Matter Smart Energy Solutions

Matter Smart Energy helps unify connected homes and the smart grid through secure, interoperable energy management. Silicon Labs provides Matter-ready wireless SoCs, Wi-Fi solutions, Secure Vault™ technology, software, tools, and developer resources for building EV chargers, smart appliances, meters, solar, battery, and home energy management products. 

Why Matter Smart Energy Matters 

The energy landscape is changing quickly. Electric vehicles, data centers, renewable energy, and distributed energy resources are increasing the need for more flexible, responsive grid-edge systems. Matter helps address this challenge by creating a common language between smart home platforms, connected devices, and energy management applications. For consumers, this can simplify energy optimization. For utilities, it can support demand response and grid resilience. For device manufacturers, it can reduce ecosystem fragmentation and accelerate product development.

Why build Matter Smart Energy products with Silicon Labs?

Silicon Labs helps device manufacturers reduce development complexity and accelerate Matter product development with connected hardware, software, security, and tools designed for the IoT. 

Matter-ready wireless platforms

Silicon Labs wireless platforms are designed to support Matter over Thread and Matter over Wi-Fi applications across smart home and smart energy devices. With scalable SoCs, integrated connectivity, and development support, manufacturers can build secure, reliable products for energy-aware connected homes.

Secure connectivity for grid-connected devices

Smart energy devices require strong protection because they interact with high-value systems, user data, and grid-edge infrastructure. Silicon Labs Secure Vault™ technology helps protect connected products with hardware-based security capabilities designed to support secure boot, encrypted communication, and device integrity.

Development tools and Matter software support

Silicon Labs helps developers move from evaluation to production with Simplicity Studio, Gecko SDK, Matter software support, example applications, energy profiling tools, and technical resources. These tools help teams configure device data models, build Matter applications, test connectivity, and optimize product performance. 

Real-world Matter Smart Energy applications

EV charging and energy-aware load shifting

Matter-enabled EV chargers can help consumers and energy systems coordinate charging around utility rates, household load, renewable generation, and grid conditions. As Matter energy capabilities evolve, EVSE can become a more integrated part of the connected home and grid-edge energy ecosystem. 

Smart appliances and automated scheduling

Connected appliances can use energy reporting and scheduling capabilities to help consumers shift operation to lower-cost or lower-impact periods. This creates opportunities for energy-aware dishwashers, dryers, ovens, laundry systems, and other line-powered appliances.

Home energy management systems

A Home Energy Management System can coordinate connected devices such as thermostats, heat pumps, water heaters, solar, storage, appliances, and EV chargers. Matter can help these systems communicate across ecosystems and optimize energy use based on comfort, cost, availability, and grid signals.

Solar, storage, and grid-interactive homes

As Matter adds support for solar, inverters, battery storage, meters, and tariff-related information, smart homes can become more responsive to both local energy production and grid conditions. 

Build the Next Generation of Matter Smart Energy Devices

Matter Smart Energy is helping connect the smart home, distributed energy resources, and the grid edge. Silicon Labs provides the wireless platforms, security technology, development tools, and Matter expertise needed to help manufacturers bring secure, interoperable smart energy products to market.
