Smart home fans have the new version of the standard Matter another reason to rejoice. Connectivity Standards Alli Organizationance, which is Matter stands and of which he is a member Apple, has announced the completion of version 1.4, in which it brings a number of really interesting novelties that will definitely come in handy. 

Perhaps the most interesting news Matter 1.1 is the so-called "Enhanced Multi-Admin", which, in very simple terms, allows users to set up a smart device with support for Matter adding it to multiple ecosystems simultaneously using a single authorization, which will significantly speed up the entire adding process. In other words, after activating the device, it will be possible to add it directly to, for example, via its companion application Apple Households (HomeKitu) and Google Homewithout having to set everything up in multiple steps. This is undoubtedly a nice upgrade that will increase overall user comfort. 

Another positive is the addition of support for many new devices with smart functions. For example, support for heat pumps, water heaters, solar systems and so on has been added, while Matter It will even allow you to set these devices based on energy consumption, or rather the tariff that the user wants the device to use. Unfortunately, at this point we can hardly estimate when Apple Matter will deliver version 1.4 to its devices. Manufacturers of smartphones and other electronics are generally not in a hurry to implement the latest version of this standard.
