Samsung SmartThings is set to fully support Matter 1.2, making it the first major smart home platform to do so. This update allows manufacturers to integrate compatible devices with SmartThings. The SmartThings app will see support for Matter later this summer, enabling control over various appliances. Other enhancements include app design improvements, new device control options, Hub Backup, shareable routines, and a gamification feature for energy management. While some competitors like Amazon Alexa and Google Home haven't added Matter 1.2 support yet, this move positions SmartThings as a leader in the smart home ecosystem.
