The new smart home standard Matter is immediately compatible with Android and Google Nest devices. Google has completed an initial rollout.

For almost three years, Google worked with over 300 companies on the new smart home standard. These also include Apple, Samsung and Amazon. Matter aims to improve the setup, control and security of smart home devices. Since many companies were involved in the development, the standard will also ensure good compatibility. All major corporations will support it sooner or later.

Google has updated billions of devices virtually overnight. Users do not have to do anything else, according to the Alphabet subsidiary. The devices have automatically joined the "Matter universe". Matter was released in version 1.0 at the beginning of October 2022.

I find my muse in everything. When I don’t, I draw inspiration from daydreaming. After all, if you dream, you don’t sleep through life.
