ESP RainMaker® Supports Creating Your Own Matter Eco-System

ESP RainMaker® private IoT cloud platform from Espressif now supports a Matter Fabric to allow you to create your own Matter ecosystem. This is the industry’s first fully re-brandable Matter ecosystem implementation.

Espressif’s ESP RainMaker® IoT cloud platform allows you to deploy your own private IoT cloud with full control over data and customizations. The ESP RainMaker solution provides a cloud backend based on AWS Serverless architecture, open-source phone apps for iOS and Android, voice assistant skills, and device firmware SDK significantly simplifying the IoT device development. 

The Matter protocol not only brings standardization and interoperability to smart home devices but also ensures security, reliability, and simplicity in the use of these devices. With Matter support becoming available in commonly used ecosystems such as Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, and Google Home, more and more device makers are adopting Matter protocol in their devices. 

Taking our Matter solution offering to the next level, Espressif is proud to announce the availability of support for Matter Fabric in the ESP RainMaker IoT cloud platform. Matter Fabric is a private virtual network over which Matter Devices, Admins, and Controllers communicate with each other. Matter Fabrics can span across the Wi-Fi, Thread, and Ethernet physical networks within the home. With this offering, ESP RainMaker customers can build their own ecosystem without requiring significant engineering investment. This also enables the customers to have Matter-based onboarding and local control in their own custom phone apps based on ESP RainMaker. This will allow to onboard not only their own devices but also third-party devices through the same application giving an enhanced and unified user experience to the end consumer. Moreover, ESP RainMaker’s Matter Fabric implementation provides cloud synchronizsation of the device database and the Matter based local control is available across multiple phone apps and controllers under the same user context.  

Beyond device onboarding and control, the ESP RainMaker phone apps also support Matter "bindings" which allow devices to talk to each other directly over the local network. This Matter device binding, once set up, directly works between devices, without the interference of any phone apps. It also supports a special category of devices called "Controllers" which allow you to discover and control all devices linked to the user without even opening the phone app. 

The Matter Fabric support is made available as a part of the public instance of ESP RainMaker and open-source iOS phone application for ESP RainMaker. You can use it for the evaluation. The Android version of the phone application will be made available soon. 

Matter Controllers 

The RainMaker Matter Fabric support is a great solution that works in conjunction with the Matter Controller. Matter Controllers are devices in your home that can control other Matter devices. The Matter control can allow device control either through voice, or through an attached display, or through phone applications themselves. The Matter controller can also provide the capability to remotely control your devices. 

For any commercial queries about ESP RainMaker and the Matter Fabric support, you can get in touch with our customer success team and they will try to assist as soon as possible.
