Samsung and Google are working to streamline setting up Matter smart home devices
This means users won't have to manually set up gadgets one-by-one on both platforms. And once a device has been onboarded, you'll be able to control it using both Google's and Samsung's smart home apps. And while there isn't an exact timetable for when this will happen, Samsung says Matter's multi-admin feature will roll out sometime in the"coming weeks."
As for the rest of the SmartThings ecosystem, Samsung says Bixby is also getting deeper integration into the company's smart home platform, which will allow developers to support a wider range of voice-based interface experiences. Meanwhile, on the security front, Samsung also announced a new blockchain-based platform called Knox Matrix that will allow eligible devices to create a"shield" designed to protect connected devices like TVs and appliances from outside hacks.
The company says Knox Matrix will employ mutli-layered mutual monitoring to prevent bad actors from gaining unauthorized access to your devices. Supported gadgets will also be able to share login info and other sensitive data directly with each other in order to simplify the login process between trusted devices.
