      • SENSORICS WITH MATTER

Insta Matter Push Button Module

The battery-operated Matter wall-mounted switch module from Insta with four buttons can be installed flexibly and, depending on the range of functions of the selected Matter platform, allows smart functions to be freely configured with the switch designs of well-known manufacturers. For example, the light can be switched on and off and the desired brightness set at the touch of a button. With the help of programmed scenes and automatic functions, the shading is operated at the touch of a button.

Insta Matter Push-Button Interface

The battery-operated Matter push-button interface from Insta enables the switch to be networked with all network-compatible devices behind the existing wall switch or wall push-button. A single operation therefore no longer simply switches the load connected by cable, but also controls all Matter capable devices. This is made possible by the smart function of our device, which is integrated into the existing cabling.

VARIANTS

  • Rotary/push button
  • Touch device
  • Combination with display

APPLICATION IN NEW BUILDINGS

  • No additional planning effort, because the controllers can be integrated appropriately without special cabling. The prerequisite for this is underfloor heating or radiators in the property.
  • The room thermostats can be integrated into the existing switch design or implemented as compact devices.
  • No additional bus cabling required
  • Installation devices become smart and networked with the Matter flush-mounted actuators

Matter is supported by the major ecosystem providers

Matter is the name of the standard created by the CSA (formerly Zigbee Alliance), which is based on the IP-based application protocol of the Connected Home Over IP (CHIP) project. With Matter, a common global smart home standard is being created for the first time. Matter is backed by the major providers of smart home ecosystems. It offers benefits to users and manufacturers alike. Products with Matter technology can be integrated into these ecosystems by users without any obstacles. Manufacturers do not need separate tests of their products against the different ecosystems in addition to the Matter certification.

Features of the Matter standard

Communication is
secure and private

The Matter protocol relies on established procedures from the communications industry for security and data protection. This guarantees a comprehensive and stable security standard - every message is encrypted, every device is secure.

Interoperability via a common layer

Smart home devices with Matter technology use a common application layer and a standardised data model. This means that they can always communicate with each other in a meaningful way - regardless of the manufacturer, the (wireless) technology used or the corresponding smart home ecosystem.

Multi admin functionality

Matter-certified devices are able to exist in several Matter hubs simultaneously and be operated via them.

This function is one of the essential basic functions of the Matter standard:

The building contains an Amazon Echo, which is used as a Thread Border Router. The Matter-capable devices are commissioned and operated with the Amazon Alexa app. To do this, the first step is to scan the QR code on the Matter-capable device, integrate the device into the structure of the home and configure the functions and parameters. An Apple HomePod is now added to the building and installed. The devices already linked to Amazon Alexa can be copied to the Apple Home app and additional functions added without having to commission the Matter-capable devices again. As a result, the devices can now be controlled with both the Amazon Alexa app and the Apple Home app. This ensures that they are put into operation only once and that the device status is synchronised between the two systems. This can take place in a building with a total of up to five ecosystems and the corresponding visualisation apps.

Bridging functionality

Matter provides the option of compatibility via IP interfaces using the bridge function. This allows non-Matter compatible systems, device information and status functions to be utilised for Matter ecosystems.

There is an Amazon Echo device in the property and the Amazon Alexa app is used with Matter-capable devices. A Philips Hue system has also been installed in the property. Philips Hue communicates via the Zigbee wireless standard to operate the Philips Hue bridge. The Philips Hue system has an IP interface to the Matter standard, which makes it possible to utilise Matter functions and product features via the Philips Hue bridge. This means that all Matter-capable devices and all Philips Hue devices can be controlled without restrictions via the Amazon Alexa app.

DAC as a device-specific feature

Every Matter-certified device includes a unique device-specific Device Attestation Certificate (DAC). This DAC is used to authenticate and verify the device as a Matter device from a specific manufacturer. Without this unique key, the device cannot be accepted as Matter-certified and cannot join a network. The Matter-certified device also contains a large amount of device-related information, such as which manufacturer it comes from, what type of device it is, what it is called etc.

Consulting

Innovation, transformation and a competitive edge are created in many different ways. We offer you a consulting service from the strategy to implementation and provide you with technological and business support so that you can establish yourself as a leading provider on the market.

Integration in
existing systems

Uniformity must be integrable. After all, Matter was created to simplify things. And not to complicate them unnecessarily. However, the latter would certainly be the case if the standard was not convergent with existing systems. They would have to be replaced in their entirety - simple works differently. For this reason, we design our Matter solutions in such a way to allow us to easily integrate them into existing structures.

Cooperation in
new developments

Accompanying an innovative solution from the idea to market maturity is something great - without question. Participating in one is just as good. As an experienced pioneer in the field of building automation, we are happy to put the expertise we have gathered over decades at the service of your new development. Or we can take you on board with our projects. No matter which variant it comes down to: in the end, innovations are just a matter of time.

Workshops

You want to find out more about the Matter standard and make use of the knowledge of our experts? You can decide whether the workshop should take place as an intensive programme or in individual modules that build on each other. We offer various virtual, hybrid or on-site workshops to immerse you in detail in the various areas of the Matter standard.
