The official open-source SDK for Matter (formerly Project CHIP), the Connectivity Standards Alliance's IP-based smart home connectivity standard. It provides the data model, networking, security, and commissioning layers needed to build interoperable Matter devices and controllers across many chip platforms.

Use cases

  • build a Matter-certified smart home device
  • implement a Matter controller or commissioner app
  • add Matter support to an ESP32 or embedded firmware
  • develop a Thread or Wi-Fi connected home accessory
  • test interoperability between Matter devices
  • port the Matter stack to a new SoC platform

When to choose

  • you are building or certifying a Matter end device or controller
  • you need the reference implementation maintained by the CSA
  • you target supported platforms like ESP32, Nordic, Silicon Labs, TI, or Linux

When to avoid

  • you need Zigbee, Z-Wave, or other non-Matter protocols
  • you want a high-level consumer smart home app rather than device SDK work
  • your platform is not among the supported chip vendors
