Smart-home technology firm Momax has become the first Hong Kong company to integrate its products with Matter.

Matter is a protocol led by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) with members including industry giants, and is an open-source smart home standard aimed at improving the interoperability of various smart-home devices.

The first local brand smart home product combined with Matter supports multiple mainstream smart-home platforms, such as Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, allowing users to choose freely and switch easily between different smart-home control platforms. Matter has a security mechanism to ensure users’ privacy and data are protected.

Users can now download Momax’s smart app, and the system will support various smart-home devices for easy expansion of smart-home system functions.

Momax plans to collaborate with Hong Kong Broadband and Yoho for sales of its Matter gateway and light bulb. Starting next week, Momax’s Matter products will be available for sale on momaxsmart.com, Hong Kong Broadband’s Shoppy, and Yoho. This collaboration is believed to help the three parties achieve synergies in the smart-home field, creating greater value for customers.

The first local brand product to support the Matter gateway, Smart Gateway 2.0 allows cross-platform connectivity with major smart home ecosystems such as Apple, Google and Alexa through Matter. At the same time, it connects with various sensors through Zigbee and Thread wireless technology for smart device management.

The firm’s Smart Rainbow LED (IB12S) offers various lighting scene options controlled through wifi for different lighting effects. This smart bulb is the first local brand product to support Matter, providing compatibility with multiple smart home platforms.

In addition to the pre-sale on momaxsmart.com, Shoppy and Yoho, Momax’s Matter products will soon be available in numerous sales outlets across Hong Kong, including Broadway, Fortress, Watsons, Sincere, Aeon, Log-on, HKTV Mall, TownGas, The Club and Sunion.

In the future, Momax plans to strengthen its cooperation with Hong Kong Broadband and Yoho, including jointly developing more Matter-supported products through Hong Kong Broadband’s expertise in telecommunications and networking, and enhancing customer experience by leveraging Yoho’s insights into user and product experience.

“We firmly believe that creative technology products are indispensable companions in life, thus each of our creations revolves around the theme of life,” said a Momax spokesperson. “Our designers infuse intelligence and vitality into each product, coupled with stylish appearance and high-quality materials, creating widely popular lifestyle accessories. We are delighted that Momax’s technology products not only benefit human life but also become trendy items loved by the young market.”
