Matter speakers could stream music and tell you when the wash is done


You might soon be able to stream music through Matter

Chris LaPré, CTO of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), which runs Matter, confirmed to The Verge that “a new streaming speaker device type and related controls” is under development. As part of Matter, speakers could leverage the device-to-device communication enabled by the standard to when someone rings your doorbell, notify you when your washing is done, or sound alarms when a smoke detector is triggered. Schillmoeller said LegatoXP provides a way to connect speakers from different brands to enable multiroom music and support for multiple smart home ecosystems through Matter.
