#1 Panel: Matter:
Ecosystem
Alex Yang, Co-Founder and COO of
Tuya Smart, hosted the first panel
discussion on Matter's ecosystem. Speakers shared how ecosystem
players can promote Matter via partnership.
Chris Lapre, Head of Technology
of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (the Alliance), said, "The
continuous evolution and upgrading of Matter, the expansion of its
application scenarios and new markets are contributed from the
collaboration of the Alliance members including smart device
manufacturers, security certification enterprises and others.
Building and maintaining the Matter ecosystem is also key to the
development of Matter. Alliance members like Tuya, play an active
and crucial role in the promotion and application of Matter. They
will attract more customers to join the Matter ecosystem and
innovate Matter from customers' feedback through a variety of
real-world implementations."
Rob Alexander, Principal Product
Manager of Silicon Labs said, "The market for smart, connected
devices holds unprecedented opportunity, but challenges remain.
Open standards, like Matter, can help everyone in the industry
adopt the same protocols without expensive licensing. Tuya's role
is important for global developers. Tuya chose Silicon Labs MG24
SoC as one of the chips, jointly enable customers to quickly get
mass production of Matter devices and support consumers to mix and
match among ecosystems like some of the ones you'll see today
including Amazon, Apple, Google, Samsung, and the countless
intelligent, connected devices from locks to lightbulbs and
beyond."
Kevin Po, Group Product Manager
at Google, shared with audiences their recent product updates to
support Matter. Now, consumers can use existing Nest devices like
the Nest Mini and Nest Hub to control Matter devices, and use
Android Fast Pair to setup Matter devices. Moreover, Google will
Matter-enable more Nest devices in 2023 and release Google Home App
iOS support too. Tuya has been an early access partner with Google
Home and will continue working together to grow the Matter vision
of interoperability, choice and openness in the home with users and
Tuya's partner ecosystem.
"If smart devices are to scale, it's crucial that they are
secure, reliable and seamless to use," said Chloe Ma, VP of China GTM, IoT Line of Business
at Arm. "Standardization will drive the advancement of IoT and we
are working closely with the Alliance and partners such as Tuya, to
ensure the Arm ecosystem is ready to support developers in building
Matter-compliant devices."
2# Panel: Matter:
Commercialization
Later in the day, Tina Yu,
General Manager of Eurasia and North
America of Tuya Smart, hosted
the second panel discussion on the commercialization of Matter.
Speakers shared their thoughts on the future application scenarios
of Matter devices. They also talked about the future of intelligent
interconnection of consumer electronics.
Jon Harros, Head of Certification
and Testing Programs at the Connectivity Standard Alliance first
described the blueprint of Matter in 2023, and said, "People can
reach the Alliances' official website, and see there are more than
500 products listed that are either being certified or have been
certified by the Alliance. These include a range of products,
software components, apps and more. They constitute our 'universe'
of Matter applications. As an early participant of Matter, Tuya has
been actively promoting the use and implementation of Matter. Its
Tuya-enabled hardware ecosystem and development platform will
enable more manufacturers to quickly penetrate the smart home and
smart device markets, and attract consumers."
Justin Miller, Founder and CEO of
CLEANLIFE, said: "Since our collaboration with Tuya in 2017, Tuya
continuously supports us with product development, and they always
share us with new ideas and opportunities. This mutual partnership
has been extremely beneficial in helping us become an industry
leader in smart lighting. Now, Matter gives our brand and products
more credibility to be able to work with the prominent brands that
are a part of the Alliance through shared interoperability and also
allow easier integration with mainstream smart device systems such
as Apple Home, Samsung Smart Things, etc. And with Tuya's help, we
strongly believe that we can easily and quickly pivot our plans to
Matter compatible. We expect Matter to help expedite the path to
market and enhance user experience for the whole industry and
provide a platform for all 220+ brands in the Alliance to succeed
together."
Ryan Maurice, CEO of BARDI, said,
"Thanks to our collaboration with Tuya, BARDI has grown very fast.
We are at equal playing grounds with other Tuya-enabled brands in
Indonesia thus being able to focus
on competing in quality of product and service. While Matter joined
in, it unlocks the pool of opportunity for BARDI as now the
competition is not only on our quality of product and service but
also competition on the platform supporting us. Compared with other
local brands, our Tuya-enabled devices have a faster response time
to voice commands than other platform-enabled devices. Moreover,
the accuracy and speed that Tuya's engineering team delivered to us
are praiseworthy. Thus, I believe that with Matter's adoption,
BARDI will gain much more opportunities to penetrate local
families. "
Juergen Hirschbeck, Head of Smart
Home Product Portfolio Management of Hama, said, "Happily our
company will celebrate its 100th anniversary this year. As the No.
1 brand for accessories and becoming the leading brand of retrofit
Smart Home in Europe, the adoption
of Matter will play a central role in our future. We plan to expand
more categories such as home security and climate control, improve
the compatibility of our product portfolio, and realize seamless
smart scene connection for consumers. The significance of our
collaboration with Tuya is that we can quickly realize our
approximately 18,000 products to be Matter-capable to meet the
expectations of consumers as soon as possible and to place Matter
as the One Smart Home Standard of the future in the heads of
consumers and trade-partners alike. "
Alessandro Kon, Head of R&D
of Lloyd's, said: "Lloyd's has more than 20 years of experience in
the electronics and smart house market. We offer our clients a wide
range of solutions for their security, lighting, comfort, or energy
through our website and our retail partners. Matter is bringing
more opportunities to the smart home market, it allows customers to
not have to think about compatibility when it comes to making a
choice, they can focus on their demands as well as we can also just
focus on developing products that cover our customers' needs.
Through the Tuya IoT development platform, we developed our App
'Lloyd's smart'. Now, Tuya's latest achievements of Matter make us
see the possibility of quickly integrating into the Matter
ecosystem. We will continue to deepen our collaboration with Tuya
and accelerate Matter application process in the market."
So far, Tuya has launched more than six categories of Matter
device solutions, including light bulbs, switches, gateways,
sockets, and more. And Tuya has already helped its global customers
such as Arlec, BARDI, CALEX, CLEANLIFE, Hama, Intcomex, Laser,
LinkJapan, Lloyd's, Mirabella, Positivo, Simon Electric, Tecnolite
and many other enterprises to integrate into Matter ecosystem
rapidly.
In the future, Tuya will continue fulfilling its commitment to
building an open and neutral IoT ecosystem to provide customized,
convenient and reliable Matter devices' solutions and all-in-one
services for global partners, strengthen its cooperation with
Connectivity Standard Alliance members and provide more operational
smart scenes for consumers.
