Amazon is on board
Amazon is definitely on board with Matter, as it’s a company that made a name for itself in the smart home before Google even launched its first smart speaker. The company announced in a developer blog that you should look for the Works with Alexa (WWA) badge when shopping to find Matter-compatible devices.
Matter will go live on 17 different Amazon Echo devices starting in December, though only select smart plugs, smart bulbs, and smart switches will be compatible at first. Android devices will also be the first to support onboarding through the Alexa app, as the ability to do so on iOS is still in the works.
Sengled also partnered with Amazon to release the first batch of Matter-ready smart bulbs. The company announced it’s using the Alexa Connect Kit (ACK) SDK to gear up for compatibility. You can expect to see it throughout Sengled’s 2023 product launches.
