          How to Start with Matter Development?

          With Silicon Labs, you can already start prototyping with Matter today. We provide you with hardware, software, and several examples for using Matter for smart locks, smart lights, window coverings, and more. The complete package simplifies the development experience so that you can focus on innovating! Follow the three-step process to get started with Matter!


          Step 1: Choose your Wireless IP Networking Protocol (Wi-Fi or Thread)

          Which protocol should you choose, Wi-Fi or Thread? If your Matter application requires efficient mesh networking with energy-efficient and robust wireless connectivity, then Thread is the optimal choice for you. If you are not power-limited and want to maximize connectivity in the marketplace, Wi-Fi is the well-known universal standard for wireless connectivity in Matter.

          Step 1 A: How to Start Developing with Thread?

          • Choose a Thread certified SoC, module, or radio board for end nodes. Matter uses Bluetooth Low Energy incommissioning, so ensure your hardware of choice also supports Bluetooth. 
          • Get a hardware board for the Thread border router — such as Raspberry Pi or BeagleBoard to run the Matter border router to establish the Thread network.
          • Select a radio co-processor (RCP) compatible SoC or module — the RCP takes care of the wireless communications operated by the border route
          • Check Silicon Labs’ Matter compliant Thread SoCs and modules to choose the optimal hardware for you.

          Step 1 B: How to Start Developing with Wi-Fi?

          • Choose a certified Wi-Fi SoC or module for end nodes
          • Get a host processor capable of connecting to the Wi-Fi transceiver over the SPI or UART interface.
          • Silicon Labs offers the WF200 Wi-Fi transceiver SoC or module for Matter developers.

          Step 2: Set up your software development environment for Matter

          When you have all the needed hardware in place, you can start setting up the software development environment. Follow these steps:

          • Use a desktop or laptop with a Linux development environment. 
          • Use an Android phone (iOS app is underway) for end-node commissioning via Bluetooth.
          • Set up your Android commissioning app.
          • Set up your Matter environment (Python, GN, and Ninja Linux Libraries.) You can find more detailed instructions on GitHub.
          • Clone the Matter repo from GitHub and update and sync all the submodules. 
           

          Step 3: Run your first code example.

          Now that you have all of the software environment and the hardware you need, it is time to run code examples. The complete list of Matter code examples can be found on the GitHub repository including tools for testing your Matter project. Code examples provide step-by-step instructions to get you to the point of successfully running code on your Matter network. Some examples provide a simple script that will execute everything for you.

          Here are quick links to three popular Matter examples on GitHub:

          • Light Switch
          • Door Lock
          • Window Covering
          Congratulations! You are ready to get to work on your first Matter prototype.

          overview

          What is the Matter protocol?

          The Matter protocol leverages existing IP technologies including Wi-Fi and Thread to build a unified wireless connectivity ecosystem for smart homes. IP-based networking provides manufacturers with simplified development while improving device compatibility for consumers.  

          Motivated by the belief that connected experiences should become more reliable, secure, and work effectively together, the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) has launched Matter (formerly known as Connected Home over IP project). Matter comes in as a unified application layer, a uniting language for devices operating under different IP protocols to communicate over and across different platforms and harmonize IoT development paths.

          Matter makes it easier for device manufacturers to build devices that are compatible with smart home and voice services such as Amazon’s Alexa, Apple® Siri®, Google Assistant™, and others. The first specification release of the Matter protocol will run on Wi-Fi and Thread network layers and will use Bluetooth Low Energy for commissioning.

          Benefits

          Benefits of Matter

          The Matter protocol is built upon IP, so its traffic flows seamlessly across various kinds of networks. Matter uses a common application layer and data model that delivers interoperability between devices allowing them to communicate with each other. Consequently, IP proves to be an ideal way to securely deliver end-to-end communication between a device and another device, app, or service.

          Matter builds in defenses against a wide variety of threats. Matter’s security architecture is based on best practices such as “security by design” and “zero trust”. As part of this, Matter builds in security measures so that every message is protected.

          On top of supporting IP networks within Matter, developers can leverage Silicon Labs' broad IoT wireless expertise that spans building automation, smart home, industrial IoT, and smart markets to connect a wide range of networks and devices—regardless of the underlying network protocol.
