Matter Alliance
As of iOS 15 and its counterparts, Apple is now officially embracing the new Matter connected home alliance. This means you’ll soon be able to control accessories from other home automation ecosystems like Amazon Alexa and Google Home, all from HomeKit. In fact, Cason added that Matter-enabled accessories will be integrated straight into the Home app, so you’ll be able to see all of them and control them from there, regardless of whether they’re specifically made for HomeKit.
