Matter 1.1 is here, and it’s not exciting

, it’s anything but easy to get a device paired to one platform working on another.

To be fair to the CSA, it's really the platforms that need to fix this. The problem is there is little to no incentive now that Matter has launched to make this process easy and straightforward. Currently, there are different flows for each platform, and although adding a Matter device is supposed to be as easy as scanning a QR code, it’s often unclearQR code you need. The Matter code on the device itself can only be used to pair it to one platform.

To make matters worse , when you go to each platform looking for instructions on how to pair your device to another platform, they either don’t address it or offer a helpful variation of the following statement: “Contact the support for that third-party service to get help with sharing Matter devices.” Try going through that loop and see where you get.

The CSA is the governing body here, and it needs to step up and deal with this problem rather than just leave it to each platform to handle. Maybe Matter 1.1 wasn’t the place to do that; bug fixes and tweaks are par for the course for a 1.1 rollout. But we need to see some improvement soon, or the other benefits of Matter that weseen — such as fast, local control, better security, and reliability — will get lost in the messiness of the current experience.

While there’s no news on what the next release will be called , the CSA has committed to twice-yearly updates, with the next one coming in fall of 2023. The CSA did say we can expect to see new features and new device types supported with that release, but then, they’ve said that before.
