HAS MATTER ACHIEVED INTEROPERABILITY? PANEL AT CES INTERROGATES THIS AND MORE

Quoted in a piece by Caitlin Gittons in IoT Insider about the state of smart home interoperability and the progress and challenges of the Matter standard in bringing companies and devices together in a way that makes it easier for consumers.

“The important thing is to continue focusing on quality and the simplicity of the user experience.” Mark Benson, Head of Samsung SmartThings

“There are so many different companies involved with Matter, and this is really important … to help guide where the standard goes in order for it to be successful in the long term … but that has come with challenges,” said Benson. “Every company that’s part of the Alliance has their own unique business situation, competitive dynamics, resource constraints, different development lifecycles.”
