Welcome to the Silicon Labs Matter Github repo. Matter is an application layer that provides a standardized interface between protocols and devices. With Matter, it is transparent to the underlying device whether the interaction is from a Thread application or a Wi-Fi application. For more information on Matter in general see the main Matter Overview page. This repo is the starting point for all Silicon Labs-related Matter development. Silicon Labs supports Matter on both 802.15.4 (Thread) and 802.11 (Wi-Fi) transport protocols.
Note: Silicon Labs Matter GitHub is being phased out in favor of using the Matter GSDK Extension that is available thru Studio and standalone via SLC-CLI.
To see release notes containing list of features and knowns issues go to SiliconLabs/matter/releases and find the corresponding notes for the release you are using.
As seen below, Silicon Labs supports Matter on several different hardware platforms including the EFR32, RS9116, WF200 and the new SiWx917 which is a Wi-Fi System-on-Chip (SoC).
Device: EFR32+RS9116
Device: SiWx917 SoC
This repo contains documentation, demos, examples and all the code needed for Matter Accessory Device development on both Thread and Wi-Fi. The Thread development use cases differs from Wi-Fi because the Thread protocol requires the use of an Open Thread Border Router (OTBR).
- To get started with the Thread demo and development see Matter Thread
- To get started with the Wi-Fi demo and development see Matter Wi-Fi
