The Promise of Reliable and Secure Connectivity
Matter is built around a shared belief that smart home devices should be secure, reliable, and seamless to use. By building upon Internet Protocol (IP), Matter will enable communication across smart home devices, mobile app, and cloud services, and define a specific set of IP-based networking technologies for device certification.
Works with all your devices made with Matter
Enabled with Matter, your smart luminaire will work with other smart devices built on this industry-unifying technology, including voice-enabled assistants, straight out of the box. Just turn it on, and you’ll enjoy secure, reliable connectivity, today and well into the future.

WHAT IS MATTER?
Matter is a new industry-unifying standard to connect compatible devices and systems with one another in a secure, reliable, and seamless sway.
HOW CAN I CONTROL PROLICHT MATTER LIGHT FITTINGS?
All certified Matter controllers can be used for this purpose, such as Amazon Alexa, Apple Ipad, Apple Iphone, Apple HomePod, Google smartphones, etc. If there are further Matter-certified controllers in the future, these will also be able to automatically control all Matter devices in a network. Customers have complete flexibility in their choice of controller and can change this at any time without having to make major changes to the existing smart home.
CAN I CONTROL THE LUMINAIRE WITH DIFFERENT SOFTWARE (APPLE HOME, ALEXA, GOOGLE)?
Currently, PROLICHT's Matter-enabled luminaires are tested with the Apple, Google, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and HomeAssistant ecosystem controls. Other open Matter-certified solutions will soon be available that are compatible with both Apple and Android devices.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE PHYSICAL CONTROLS FOR THE MATTER LIGHTING?
PROLICHT Matter-enabled luminaires can be controlled with traditional electromechanical on/off switches.
With the Push Button module, it is now possible to find physical smart switches on the market that are Matter Certified.
DO I NEED A CONTROL CENTRE/BRIDGE?
Today, a local control centre (Apple HomePod, Amazon Alexa, Google Nest, Samsung SmartThings, HomeAssistant...) is required to manage Matter devices, including PROLICHT Matter-enabled luminaires. Various solutions will be available in the future.
DO WE NEED A WI-FI NETWORK FOR OUR PRODUCTS TO FUNCTION?
Yes, PROLICHT Matter-enabled luminaires require a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network to take full advantage of Matter possibilities. Without network, they can be managed as standard on/off light fitting.
WHAT HAPPENS IF TH WI-FI NETWORK DISAPPEARS?
If, after commissioning the PROLICHT Matter-enabled luminaires, the Wi-Fi network is disconnected, they are programmed to go in protection mode: all luminaires dimmed below 50% go up to 50% dimming, and all luminaires dimmed 50% or more remain at the dim level they are. With this setting a minimum light quantity is ensured in all spaces controlled with Matter.
WHY IS PROLICHT USING A WI-FI CONNECTION?
PROLICHT Matter-enabled luminaires are managed by Matter software through a Wi-Fi solution, as this technology allows better connection, better transmission power and fast reaction time, also with longer distances.
DO WE NEED INTERNET CONNECTION FOR OUR PRODUCTS TO FUNCTION?
An internet connection is mandatory for the control unit (Google, Alexa,...) so that you can control the PROLICHT Matter-enabled lights via voice control or mobile apps. It is not necessary if you only operate them afterwards with an on/off switch or when using Apple or Samsung SmartThings.
WHAT HAPPENS IF POWER GOES OFF AND THEN COMES BACK ON?
PROLICHT Matter-enabled luminaires memorize the last status before power off, and are programmed to come back to the same status when power comes back on.
HOW DO I COMMISSION MY LUMINAIRE?
PROLICHT Matter-enabled luminaires can be put into operation with the most common systems. (Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung Smart Things). In the future, more and more control applications will offer the same function.
WHAT HAPPENS IF A PROLICHT MATTER LIGHT FITTING IS INSTALLED AND NOT COMMISIONED?
PROLICHT Matter-enabled luminaires are programmed so that they are easy to recognize before commissioning. As soon as they are switched on, they flash for 15 seconds, providing visual feedback for commissioning. If commissioning is not carried out, they flash for 15 seconds each time they are switched on and then go to 100% power.
HOW DO I RESET THE LUMINAIRE?
The PROLICHT Matter-enabled lights are programmed to reset to factory settings after they have been switched off and on 10 times in a row. This on/off cycle should take 3 seconds each (3 seconds on, 3 seconds off) After resetting, the lights start flashing and wait for a new start-up.
