Matter 1.3 is here to help get your smart home energy usage under control

While there are several smart home devices that can help you reduce the impact of your carbon footprint, they can only help so much. Depending on how much you are using and managing these products, they may not be greatly benefiting you or your green efforts. Matter, the smart home standard, was created with these issues in mind. The standard, which is managed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), is designed to maintain interoperability between smart home devices. Now, the latest version has launched, promising even more management features than before.
