Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our smart home solution
Matter is a connectivity standard that enables smart devices from different manufacturers to work together. It simplifies smart home setup, enhances security, and improves device compatibility. The STM32WB series is specifically designed to support Matter implementations with integrated wireless connectivity and security features.
The STM32WB series uniquely combines an ARM Cortex-M4 core with a dedicated wireless radio core (Cortex-M0+), allowing for efficient processing and real-time wireless communication. It supports multiple protocols simultaneously (Bluetooth LE, 802.15.4 including Thread and Zigbee) and includes hardware security features essential for IoT applications.
While the primary focus is on Matter for universal compatibility, the STM32WB's multi-protocol capabilities allow for additional functionality. The solution can be extended to support Zigbee or other protocols if needed, though care must be taken to ensure compliance with certification requirements.
