Security Sales & Integration November 2022 - 45

manufacturers continue to work at simplifying
integration as they understand that integration
increases their products' benefits, and
that complexity inhibits dealers from adopting
a product brand or category.
Compatibility among products, the ability
for products to interoperate, is critical to
realizing the full benefits of these devices.
Interoperability also provides an opportunity
for evermore differentiation to dealers and
manufacturers.
To tackle compatibility issues, Amazon, Apple,
Google, Samsung and other companies
came together through the Connectivity Standards
Alliance (CSA), an IoT-focused organization,
to create a new connectivity standard
for smart home devices. This standards effort
to provide interoperability among devices,
dubbed Matter, has finally just been approved.

If it is successful, always a challenge for standards,
it promises to be a major step forward
to actualizing the " smart house. "
Today, there is no single answer to, " What is
a smart home? " There are smart devices, smart
subsystems, and integration across these categories.
However, the degree of smartness and
integration varies. Security dealers are just
now becoming aware of Matter. During the
past two years, only between 20% and 40%
of responding dealers reported any familiarity
with the effort. This is an important initiative
for dealers to track. SSI

Dallas-based Parks Associates.
