"The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) is introducing Matter 1.5, its latest effort to remove interoperability woes. This update introduces Matter support for security cameras, enhanced energy management solutions, and integrations with more specialized devices, such as soil moisture sensors and garage openers."
"Adding Matter compatibility for security cameras with the 1.5 update means that your Matter cameras will work across brands and ecosystems, rather than forcing you into a single ecosystem. Matter-certified cameras will work with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or Samsung SmartThings, rather than with just one of these platforms."
"The Matter 1.5 update supports two-way talk, pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ), privacy zones, and multiple streams, and works regardless of whether you use local or cloud storage for your video history. Since Matter runs locally over Thread or Wi-Fi, you can also expect faster loading times for live feeds."
Matter 1.5 brings native support for security cameras, enabling two-way talk, pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ), privacy zones, multiple streams, and compatibility with local or cloud video storage. Matter-certified cameras will operate across Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings, avoiding vendor lock-in. Matter runs locally over Thread or Wi‑Fi, improving live-feed load times. The update consolidates closure devices — shades, blinds, awnings, shutters, gates, and garage doors — and supports motion types like slide, rotate, and lift for precise position reporting. Energy management features expand and integrations for specialized sensors increase device options and automation simplicity.
