Matter’s director of smart home, Marja Koopmans, believes this standard will simplify the development for a boatload of device manufacturers. The biggest hurdle right now is that a majority of smart home devices do not work as intended, creating tons of headaches for customers who head out or order these online. CSA aims to make all of these products reach a common ground and work reliably, though it will take some time. We are certain that the majority of hardware releases from giants like Apple should include a Matter badge on the packaging, so consumers are aware in advance that the smart home device will work in unison with all the other products they have installed.
