It’s been two long years since the launch of Matter — the one smart home standard designed to rule them all — and there’s been a fair amount of disappointment around a sometimes buggy rollout, slow adoption by companies like Apple, Amazon, and Google, and frustrating set-up experiences.
Technology
The Matter smart home standard gains support for more devices, including heat pumps and solar panels
However, the launch of the Matter 1.4 specification this week shows some signs that the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA, the organization behind Matter) is using more sticks and fewer carrots to get the smart home industry coalition to cooperate.
The new spec introduces “enhanced multi-admin,” an improvement on multi-admin — the much-touted interoperability feature that means your Matter smart light can work in multiple ecosystems simultaneously. It brings a solution for making Thread border routers from different companies play nicely together and introduces a potentially easier way to add Matter infrastructure to homes through Wi-Fi routers and access points.
Arguably, these should have all been in place when Matter launched. But now, two years later, the CSA is finally implementing the fixes that could help move the standard forward.
These are all things that should have been in place when Matter launched.
Matter 1.4 also brings some big updates to energy management support, including adding heat pumps, home batteries, and solar panels as Matter device types.
Disappointingly, security cameras didn’t make it in this time. The CSA’s CTO, Chris LaPré, tells The Verge that while support for cameras is still part of the plan, there’s no timeline for a release. However, he points out that with 1.4, Matter now covers almost every other device category in the home. Which should provide a solid foundation to move the standard forward.
However, this week’s release is just the spec. Now that it’s out, device makers and platforms can start integrating the features into their products and ecosystems. Based on the slow rollout of support for devices and features in previous versions of Matter across both manufacturers and the major platforms, it could be a while until we see any impact from Matter 1.4. Additionally, not every device or ecosystem that works with Matter is required to adopt every part of the Matter spec, so all these features may not come to every ecosystem.
The Verge reached out to Apple, Google, Amazon, and Samsung to ask if and when they planned to adopt any of the new features and device types in 1.4. As of publication, we had heard back from Amazon and Google. Both companies say they plan to adopt Matter 1.4 but didn’t provide a specific timeline.
“The Matter 1.4 update will start rolling out to supported Echo and Eero devices early next year,” says Amazon spokesperson Connor Rice. “Over time, we’ll continue to add support for new features and Matter device types as device makers release new products.” Google Home’s Jeannie Zhang said they’re actively working to implement the enhanced multi-admin feature and plan to bring support for new device types “in future.”
Here’s a look at the new features in Matter 1.4 that could be coming to your preferred Matter smart home platform someday, maybe soon.
Matter will make everyone play together nicely this time, promise
One of Matter’s main promises is interoperability between platforms — if your smart plug is Matter-compatible, it will work with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, et al. But multi-admin, as this is called, stumbled out of the gate. Not only were there frequent setup frustrations for users when trying to pair a device from one ecosystem to another, but each ecosystem has a different flow and naming convention for the process, making it hard to figure out. It’s almost like they didn’t want you to use it.
“The Matter 1.4 update will start rolling out to supported Echo and Eero devices early next year.” Connor Rice, Amazon spokesperson
Now, “enhanced multi-admin” aims to fix this by automatically adding a Matter device you pair to your main platform to any other smart home platform you’ve authorized. Daniel Moneta, the CSA’s marketing chair, explains that this is enabled by something called Fabric Sync, which allows you to authorize different Fabrics (the name for an ecosystem in Matter) to talk to each other.
For example, you can allow your Amazon Alexa Fabric to talk to your Apple Home Fabric and share data about devices. “In this way, if a new device shows up on Fabric A, it can be automatically added to Fabric B,” says Moneta. However, it’s unclear whether the correct name and location of the new device will automatically disperse to the other platforms or if you’ll still have to enter those manually. That will be up to the platforms to implement, says Moneta.
“It’s effectively just multi-admin, but all of the leg work that the users have to go through today — joining devices one at a time and generating the secondary code — all of that now happens automatically,” he says. “This is how a lot of users expected this to work in the first place — but the challenge was security, authorization, and consent, which makes those things more complicated. [Fabric Sync] addresses those concerns. It feels more seamless but is still as secure.” Importantly, he points out, the user is still authorizing a device onto their network and can turn off the connection anytime.
Enhanced multi-admin should make it possible, for example, to set up that new smart light just once using your iPhone and control it with Apple Home while also having it show up on your roommate’s Android phone, where they can control it in Google Home.
For more advanced smart homes, enhanced multi-admin should make it easier to use devices offered by ecosystems that aren’t your main platform to control your smart home. For example, Apple Home doesn’t have a smart display option. So, in theory, enhanced multi-admin will make it easier to use an Echo Hub or Google Home smart display as a physical interface in your household for controlling things like lights and locks, while using the Apple Home app and Siri on your iPhone and Apple Watch to control the same devices. Of course, this somewhat depends on the platforms supporting all the same device types in Matter, which they don’t currently.
As with all Matter features, enhanced multi-admin is optional, so ecosystems don’t have to adopt it. However, Moneta says all the big players have been actively involved in developing this solution, and he expects to see them implement it over the next year.
Wi-Fi routers get a Matter upgrade
With 1.4, we’re finally seeing home routers, modems, access points, and set-top boxes — known collectively as HRAP — arrive in Matter. Despite being on the list of compatible devices since day one, it’s only now that routers can be Matter-certified. According to the CSA, “Matter-certified HRAP devices provide the foundational infrastructure of smart homes by combining both a Wi-Fi access point and a Thread Border Router.”
The hope here is that if these common devices come with Matter baked in — or easily added via an OTA upgrade or dongle — it will speed up the adoption of Matter devices. A Matter-certified HRAP device will be both a Wi-Fi access point and a Thread border router, along with “specific Thread and Wi-Fi capabilities … to improve the functionality and user experience of Matter devices on home networks,” says Moneta.
These “capabilities” include Matter’s new solution for Thread network credential sharing, which lets the router securely store and share the credentials. This is one way to solve the problem of users unintentionally creating multiple Thread networks in their home if they get another device that is also a border router, such as an Apple HomePod or Google Nest Hub.
The Thread Group, which manages the protocol, is trying to solve this problem with its own fix, which it rolled out earlier this year. Plus, you can share Thread network credentials via your smartphone using APIs on Android and iOS. All these solutions achieve the same end result, says Moneta.
“Your next ISP router should have everything you need for Matter,” Daniel Moneta, CSA
A Matter-certified router should be able to act as a central hub for Matter, ensuring that any Matter device you have, whether it works over Thread or Wi-Fi, can join your home network securely, easily, and without you needing to buy additional hardware. “This solves the problem of having to think about infrastructure,” says Moneta. “Instead, your next ISP router should have everything you need for Matter.”
What a Matter-certified router doesn’t need to be is a Matter Controller — a device that links your Matter smart home devices to your chosen Matter platform, such as Apple Home or Amazon Alexa. Instead, the router can be platform agnostic. Meaning that your router from your internet service provider or your next cable set-top box could provide the Wi-Fi and Thread infrastructure for your smart home, and you would just need to add a Matter Controller from whichever ecosystem you want to use.
This also opens up the opportunity for ISPs and telecom providers, such as Comcast/Xfinity, Verizon, AT&T, etc., to create their own Matter-enabled smart home platforms. They’ve tried and largely failed to do this in the past, but Matter could make it easier to implement.
Currently, Amazon and Google’s mesh Wi-Fi solutions — Eero and Nest Wifi — are Matter Controllers for their respective ecosystems, but they aren’t Matter-certified routers. Google’s Zhang said they plan to support Matter 1.4 on the Nest Wi-Fi Pro.
Energy management moves front and center
Matter 1.4 expands the standard’s energy management capabilities to include more control and device types, including heat pumps, electric water heaters, battery energy storage systems, and solar power devices such as inverters, panels, and hybrid solar/battery systems. New functionality for these device types (see full details on the CSA’s website) also provides tools for companies and ecosystems to build energy management solutions on top of Matter.
“Matter 1.4 is a completion move,” says Chris LaPré. “It’s really the enabling piece for smart control of energy in your home.” Matter 1.3 added energy reporting, allowing devices such as home appliances, EV chargers, and HVAC systems to communicate data on their power usage and consumption. With 1.4, such devices can adjust start times based on how much energy they plan to use, shift usage during peak demand, and toggle between device-specific, local, or grid-wide energy. With 1.5, LaPré says they will add the final piece, enabling energy pricing information to be shared with devices.
Energy management is one of the more compelling use cases for the smart home and one that could encourage wider adoption. While today, some solutions help you balance your home’s electricity loads to use more energy when it’s cheaper or cleaner and work with demand response programs, many of these require proprietary apps, specific equipment, or a lot of legwork by a company to set up partnerships and integrate and manage many APIs.
In theory, Matter should make the process of building an energy management app much easier. “[A company] can do it once and it will apply everywhere,” says Steve Cunningham, CEO of Green Energy Options and head of the CSA’s energy management working group. Instead of making all these individual partnerships, a company should just need to add Matter to their product to provide the benefits of energy management to a user. “If it has Wi-Fi in it today, by and large, it will have enough capacity to be upgraded to communicate to Matter over Wi-Fi,” says Cunningham.
Whether all this will actually happen, though, remains to be seen. Initially, we were promised backward compatibility for many Matter products, few of which materialized. Additionally, the Home Connectivity Alliance, an industry coalition of large appliance manufacturers, is simultaneously developing a similar cross-platform solution.
However, LaPré believes that, in this case, we’ll see fairly rapid adoption from manufacturers in this space. “This is expensive infrastructure. While you might buy a new smart plug to support Matter, homeowners aren’t going to change out their $9,000 solar panels on their roof,” says LaPré. “Demand for an open standard like Matter that can connect existing infrastructure is coming from both sides, consumers and manufacturers.”

Liverpool fans jostle for a look at the on-field VAR screen at Anfield stadium
Alex Dodd – CameraSport via Getty Images
If you have watched any football – or soccer – over the past few years, you will know that the game has been consumed by controversies over its new refereeing technology. The video assistant referee (VAR) system was introduced to the English Premier League in 2019 to reduce refereeing errors and get more decisions right. Instead, it has created new kinds of uncertainty and undermined our understanding of fundamental rules like offside and handball. It has also infuriated fans, who can often be heard chanting “it’s not football any more” after a long-winded VAR check.
It is fair to say that football fans like to get irate, especially when refereeing decisions go against their team. But as I argue in my new book, I Can’t Stop Thinking About VAR, there’s more to this than meets the eye. As someone whose job involves developing new methods of measuring educational attainment, I have thought long and hard about the reasons why VAR has been so frustrating. I believe its problems relate to the challenge of pinning down objective reality, the difficulty of precise measurement and the human dislike of uncertainty.
What I have also come to realise, however, is that VAR exemplifies the limits of rationality in many walks of life far beyond the football field. As such, a brief exploration of the history of measurement more broadly – from attempts to pin down the boiling point of water in the 18th century to the struggle to accurately assess the…
The developers behind inZOI announced a 2025 early access release date on Thursday despite assurances that the hyper-realistic life sim would still launch sometime this year.
Game producer and director Hyungjun “Kjun” Kim posted an open letter to the community on the inZOI Discord saying that the game will be coming out on March 28, 2025, instead of in late 2024 so that the developers can give the game “the best possible start.”
While inZOI never received a concrete release date until Thursday, a spokesperson for the team at Krafton told PC Gamer just last month that the plan was to release it in 2024. In August, the studio released inZOI: Character Studio on Steam, a demo of its character creator. It was only up for five days, but immediately drew the attention of players who wanted to re-create fictional characters and real-life people with ridiculous amounts of detail.
Following feedback from that demo, along with various playtests, Kim said the team needed to work more to give players “the most complete experience possible.”
“It is said that among primates, raising a human child to adulthood takes the longest time because humans must be prepared to endure and adapt to their ever-changing surroundings,” Kim wrote. “The extra love and care that is required to properly nurture a child is how I see our journey with inZOI—a game that we will be nurturing together from its Early Access birth. This change in our release date represents our dedication to giving inZOI a stronger foundation, so we can embark on this journey together in the best way possible.”
InZOI is poised to be a real The Sims competitor, and is one of the few still due for release after Paradox Interactive canceled its entry in the genre, Life by You, before it could even reach early access. At the time of this writing, it’s the 12th most wishlisted game on Steam.
Caroline Ellison, former chief executive officer of Alameda Research LLC, arrives at court in New York, US, on Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2024.

Caroline Ellison, the star witness in the prosecution of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, reported to a low-security federal prison in Connecticut on Thursday, according to a spokesman for the Bureau of Prisons.
In September, Ellison was sentenced to two years in prison and ordered to forfeit $11 billion for her role in the massive fraud and conspiracy that doomed the cryptocurrency exchange once valued at $32 billion.
The federal Probation Department had recommended that Judge Lewis Kaplan sentence Ellison to three years of supervised release, with no time behind bars. Defense lawyers also had requested a punishment that didn’t include prison time.
While Kaplan praised Ellison for her extensive cooperation with prosecutors — which led to the conviction of Bankman-Fried — the judge said her criminal sentence needed to deter other potential bad actors from committing fraud.
Ellison ran Alameda Research, which was a sister hedge fund of FTX. She was also romantically involved with Bankman-Fried.
Alameda received much of the $8 billion in customer funds looted by Bankman-Fried from FTX. The stolen money was used for Alameda’s trading operation and other purposes.
Ellison reached a plea deal with prosecutors in December 2022, a month after FTX spiraled into bankruptcy. She pleaded guilty to conspiracy and financial fraud charges.
Kaplan called FTX the greatest financial fraud perpetrated in the history of the U.S., and told the court in Manhattan during the sentencing that a “literal get-out-of-jail-free card I can’t agree to.”
“I’ve seen a lot of cooperators over the years and I’ve never seen one quite like Miss Ellison,” said Kaplan, who also said he believed that Ellison was genuinely remorseful for her crimes and that her cooperation carried a steep price for her emotionally.
Late last month, Former FTX executive Nishad Singh was sentenced to time served and three years of supervised release, becoming the fourth ex-employee of the collapsed crypto exchange to be punished.
At her sentencing, Ellison read from a statement in a shaky voice while crying at times as she apologized to the people she had hurt and said she was deeply ashamed. She also said she was sorry for not being brave enough to walk away from FTX and Bankman-Fried.
Kaplan allowed Ellison to remain free on bail until surrendering to prison either on or after Nov. 7.
Bankman-Fried chose to stand trial and was convicted of all seven criminal fraud charges against him. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison in March and also was ordered to pay $11 billion in forfeiture by Kaplan.
Both Bankman-Fried and Ellison had faced the same statutory maximum sentence of about 110 years in prison for their crimes.

Smart TVs are always a great gift to pick up, no matter the holiday. And these days, good TVs are getting cheap, and expensive TVs are getting even better. In fact, the expensive TVs are leaving little reason to go to the theater to watch any type of movie. In this gift guide, we’re going to aim to bring you the best smart TVs you can buy right now, so you spend your money wisely.
Best Smart TVs
These are the two absolute best Smart TVs that you can buy this holiday season. So if money is no object, then these two will provide you with the best picture quality on the market.
Samsung S90D OLED
The Samsung S90D is perhaps the best TV that money can buy right now. Particularly when you factor in the cost. The S90D starts at $1,397 and does go as small as 42 inches. But for all of these TVs, we will be comparing the 55-inch model which is the most popular size. At 55 inches, the S90D does go for $1,797. However, it is often on sale for cheaper than that.
With the S90D, you’re getting a stunning OLED TV that does have a refresh rate of 120Hz but it can go up to 144Hz, making it great for watching sports and playing games.
Like most 4K TVs, Samsung is also using 4K AI Upscaling so that your HD and FHD content look great on this incredible OLED TV. Samsung has included Dolby Atmos and Object Tracking Sound Lite, giving you 3D surround sound straight from the speakers inside the TV. Now, unfortunately, there is no Dolby Vision included with this TV or any Samsung TV. Instead, Samsung prefers to support HLG, the open-source alternative to Dolby Vision.
This is all powered by the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, which utilizes 20 specialized networks to drive the intuitive smart TV hub, Dolby Atmos sound, and the upscaled 4K content.
Sony Bravia 8
The Sony Bravia 8 is about the same price as the Samsung S90D OLED, but it does offer better sound, without a soundbar. The 55-inch Bravia 8 is normally priced at $1,799, however it is also often on sale for less.
With the Bravia 8, Sony said they were “bringing cinema home,” and when we reviewed the Bravia 8, we agreed that they did just that. This is a stunning TV, with incredible picture quality, great viewing angles, and of course Google TV built-in.
Having Google TV built-in means that Sony is able to run all sorts of apps like Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and much more. Bravia Core is also included. Sony has also made the Bravia 8 use less power. In fact, it has also included a ton of different power saving features, so you’re electric bill doesn’t go through the roof while you’re watching TV on the Bravia 8.
Since this is an OLED TV, that means that the colors are true-to-life, and the blacks are actually black. However, this does also get pretty bright, which isn’t always true for OLED TVs. It is also supporting Dolby Vision and Atmos, along with IMAX Enhanced. Making it great for watching all sorts of TVs at home.
Best TVs under $1,000
If you have a budget of $1,000 for a new TV, then you really can’t go wrong with either of these options. They aren’t quite as good as the Samsung and Sony options above. But for under $1,000, you are still getting a fantastic TV.
TCL QM7 QLED 4K TV
The TCL QM7 QLED 4K TV is a QD-Mini LED TV, which means that you’re getting a lot of the same advantages as using OLED, but it’s much brighter. This TV is actually probably one of the best that you can buy for $799, and TCL does sell it in other sizes, up to 98-inches.
One of the main advantages that the TCL QM7 has is the amount of dimming zones it has, which is 1,500+. This allows the TV to change color more accurately, instead of giving you gray instead of black. Similar to OLED, but there’s two major advantages that QD-Mini LED have over OLED which is the brightness and no screen burn-in.
For 2024, TCL’s TVs all use Google TV as the software (next year, it’ll be all Roku, as they do switch back and forth to support both platforms). Which means you get the Google Assistant, Cast, and all of your favorite apps built into the TV, saving you a HDMI port.
This is an incredible value for under $1,000, and even at its regular price this does tend to go on sale quite often as well.
Sony Bravia 3
Also announced this year is the Sony Bravia 3, which is Sony’s entry-level TV. Which, as you likely know, Sony’s “entry-level” is still really good. This is a 4K LED TV, so it’s not Mini-LED or OLED like its other models, which is what brings the price down considerably. This 55-inch TV is $699. Sony does also sell it in 43-, 50-, 65-, 75- and 85-inch models, up to $1,098.
This TV is also part of Sony’s “Bring the Cinema home” marketing, and while it is an LED TV, it is still a really good option. For those who aren’t looking to spend a ton but still want good picture quality, this is a great option.
The Bravia 3 supports Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos, giving you a great movie-watching experience. Sony also includes some other features for the PlayStation 5, like Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode. It does also have HDMI 2.1 for 4K120 gaming.
Best TVs under $600
Looking for a good TV on a budget? We’ve got you covered, with two great TV options that are under $600. And during the holiday season, they are typically even cheaper.
Amazon Omni QLED
It’s still pretty surprising that you can get a QLED TV for under $600. The 55-inch model is normally priced at $599, though it is also sold in 43-, 50-, 65- and 75-inch models.
With this being an Amazon TV, you get Fire TV built-in. Of course, that gives you tons of apps to use on the TV, including Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and much more. Alexa is also included for voice support and controlling smart home products. Amazon claims that there are over 1.5 million movies and TV episodes available on Fire TV, so you’ll definitely find something to watch.
Amazon is supporting Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ Adaptive, HDR10, and HLG for HDR content, which is going to provide a really incredible picture for watching TV and movies. Unfortunately, the Amazon Omni QLED does not support HDMI 2.1, but it does have three HDMI ports. There are two HDMI 1.4 and one HDMI ARC port, so you can toss in a soundbar if needed.
TCL S5 Series
Rounding out our gift guide for TVs is the very comparable TCL S5. This is a cheaper TV, coming in at $329 for the 55-inch model. TCL sells this TV in sizes ranging up to 75 inches. This would be a great TV gift to give to someone going to college or to put in a spare bedroom.
The TCL S5 is a 2024 model, and uses Fire TV built-in. Giving you access to a ton of apps like Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and much more. TCL has also been able to add support for Apple AirPlay 2 as well as Google Cast. So no matter which ecosystem your smartphone is using, you’ll be able to cast content to this TV with ease.
It also has support for Dolby Vision and HDR PRO+. On the audio front, there’s Dolby Atmos available too. While the TCL S5 does not support HDMI 2.1 for gaming, it does have Auto Low Latency Mode or ALLM. Which TCL actually calls “Auto Game Mode”.
For the price of this TV, it’s pretty hard to find a better value.
The Google Nest wired indoor camera as part of an early Black Friday deal. The cam is normally $100, so this represents a savings of 30 percent. This is close to a record low price, which is never a bad thing. The sale includes three colorways, including white, beige and light blue.
The second-gen wired device is designed for indoor use, thus the name, and is capable of capturing 1080p HDR video. It’s motion sensitive and uses a bit of AI trickery to discern between people, animals and vehicles. The camera also includes night vision and an hour of event recording on the device itself, which comes in handy in the case of a Wi-Fi outage.
There’s a two-way audio function, as the camera includes both a microphone and a speaker. People can boot up the affiliated Google Home app to spark up a conversation. This app also lets you instantly call up emergency services if the conversation doesn’t go as planned, though that requires a Nest Aware subscription.
This brings us to a fairly significant caveat, though this one pops up with most modern security cameras. A whole lot of stuff is locked behind that aforementioned Nest Aware paywall, . This plan gives purchasers 60 days of video history and the ability to watch live streams on smart displays and even smart TVs. Subscribers will even receive alerts when familiar faces are recognized by the camera.
Check out all of the latest Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals here.
