SMARTTHINGS BOSS STILL HOPING FOR A MATTER UTOPIA

Interviewed for a piece by Paul Lamkin in The Ambient on how Matter adoption is going for the smart home industry, and what things need to happen in order for it to become widely recognized and used by everyday consumers.

“Matter is great step for the industry, but it is a monumental kind of change that doesn’t happen overnight,” Benson told us.

“The idea of Matter is that products are compatible by design, and that consumers will have high confidence that they are going to work with their Matter based setup,” explained Benson.
