NEW
YORK, Oct. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tuya Smart (NYSE: TUYA, HKEX: 2391), a global
IoT developer service provider, has been committed to advancing the
adoption of Matter standards in the industry, helping customers to
reduce the cost of receiving Matter certification for devices and
shorten product launch times, to seize new opportunities in smart
business.
The Connectivity Standards Alliance officially released Matter
1.2 on October 23, 2023. The update
adds support for nine new types of connectivity devices, and makes
important improvements to the existing technical specifications,
SDKs, certification policies, and testing tools.
As a pioneer in promoting Matter, Tuya has showcased its
full-stack solutions for Matter at several well-known industry
events, including CES, MWC, IFA, and the Hong Kong Electronics Fair
(Autumn Edition). Tuya was also invited by ecosystem partners to
show its full-stack solutions for Matter at marketing events
including AWS Summit, Google I/O, Google Smart Home Summit, among
others. It also joined the Connectivity Standards Alliance Boston
Member Meeting, and the Samsung Developer Conference. Meanwhile,
Tuya, as a member of the Connectivity Standards Alliance's China
Member Group, also participated in the Matter Interoperability Wall
Program, and presented at the Guangzhou International Lighting
2023.
Matter 1.2 officially released
Tuya Continues to
Expand Matter Product Categories
The newly released Matter 1.2 adds support for nine new types of
devices, including refrigerators, room air conditioners,
dishwashers, washing machines, floor sweepers, smoke and CO alarms,
air quality sensors, air purifiers, and fans. Additionally, Matter
1.2 features important improvements to its testing and
certification program, such as the addition of new chip platform
support to the SDK, enhancements to the Matter testing tool, and
other functionality improvements that will help companies shorten
product launch times.
With Matter 1.2, Tuya continues to improve its full-stack
solutions for Matter, helping customers expand their Matter
smart home product portfolios. As of October
5, Tuya has obtained 217 Matter certificates, covering five
main categories: electronics, lighting, sensors, gateway, and home
appliances. The launched hardware solutions cover a number of smart
home categories: light bulbs, light strips, switches, gateways,
sockets, sensing, curtains, thermostats, and others.
In July, Tuya Smart became one of
the few businesses in the world to offer both full-stack solutions
for Matter and Matter Non-VID Scoped PAA certificates that are
recognized by the Alliance. This enabled Tuya to help more than
846,000 global developers in its ecosystem to complete the security
certification of Matter devices in a highly efficient and
cost-effective way.
Last month, Tuya also participated in the test of Matter 1.2 SVE
including Matter over Thread Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms, and
Matter over Thread Air Quality Sensors. With the release of Matter
1.2, the two new tested product solutions will soon be
available.
In addition, Tuya is also actively involved in the upgrading and
iteration of the Matter TV standard, aiming to ensure that the
Tuya-enabled center control panel's features align with the next
standard. It is reported that the Matter TV standard with
Tuya-enabled center control screen capabilities is expected to be
officially released next spring.
Tuya is further strengthening its relationship with ecosystem
partners to advance the application of Matter in various spheres.
In response to Amazon's introduction of Matter Simple Setup (MSS),
Tuya has launched its solutions for MSS and finished MSS testing
for Tuya-enabled Wi-Fi and Thread devices. Meanwhile, customers are
further enabled by Tuya in accordance with the Commissionable
Endpoint functionality from Amazon. After adding the device,
end-users can use the Tuya-enabled App to immediately synchronize
Matter devices to the local system. Thus, end-users can use Amazon
Echo speakers to achieve local control of Matter devices even when
there is no network connection.
Lower the Barrier to Receive Matter
Certification
Enable Customers to Build Differentiated
Competitive Strengths
As the Alliance's highest-level member, Tuya possesses several
qualifications, including Matter product compliance certificate
transfer, similarity certification, and new certification, among
others. That is to say, all products created using Tuya's Solutions
for Matter can be certified quickly and affordably through Tuya's
certificate transfer, significantly reducing the time required for
certification.
MOMAX SMART, a leading AIoT and consumer electronics brand,
recently developed the Matter Gateway and Matter LED through Tuya's
full-stack solutions for Matter and obtained the Alliance's Matter
certification. With Tuya's support, MOMAX SMART received
certification within thirteen business days and became the first
Hong Kong brand to enter the Matter ecosystem.
Meanwhile, relying on the Tuya developer platform, MOMAX also
achieved interconnection with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple
Home, and other mainstream ecosystems, which provides a boost to
the layout of MOMAX in overseas markets. Currently, MOMAX has won a
good reputation in Hong Kong and
Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and Europe. John
Cheng, CEO of MOMAX SMART, said that in the future, he hopes
to develop more Matter devices and work with Tuya to promote the
penetration of Matter in the smart home industry.
Matter's continuous upgrading will accelerate the breaking down
of ecosystem barriers and further tackle the problem of smart home
fragmentation for both upstream and downstream businesses in the
smart home market. In the future, Tuya will continue to promote the
development of Matter devices, design, test, and validation of
Matter, and facilitate the adoption of Matter in the global
market.
