We saw several beta Matter gadgets in operation earlier this month at the IFA tech expo. Eve Systems demonstrated a smart plug that can be managed by Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings.
That demonstration emphasized one of Matter’s fundamental capabilities, multi-admin control, which has been hinted at both the iOS and iPadOS betas. This enables devices to have different masters, so you may ask Siri to turn down your Nest thermostat or have your Amazon smart plug controlled by a Google Nest Hub.
