Matter

Matter is a new communication standard for IoT devices that allows devices from different manufacturers to communicate through third-party apps such as Google Home, Apple Home, and Amazon Alexa. Its goal is to simplify the smart home ecosystem by allowing internet-connected devices from different manufacturers to communicate seamlessly and securely. Matter promotes interoperability, meaning Matter-certified devices from different brands can easily work together without compatibility issues.

Matter Bridging

A Matter Bridge acts as an intermediary between non-Matter devices (using various communication protocols like Zigbee) and the Matter network. It allows non-Matter IoT devices to seamlessly integrate into a Matter ecosystem (Matter Fabric). The Bridge translates signals between Matter and other protocols, enabling Matter nodes to communicate with these Bridged Devices. By using a Matter Bridge, consumers can maintain compatibility and unify their existing non-Matter devices with Matter-certified ones in their smart home setup.

In this case, Wiser Hub 2nd Generation acts as the Matter Bridge. By adding the hub to a third-party Matter app (Google/Amazon/Apple etc.), you can integrate your Wiser Zigbee devices into the Matter Fabric (network) and control them from the third-party app.
