Build with Matter: What Does eWeLink App V5.0 Bring to Smart Home?
Table of Contents
In the ever-evolving landscape of smart home technology, compatibility and convenience are essential. The seamless integration of diverse smart devices, all controllable through a single, user-friendly interface, holds great importance. eWeLink smart home App V5.0 will unlock next-level convenience by introducing support for Matter – the new connectivity standard that promises to revolutionize smart home compatibility. For Android users, this smart home app can be readily obtained from the Google Play Store, while iOS users can download eWeLink App V5.0 from the App Store in late September.
What is Matter?
Matter is an open-source connectivity standard aimed at improving the compatibility and security of smart home and Internet of Things devices. The Matter standard is built on Internet Protocol (IP) and operates via one or more compliant border routers, eliminating the need for multiple proprietary hubs.
Matter is designed to standardize the way smart home devices communicate with each other and with various ecosystems, such as Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, eWeLink, Google Home, and more. Matter aims to create a unified standard for smart home devices, making it easier for devices from different manufacturers to work together seamlessly.
For example, you’ll be able to purchase a Matter-enabled smart bulb and pair it with Apple Homekit, Google Assistant, eWeLink app, or Amazon Alexa without worrying about compatibility.
What is Matter Hub?
A Matter hub is designed to make it easier for various brands and categories of smart gadgets to work together. By supporting the Matter standard, the Matter smart home hub ensures that devices from different manufacturers can be easily integrated and controlled via a single interface.
How will Matter Impact the Development of Smart Homes?
Matter is a new open-source standard that uses wireless technology based on Internet Protocol (IP), which Wi-Fi routers utilize to assign an IP address to each connected device. Matter’s heightened interoperability is poised to simplify the establishment and expansion of smart home ecosystems.
Over the years, an array of smart home wireless technologies has resulted in fragmentation within the industry. Matter’s mission is to obliterate this fragmentation by offering a standardized, open-source protocol.
Matter is projected to have a favorable impact on smart home development by enabling higher interoperability, security, and privacy, reducing fragmentation, and offering consumers more options. As Matter’s adoption in smart homes continues to grow, it possesses the potential to make smart home integrations more accessible, user-friendly, and robust, thereby elevating the overall smart home experience for consumers.
Why Does eWeLink Support Matter?
The incorporation of Matter support within the eWeLink App V5.0 is an exciting addition. This feature empowers users to effortlessly integrate new devices into their smart home network using a Matter-compatible platform like eWeLink, without the complexities associated with multiple proprietary hubs or intricate configuration procedures. By introducing a Matter smart home hub to the eWeLink App V5.0, users gain the capability to unify various brands of Matter devices within the eWeLink App, allowing for seamless control and management.
Driven by Matter, the eWeLink App V5.0 introduces a heightened level of versatility, security, and convenience to your smart home experience. As the eWeLink smart home ecosystem advances alongside the Matter protocol, you can anticipate a multitude of possibilities for crafting your ideal smart home environment. It’s time to embrace the future of smart living with the eWeLink App V5.0.
What Matter Devices Does the eWeLink App Currently Support?
Plugs and switches are available in eWeLink App V5.0 right now. In the future, we plan to expand the range of supported Matter devices.
Is a Matter Hub Required?
Indeed, a Matter hub is a prerequisite. Ensure your eWeLink account is linked to at least one Matter hub. Before adding a Matter device, connect a Matter hub like NSPanel Pro to the eWeLink app, ensuring it remains connected to the internet.
The integration of the Matter protocol within the eWeLink App V5.0 represents a significant milestone in the evolution of the smart home ecosystem. By embracing the Matter standard, we reaffirm our commitment to providing a seamless and interconnected smart home experience, granting users heightened convenience, control, and peace of mind.
