Amazon is trying to fix content casting with an open standard


Amazon uses Matter to bring casting to Prime Video and Fire TV.

“We’ve been developing this over a few years, and we want to put Matter Casting everywhere,” Chris DeCenzo, a principal engineer at Amazon who works on Alexa devices, tells The Verge. Developed by Apple, Amazon, Google, and Samsung (and others), Matter is an open-sourced, IP-based connectivity software layer for smart home devices. These include lighting, plugs and switches, thermostats, locks, security and environment sensors, refrigerators, dishwashers, smoke alarms, air quality monitors, and more.
