provide consumers with improved compatibility across IoT smart devices. TI supports all Thread-based topologies for Matter accessories.
