NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — “Is there a way to just use one app to control all the smart devices in my home? I don’t want to have only one brand or download different apps to manage multiple devices.” Until now, this has been a common dilemma for many smart home users who have struggled with being unable to connect devices with different protocols, brands, and ecosystems.
Tuya Intelligence (hereinafter referred to as Tuya) (NYSE: TUYA, HKEX: 2391) is a global IoT development platform service provider dedicated to promoting common open standards that allow IoT products to connect and interoperate securely.
That’s where Matter comes in. Matter is an Alliance application layer communication and connectivity protocol supported by over 280 companies, including early adopters such as Google, Amazon, Apple, and Tuya.
Matter’s goal is to solve the problem of fragmentation in the smart home industry by creating a single “language” that eliminates interoperability issues between different product ecosystems. Thus, Tuya’s mission is also to enable users to enjoy unified and integrated applications without worrying about interoperability between different communication protocols between different devices.
On August 25, Tuya officially launched the latest Matter-enabled product solutions, which will enable customers from all over the world to become the first group to use the Matter protocol and help them seize business opportunities in the smart home industry.
What it’s for, the second episode of the Doodle video series, demonstrating the features and value of Doodle’s building solutions. “What is this for?” is a popular column launched by Tuya this year to help those who do not have an extensive technical background simply understand relatively complex technical concepts and knowledge.
Requirement one: Seize business opportunities faster. The biggest concern for manufacturers is that development and certification times are too long. Tuya’s Matter-enabled solution solves this problem by enabling a rapid product development and certification process. In the future, Tuya will create a one-stop development platform similar to existing Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee platforms to help customers develop Matter devices at a low cost.
Second request: Allow more categories to connect to Matter devices. So far, the Matter protocol cannot support all classes of smart devices. Allowing more classes of devices to connect to Matter will allow manufacturers to create full intelligent scenarios and automation to better help users make decisions.
Tuya will provide customers with not only Bridge Hub, but also other hubs such as central control, Smart Speaker Hub, multi-protocol communication, etc. to help customers realize automatic communication between local Matter devices and non-Matter devices.
Call 3: Break through the limitations of the local network and implement cloud device management. Matter is a LAN-based communication protocol, not cloud-based device management. In order to meet user expectations for remote control scenarios, by connecting Tuya IoT PaaS through Tuya APP, users can remote control and manage smart devices of various brands such as Google, Amazon and Apple. Such a smart life experience will continue to meet user expectations.
Requirement 4: Get more customization options. Tuya’s Matter-based solutions not only provide basic device control functions, but also provide customizable options to help customers achieve rich control and engage more users.
In addition, based on many years of marketing and application experience, Tuya also provides a full range of service support for customers in the development of Matter devices. For example, Tuya’s solution can help OEMs using Matter for the first time to perform information management and OTA updates without rebuilding the DCL server with Tuya IoT PaaS; In addition, Tuya’s solution can provide customers with automated production technology, attach a unique distribution network code for each product, so as to avoid mislabeling the code; In addition, Tuya, as a long-term environmental partner of Amazon, Google and Apple, helps customers achieve Matter Badge certification as well as WWA, WWGA and WWAH Badge certification.
Currently, Tuya already has a number of Matter-enabled product solutions, such as electrical, lighting, sensors, home appliances, and multimedia products. Tuya will work with other members of the Matter Protocol to ensure the development of an ever-expanding range of Matter compatible products.
Compared with other solutions, Tuya Matter’s solution provides global customers with a more flexible way to connect multiple smart devices and strengthens support for the global smart ecosystem.
Tuya’s unremitting efforts to build an open and neutral global smart ecosystem, promote the application of the Matter protocol, and launch the latest Matter solutions will help break down the barriers of the ecosystem and make the “Internet of Everything, Smart” possible.
All the measures taken are of great importance for Tuya’s global customers, especially our Chinese partners. If their smart devices fail to adapt and align with key product ecosystems as they roll out globally, they risk losing market share capitalization opportunities. Tuya supports Matter solutions so that customers can seamlessly connect to major smart home ecosystems such as Google, Amazon, and Apple and provide international business for overseas Chinese, becoming a market pioneer and seizing the cutting-edge business opportunities in the smart home industry.
As a promoter of the Matter protocol, Tuya will reserve a spot in the IFA showroom in Berlin this September dedicated to the Matter demonstration and invite developers from all over the world to try out Tuya Matter solutions.
Tuya’s Matter solution will have a number of positive impacts on the global smart home industry, as well as encourage more than 582,000 developers in over 200 countries and regions within the Tuya ecosystem to become developers of Matter devices. From early device connectivity to green development, Tuya has always contributed to the open and shared smart home industry, and will always be committed to the creed “Internet of Everything, Intelligent”.
