Matter Enablement
How Blaze Automation Supports Matter Integration
Implementing Matter can be complex - from updating firmware and meeting new security requirements to navigating certification. This is where Blaze Automation serves as an end-to-end partner for OEMs and product developers looking to ride the Matter wave. Blaze brings years of IoT engineering expertise across hardware, firmware, mobile apps, cloud, and compliance - everything needed to take a device (or an entire platform) into the Matter-enabled future.
Matter Hardware Enablement
Blaze specializes in enhancing both new and legacy devices with Matter capabilities, transforming traditional products into fully interoperable smart devices. As an active member of the CSA (Connectivity Standards Alliance), Blaze has deep know-how in the Matter protocol. Our team can retrofit existing devices with Matter-enabled hardware/firmware, ensuring they communicate seamlessly with modern smart home platforms while meeting Matter’s stringent security and performance benchmarks. This includes evaluating your product’s hardware to see if it can support Matter (Thread radio, enough memory, etc.) and then updating or redesigning the firmware to run the Matter stack. We perform protocol integration, implement the required data models (clusters), and enable features like multi-admin, all tailored to your device’s functions. In addition, our Bridge Gateways can extend Matter compatibility to non-Matter devices, enabling them to integrate effortlessly with Matter ecosystems. We also handle extensive testing and validation, because a device must not only work in one ecosystem but in all – we ensure interoperability with Apple, Google, Amazon, and others before it ever reaches certification.
Full-Stack Integration
Matter isn’t just about devices; it spans the app and cloud experience too. Blaze provides development support for mobile apps and cloud platforms to integrate Matter devices. For example, we can upgrade your existing mobile application to interface with Matter (using the Matter SDK) so that your users have a smooth onboarding and control experience. We implement commissioning flows, multi-admin account linking, secure authentication, and even support for new Matter services in your cloud backend if needed. If you don’t have your own app, our “B.One” platform and white-label apps can serve as a ready-made controller solution. In short, we make sure your Matter-enabled device fits into a complete product ecosystem, including voice assistant integration (Alexa, Google Assistant).
Certification and Compliance
Navigating the Matter certification process is another area where Blaze adds value. We guide you through the CSA certification steps, from pre-testing in our lab (using Matter test harnesses) to preparing documentation and coordinating with authorized test providers. Our team’s experience with IoT compliance (including wireless regulatory, safety, and now Matter certification) helps avoid pitfalls that could delay your product launch. Security is also paramount - we assist with setting up Product Attestation Authority credentials (so your devices get their official certificates) and implementing secure manufacturing processes to inject keys and certificates safely. By entrusting this to Blaze, manufacturers can significantly accelerate time-to-market for Matter devices, knowing that experts have sweat the details of compliance and interoperability.
Turnkey Product Engineering
Blaze offers a one-stop solution from concept to production. If you have an existing device that needs a Matter upgrade, we can handle the custom hardware add-ons (e.g. adding a Thread radio module or upgrading to a Matter-compatible MCU), the firmware development, and even the mechanical tweaks if required. If you’re building a new Matter device from scratch, we provide turnkey product development including electronics design, embedded software, cloud deployment, and manufacturing support. Our experience spans all major wireless protocols (Wi-Fi, BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread) so we can also ensure your Matter device coexists or bridges with any other protocols you plan to support. Ultimately, Blaze’s Matter Enablement service is about de-risking the adoption of Matter for OEMs - we handle the heavy lifting to make your product “just work” in the Matter ecosystem, on time and within budget. As our Matter team often says, we future-proof your smart devices by design.
