What is Matter?
Before Matter, smart home devices from different brands didn’t work together. Each device needed its own app and hub, making your smart home setup complex and frustrating.
Matter was introduced as a "universal language" for all your smart home devices, regardless of their brand. It improves device compatibility, simplifies setup, enhances device security, and boosts connection reliability.

How Matter Simplifies Your Smart Home Setup
Works with All Major Assistants
Control your devices effortlessly through popular platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit.
A Unified Household with Multi-Admin
Matter's Multi-Admin feature empowers you to connect a single Matter device to multiple smart home platforms simultaneously.
If one family member prefers Alexa, another uses Google Assistant, and someone else favors HomeKit, each can connect and control Matter devices through their preferred assistant.
Reliable & Secure
You don’t need an internet connection for your Matter devices to work. Tapo Matter devices communicate with other certified devices in the local network (LAN).
Simplifies Setup
With features such as QR codes and easy-to-follow instructions, Matter makes adding new devices to your smart home quick and effortless.
