!!! Overview
[{$pagename}], formerly [Project Connected Home over IP] ([CHIP]), is a [Proposed Standard], [Royalty-free] [Home Automation] connectivity [standard]. 


Announced on December 18th, [2019|Year 2019], [{$pagename}] aims to reduce fragmentation across different vendors, and achieve interoperability among smart home devices and [Internet of Things] ([IoT]) platforms from different providers.

The project group was launched and introduced by [Amazon], [Apple], [Google],[2][3] [Comcast] and the [Zigbee Alliance], now [Connectivity Standards Alliance] ([CSA]). Subsequent members include IKEA, Huawei, Schneider, among others.[4][5] Matter-compatible products and software updates for existing products are expected to be released in 2022.[6] Although the Matter code repository is open-source under the Apache license, the Matter specification is licensed by CSA.[7]


[TCP-IP]-Based
[{$pagename}] makes it easier for device manufacturers to build devices that are compatible with [Smart Home] and voice services such as Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, Google’s Assistant, and others. The first specification release of the Matter protocol will run on Wi-Fi and Thread network layers and will use Bluetooth Low Energy for commissioning.
