Has anyone looked into Matter?
Back in 2019, Apple announced that it was teaming up with Samsung, Amazon, Google, and the Zigbee Alliance to create a more open and secure standard for smart home accessories. Then referred to as “Connected Home over IP” and eventually rebranded to “Matter".
Matter is a royalty-free, open-source connectivity standard will soon be integrated into the SmartThings ecosystem to enable communication between a whole heap of smart devices. Essentially Matter devices will interact with thousands of products and brands already within the SmartThings platform. It's currently scheduled for arrival in June 2022.
I was reading a few articles on it and stumbled upon this one which says that the "new capability also adds local connectivity to the device, allowing for quicker response times and the chance to use your devices
even if the internet is down".
Is AKIDA the secret sauce behind Matter?

While today you can control, say, a Philips Hue light bulb with multiple apps and voice assistants, you currently have to set it up with each one individually. With Matter, it’ll be one and done. As a nice bonus, this new capability also adds local connectivity to the device, allowing for quicker response times and the chance to use your devices even if the internet is down.
Make it Matter.
