Implementing the first Matter customer application

1 October 2025

EKTOS has recently been tasked with implementing the first Matter customer application. The goal was to connect an innovative HVAC system from an international vendor to a Matter network, allowing users of Home Assistant infrastructure to control the ventilation system and automate scenes based on it.

To achieve this, EKTOS’ development team opted for the ESP32-Cx series of SoMs, which were already a preferred design choice and utilized WiFi as the connectivity transport. By leveraging the Matter protocol as a royalty-free connectivity option, the customer was able to minimize product CAPEX while still ensuring modern and rapidly developing connectivity. This approach only required paying a certification fee, making it a cost-effective solution.

If you’re looking to implement Matter on either battery-powered products (via Thread) or high-traffic permanent DC-connected products (via WiFi or/and Ethernet), EKTOS is here to help. Our team of experts will provide you with a professional solution that ensures the shortest time-to-market.
