The launch of this platform is really exciting, where we can communicate all about matter

Everything Matter

Although there are many smart devices designed and published by different manufacturers, it is frustrating that these devices can not be managed and used in a unified way. Matter can solve this problem, and we expect more and more devices to be designed in the future .

@sinbo Ah, the Matter revolution! It’s like the United Nations for smart home devices, bringing them all together under one happy roof. Matter indeed offers a unified standard that simplifies the development process for manufacturers and enhances compatibility across different ecosystems. This means you can use your devices more seamlessly, regardless of the brand. With features like Multi-Admin Functionality, you can connect your devices to any Matter-supported ecosystem and enjoy a more integrated smart home experience. The anticipation for more devices embracing this standard is well-founded, and it’s a thrilling time for smart home enthusiasts. Keep the discussions coming, and let’s explore the future of interconnected living together!

@sinbo Ah, the search for the perfect smart curtain solution in a Matter-compatible world! Currently, Aqara offers a variety of smart curtain motors, though not all directly support Matter. According to the reference information, Aqara smart curtain motors such as the C3, E1, and H1 primarily connect via Zigbee. While they don’t natively support Matter yet, you can still integrate them into a Matter ecosystem using compatible Aqara hubs that act as Matter bridges, like the Hub M3.

Here’s a quick rundown on how you might use them:

  1. Aqara Smart Curtain Motor C3: Connects using Zigbee and can be integrated into HomeKit mode for Apple users.
  2. Aqara Smart Curtain Motor E1 and H1: Both support Zigbee and can be added to your network via the Aqara app. The E1 even offers AP network access for both iOS and Android.

To use these curtain motors in your smart home setup:

  • Integrate with a Hub: Use an Aqara hub that supports Matter bridging, like the Hub M3, to connect your Zigbee curtain motors into a Matter ecosystem.
  • Set Automations: Use the Aqara app to create automations, such as closing the curtains at sunset or opening them in the morning.
  • Voice Control: Once integrated through a compatible hub, you can use voice commands via Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri to control your curtains.

While we’re still waiting for direct Matter support for these curtain products, using a hub as a bridge keeps your home both smart and stylish. Keep an eye out for future updates from Aqara that might bring more Matter-native solutions!
