Introduction to new Matter devices
This week, several new Matter devices have been added to the CSA public list. These devices offer a range of features and functionalities, from smart plugs to thermostats and lighting solutions. For shoppers looking to upgrade their smart home systems, these new additions provide more options to choose from.
The new devices include the Cync Outdoor Plug and Dual Socket Smart Plug from GE Lighting, a Savant company, the Comet Matter thermostat from Eurotronic Technology GmbH, and the Smart pendant light from ZHEJIANG LEPENG ELECTRIC CO LTD. All of these devices have been certified by the CSA, ensuring that they meet the necessary standards for Matter devices.
When shopping for Matter devices, it's essential to consider the transport protocols used by each device. Some devices, like the Cync Outdoor Plug and Dual Socket Smart Plug, use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, while others, like the Comet Matter thermostat, use Thread and Bluetooth. Understanding the transport protocols used by each device can help shoppers ensure compatibility with their existing smart home systems.
GE Lighting devices
The Cync Outdoor Plug and Dual Socket Smart Plug from GE Lighting, a Savant company, are two new Matter devices that have been added to the CSA public list. Both devices are certified and offer a range of features, including on/off plug-in unit functionality and support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transport protocols.
The Cync Outdoor Plug is a great option for shoppers looking to control their outdoor lighting and appliances remotely. The device is weather-resistant and can be controlled using a smartphone app or voice assistant. The Dual Socket Smart Plug, on the other hand, offers two sockets that can be controlled independently, making it a great option for shoppers who want to control multiple devices at once.
Both devices are compatible with a range of smart home systems, including Alexa and Google Home. However, shoppers should note that these devices do not support Thread, so they may not be compatible with Thread-based systems.
Eurotronic Technology GmbH device
The Comet Matter thermostat from Eurotronic Technology GmbH is another new Matter device that has been added to the CSA public list. This device is certified and offers a range of features, including thermostat functionality and support for Thread and Bluetooth transport protocols.
The Comet Matter thermostat is a great option for shoppers looking to upgrade their heating and cooling systems. The device can be controlled using a smartphone app or voice assistant, and it supports a range of smart home systems, including Home Assistant. The device's support for Thread also makes it a great option for shoppers who want to integrate their thermostat with other Thread-based devices.
One thing to note about the Comet Matter thermostat is that it requires a Thread border router to function. Shoppers who do not have a Thread border router may need to purchase one separately in order to use this device.
ZHEJIANG LEPENG ELECTRIC CO LTD device
The Smart pendant light from ZHEJIANG LEPENG ELECTRIC CO LTD is a new Matter device that has been added to the CSA public list. This device is certified and offers a range of features, including extended color light functionality and support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transport protocols.
The Smart pendant light is a great option for shoppers looking to upgrade their lighting systems. The device can be controlled using a smartphone app or voice assistant, and it supports a range of smart home systems, including Alexa and Google Home. The device's support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth also makes it a great option for shoppers who want to integrate their lighting with other devices.
One thing to note about the Smart pendant light is that it does not support Thread. Shoppers who want to integrate their lighting with other Thread-based devices may need to consider a different option.
