NEW
YORK, June 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tuya Smart (NYSE: TUYA, HKEX: 2391), a global
IoT development platform service provider, attended the membership
meeting hosted by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (hereinafter
called the Alliance). As a board member of the Alliance and early
participant in Matter, Tuya demonstrated the new achievements of
its Solutions for Matter for global developers.
With extensive categories of hardware solutions, Tuya enables
customers to build core competitiveness of Matter devices
As the smart home industry continues to grow, more and more
brand and channel customers are looking to create Matter devices.
To add new Matter devices to existing product categories and create
additional features, customers need to make investments. Due to
issues such as higher development costs and functions that are
alike across device categories, it is challenging for them to enter
the market rapidly and establish their own competitive strengths.
Thus, Tuya keeps growing its hardware solutions for Matter and
offers customized features that customers can add on.
Tuya has obtained official certification for over 100 devices
across four major categories: electricity, lighting, gateway, and
sensors. The last category includes the most recent certified
motion sensors and contact sensors, and its launched hardware
solutions cover many smart home categories, such as light bulbs,
strip lights, switches, gateways, plug-ins, and sensors. In
addition, the Tuya-enabled sample Matter curtain motor will soon
start its official certification lab testing phase. Along with the
expanding Matter smart home product portfolio, Tuya will also
introduce equivalent hardware solutions for smoke sensors,
thermostats, and more by collaborating with global developers.
In terms of development capabilities, the powerful Tuya IoT
Development Platform can assist developers in achieving independent
and controllable Matter device development, giving customers more
individualized options, including color temperature control for
lighting products, scene mode settings, music, timing, and many
other functions for various devices. This is based on Tuya's market
expertise and core technical capabilities. By giving end-users a
better experience, Tuya will assist customers in building up their
competitive strengths as well as increasing their brand value and
market influence.
With one-stop access to official Matter device certification,
Tuya helps customers quickly seize market opportunities
Customers who develop Matter devices must frequently go through
a lengthy certification process before their products are suitable
for mass production and the market. Tuya can simplify the
certification procedure.
As the Alliance's highest-level member, Tuya possesses several
qualifications, including Matter product compliance certificate
transfer, similarity certification, and new certification, among
others. As a result, all products created using Tuya's Solutions
for Matter can be certified quickly and affordably through Tuya's
certificate transfer, significantly reducing the time required for
certification.
MOMAX SMART, a leading AloT and consumer electronics brand,
recently developed the Matter Gateway and Matter LED through Tuya's
Solutions for Matter, and obtained the Alliance's Matter
certification. "We are so excited to announce our first Matter
gateway and Matter LED will be launched this month. The entire
process of development and certification was convenient and smooth.
We received certification within thirteen business days,
considerably enhancing our business progress. Our Innovation
Center's experience of working with Tuya's expertise and full
process service capabilities was remarkable, and the entire process
provided tremendous value for the overseas business. Our Smart IoT
Team can't wait to create more Matter products in the future, to
embrace the change with Tuya, and expand Matter's penetration in
the smart home industry," said John
Cheng, CEO of MOMAX SMART.
Numerous customers have embraced Tuya's robust one-stop
solutions for developing, testing, and certifying Matter devices.
Customers choose Tuya not just for its core strengths in IoT
technology, but also for its intense focus on customer needs, as
well as Tuya's active collaboration with other ecosystem partners
to support customers' Matter devices in achieving cross-protocol
and cross-ecosystem integration and development, and solving
customers' challenges like integration into the Matter ecosystem
for current product categories.
Smart home ecosystems converge, and Tuya enables customers to
easily realize cross-protocol, cross-ecosystem interconnection
As an early participant and promoter of Matter, Tuya has worked
closely with Amazon, Apple and Google to build cross-protocol and
cross-ecosystem device interconnection, allowing customers to
manage their devices and mainstream ecosystem devices through one
interface. This has opened up a path of interconnection for
customers.
First of all, Tuya has introduced an exclusive gateway
development framework that supports Matter bridging, in response to
customer concerns that non-Matter devices cannot be incorporated
into the Matter ecosystem. This means that gateways created by
customers via the Tuya IoT Development Platform can convert
non-Matter devices into Matter-enabled devices to achieve
cross-protocol compatibility.
Secondly, Matter products created by customers can easily
integrate with well-known smart home ecosystems. They can quickly
become compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and
other mainstream ecosystems. In contrast, end-users can manage and
integrate scenes between Matter devices and mainstream smart home
devices throughout the entire house using the Tuya-enabled App, as
well as realizing multi-mode management via smart speakers, and
enjoying richer scene linkage settings and more convenient unified
device management.
It is worth mentioning that Matter-certified devices developed
by customers through Tuya can apply for the product certification
tags of two mainstream ecosystems, which are WA (Works with Alexa)
and WWGH (Works with Google Home). Through Tuya's express channel,
customers can obtain mainstream ecosystem endorsement and enhance
their brand recognition and market influence.
Finally, Tuya is strengthening its relationship with ecosystem
partners in order to advance the application of Matter in various
spheres. In response to Amazon's introduction of Matter Simple
Setup (MSS), Tuya has just recently launched its solutions for MSS.
These solutions allow customers to enable end-users to
automatically identify Matter devices via Amazon Echo speakers
alone, without the need for an App or scanning codes. Tuya has
officially finished MSS testing for Tuya-enabled Wi-Fi devices.
Customers are further enabled by Tuya in accordance with the
most recent Commissionable Endpoint functionality from Amazon.
After adding the device, end-users can use the Tuya-enabled App to
immediately synchronize Matter devices to their local region using
cloud-cloud synchronization. Thus, end-users can use Amazon Echo
speakers to achieve local control of Matter devices even when there
is no network connection.
Tuya Smart promotes global
win-win cooperation to enhance customers' product power and brand
value
In order to give customers a more effective and convenient
Matter development and certification process, as well as to assist
customers in optimizing the device interaction experience for
end-users and enjoying the limitless smart home scenes brought by
Matter, Tuya Smart is actively
promoting the comprehensive upgrade of Tuya's Solutions for Matter
1.1.
"Our mission to design and develop standards, facilitate
market-leading testing and certification processes enables
companies and consumers to leverage Matter's seamless compatibility
for smart products," said Tobin
Richardson, President and CEO of the Connectivity Standards
Alliance. "As a board member and promoter, Tuya collaborates with
us in technical aspects and market applications, helping to shape a
market benefiting both product manufacturers and billions of
consumers worldwide. We invite others to join forces with Tuya and
our Alliance as we build a secure, interoperable, and user-friendly
IoT ecosystem that delivers value to everyone."
Following this Membership Meeting, a number of renowned
exhibitions and conferences will feature Tuya's Solutions for
Matter in further detail.
Tuya stays committed to enhancing the technical foundation,
improving the capabilities of the development platform, optimizing
the entire one-stop development process, embracing change with an
open and neutral ecosystem, working with brands, channels,
ecosystem partners, etc. to continue to expand the global
application of Matter, exploring the new development potential of
the smart home industry, and working together with partners to
build the future of IoT.
