Matter is a universal language connecting your smart home devices, no matter who they're manufactured by.
It allows devices from different brands (like Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and SmartThings) to work together easily.
Think of it as a translator that helps your smart lock "speak" to any smart home system you prefer.
It uses Internet Protocol (IP) for communication over networks like Wi-Fi and Thread, enabling interoperability, security, and simplified setup. visit the Gainsborough Matter page. For your Gainsborough Freestyle Smart WiFi Trilock, it works using Thread.
