The Matter Timeline
The Matter working group meets twice per year to come up with new version of the Matter standard. The standard is what Matter participating organizations, like Google, Apple, Samsung and more, use to create their apps and allow devices to work across ecosystems. It typically takes between 6-12 months for the primary App creators to implement the new version of Matter into their apps, which means these features are not available right away.
Latest Version: Matter 1.5
Matter 1.5 was announced on November 20, 2025. This major update officially introduces support for Camera streaming, utilizing a side-channel protocol like RTSP over wifi or ethernet. This long-awaited feature opens the door for a new generation of interoperable smart home cameras.
In addition to camera support, Matter 1.5 continues to improve stability and performance across the ecosystem, ensuring a more reliable smart home experience for users and better tools for developers.
