  1. Overview

Unify SDK is a software framework that simplifies the developer experience, removing difficult parts of network control and network management as it relates to gateway and hub development in IoT applications. It also provides a Matter bridge example code to enable Z-Wave customers to be connected to the Matter ecosystem.

Unify SDK is developed as an open, modular, and portable architecture based on ubiquitous lightweight MQTT technology. The software framework is designed and developed on the application processors running POSIX compliant OS, such as Linux. Unify SDK simplifies development and ongoing software maintenance for IoT gateways and application processor-based end devices.

The Unify SDK provides software source and binary packages for Raspberry Pi 4. It facilitates the easy development of an IoT gateway based on the Unify SDK architecture.
