Matter 1.4.1: Streamlining Smart Home Setup with Enhanced Features

The latest update to the Matter specification, version 1.4.1, focuses on improving the smart home device setup process. Key enhancements include the ability to display manufacturer terms and conditions (T&C) during setup, easier multi-device setup using a single QR code, and support for NFC tags alongside QR codes and physical code entry. These changes aim to simplify the user experience and reduce the need to download additional apps. Manufacturers can start integrating these updates into their products via software updates. The goal of Matter is to enhance interoperability between different smart home ecosystems, including Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa.
