In a significant development for smart home technology, Samsung’s SmartThings platform has become the first to integrate support for the latest Matter 1.5 standard. This move underscores Samsung’s commitment to enhancing smart home experiences. The Matter 1.5 update introduces compatibility with devices such as cameras, closures, and soil sensors, alongside improvements in energy management. By the end of the month, SmartThings will release an app update enabling users to incorporate Matter-supported cameras, doors, window blinds, and soil sensors into their smart home ecosystems. This update will enhance security camera features, offering event history, live video streaming, motion detection, pan-tilt-zoom controls, and two-way communication for Matter-compatible devices, marking a significant step forward in connected home technology.
Is SmartThings leading the way with Matter camera support?
