BIG BUSINESS LAUNCH KIT UPDATE

Today’s update provides developers with another technology option to select from when building products and growing their businesses with Alexa. Last year, we published a story about Eve and our shared customer obsession, focus on innovation, and Eve’s excitement to work with Amazon to accelerate their business. That’s over 100 million Echo devices across 20 models already found in customer homes that can be updated to support Matter today!Įve teams up with Amazon to reach new customers and grow Regardless of the smart home protocol developers choose to build with, these customers are ready to connect and engage their smart home devices, without thinking about interoperability.

With our update today, customers can set up their Matter devices with iOS, including their Matter-enabled Thread devices. We enabled second generation Echo, Echo Plus, and Echo Dot devices to be updated as Matter controllers, plus Echo (4th Gen) as a Thread border router. That means, Echo (4th Gen) customers can now expand their smart homes with Matter-enabled Thread devices in addition to WiFi, Zigbee, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Mesh, and Matter-enabled WiFi devices. That’s why our customers have already connected over 300 million smart home devices to Alexa, making their lives more convenient, secure, and fun. Interoperability is and always has been at that heart of Alexa. Today, we’re excited to announce our latest Matter update for Alexa, the updated Works with Alexa (WWA) certification requirements for Matter devices, and share details about how Eve Systems uses Alexa to reach more customers and accelerate the growth of their business. Our vision for the ambient home is one that just works with multiple devices across different technologies and brands, all working together on behalf of the customer.
