Matter is a new smart home protocol that allows different devices to work together easily, regardless of the manufacturer. It's designed to simplify the smart home experience and maintaining security and privacy.
One of the favors of Matter is that it's an open standard, which means that any device manufacturer can use it. Matter is an initiative of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), and developed through collaboration amongst all the leaders of the IoT industry.
2. Device Roles in Matter Network
Smart homes utilize either Wi-Fi or Thread technologies to operate connected devices. Each device has a distinct role within the Matter network.

- End devices are connected objects serving a final application like lights or door locks.
- Router/Bridges objects such as gateways route data from an end device, transferring it from one protocol to another (Wi-Fi to Thread for example).
- Controllers are devices such as smartphones or tablets used to commission an end device into a Matter network through Bluetooth® Low Energy.
