Amazon announces a phased rollout of Matter to its Alexa smart home platform
Amazon’s latest smart speaker, the fifth-gen Echo Dot with Clock, will be a Matter controller next month.Amazon will start its Matter journey slowly, bringing support for theto 17 Echo devices in December. But this first rollout will only be Matter over Wi-Fi , compatible only with Android phones, and cover just three device types: smart plugs, smart bulbs, and smart switches.
Marja Koopmans, Amazon’s director of Smart Home & Health, announced the company’s plans for rolling out Matter at a launch event in Amsterdam this week.“This is an effort unprecedented in scale and complexity. It’s a big deal, and we need to make sure it goes smoothly.” Here’s the list of Echo speakers that will become Matter controllers next month: Echo Dot , Echo Dot with Clock, Echo , Echo Dot , Echo Studio, Echo Show 8 , Echo Show 10 , Echo Show 5 , Echo Dot with Clock, Echo Dot with Clock, Echo Show 5, Echo , Echo Dot , Echo Input, Echo Flex, Echo Plus , Echo Show 8.
We are in a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation here, though, as hardware devices are starting to get updates, but we are still waiting on software support from some apps. Apple has added Matter support to its Home app and OS in iOS 16.1, as hasand Galaxy devices. We’re still waiting on Google and now Amazon for iOS. It’s my understanding that this should largely resolve itself in the next three to four months, by which point all the platforms will be on board with Matter and ready to go.
