Here’s a roundup of what the company announced for developers and gadget-makers.
Frustration Free Setup
Amazon launchedFrustration Free Setupin 2018.
It’s a feature that makes getting your smart home devices up and running a quick, streamlined experience.
WhenAmazon discussed Matterat Alexa Live last year, it promised to bring this feature to Matter-compatible devices.
Today,Amazon announcedthat the documentation unit-makers need to make this happen is now available.
That’s the key idea behind the Matter concept.
Today, Amazon announced what it calls “Commissionable Endpoint Alexa” capability.
That’s a key part of setting up Alexa to control other devices across platforms and systems.
This helps devices function even when there’s a connectivity issue.
The Matter protocol is still a bit vague and veiled in mystery and developer-heavy language.
