Have you heard about the Matter protocol?
Matter is a new protocol for smart home devices with a significant goal. The aim is to connect various Smart Home device manufacturers and manufacturers of popular technology, along with their applications and control systems, into a single standard.
In practice, we can imagine such a symbiosis as a user who purchases a relay for controlling lights can easily connect it to both the HomeKit app on their iPhone and the SmartThings app on their Samsung smart TV without having to deal with complex integrations. This applies to both individuals and professionals who have chosen a specific partner for their electrical installations.
Even though this technology is relatively young, it is already certain that Matter will succeed. Smart plugs and bulbs with Matter support are already available on the market, and major technology manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung, Google, and Amazon are backing it.
Does Matter have a chance to penetrate the market of professional SMART HOME systems?
Not only does it have a chance, but thanks to iNELS, it’s already making an impact. ELKO EP, the company manufacturing the iNELS system, has announced the certification of the first 6 units with Matter protocol support. This makes them the first European manufacturer of components for professional electrical installations with this protocol
How do iNELS products differentiate themselves in this direction?
Looking at the iNELS Matter range, consisting of installation relays, dimmers for mounting boxes, and various types of switches, it’s evident that the assortment is designed to build a functional lighting control system. Interestingly, iNELS is the only system offering switches in a wide range of colors and materials to meet the design needs of a broad customer base.
To be applicable in commercial buildings like hotels or offices, iNELS Matter also includes motion, window, and door detectors for security functions, access control, and property management. ELKO EP, a Czech company with 30 years of market presence, manufactures elements for smart electrical installations.
The wireless system units, which form the basis for iNELS Matter components, have been on the market for 17 years, with the first customers still using them in their operational installations. Now, enthusiasts of simple and connected Matter installations have the opportunity to install elements at home that will truly endure, eliminating the need for replacements every two years.
However, the most crucial feature of iNELS components is their security. The highest standards are applied to ensure their security, and all components undergo the strictest security tests before leaving the production line.
