The Matter smart home standard, designed to connect and control all your smart home devices, is developing support for speakers. This would allow speakers to send alerts, notifications, and alarms, and play music from any Matter-enabled app regardless of the ecosystem or brand. However, it may be a while before these features are widely available.
Matter , the smart home standard designed to connect and control all your smart home devices, could soon support speakers. Chris LaPré, CTO of the Connectivity Standards Alliance , which runs Matter , confirmed to The Verge that “a new streaming speaker device type and related controls” is under development.
“Set what type of music plays in the morning when you wake up, what happens to your speaker when you leave the house, what happens to the audio when someone rings your doorbell.” Functions like these are available in smart home ecosystems today but are limited to proprietary software and hardware.
