Matter

The Matter setting enables the Loft Interface to act as a Matter bridge, allowing your smart home devices, scenes, and groups to be integrated with and controlled by popular smart home ecosystems like Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa — with no extra hub required.

⚠️ Important Network Requirement:
The Loft Interface, your mobile device running the Matter-supported app, and your ecosystem hub (such as an Apple HomePod / Apple TV, Google Nest Hub, or Amazon Echo) must all be connected to the exact same Wi-Fi network for Matter pairing and communication to succeed.
