Android 15 will embrace Matter smart home devices by supporting the Thread protocol
Android 15 is adding support for Thread, a low-power mesh networking protocol specifically designed for Matter smart home devices. This opens the door to potentially seamless smart home experiences as Matter enables smart home devices to communicate with each other, regardless of brand. Matter doesn’t replace communication protocols like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi but acts as a universal language, standardizing the way devices talk to each other.
Thread, with its mesh networking capabilities, offers unique advantages over traditional protocols. It is highly power efficient, a key benefit for battery-powered devices, and allows devices to relay signals and route data more efficiently. This results in a more reliable connection that is also easily scalable, addressing common issues in smart homes.
