Tuya Smart Launches Its Latest Solutions that will support Matter for Global Customers

NEW YORK,Aug. 31,2022 --"Is there a way to simply use one app to control all of the smart devices in my home? I don't want to have just one brand or download different apps to control multiple devices." Up until now,this has been the common plight of many smart home users,constantly struggling with the inability to interconnect devices from different brands and ecosystems,across different protocols.

Tuya Smart(hereinafter called Tuya)(NYSE: TUYA,HKEX: 2391),a global IoT development platform service provider,has been expanding its commitment to promoting universal open standards that enable IoT products to securely connect and interact.

And this is where Matter comes in. Matter is a communication and application layer connection protocol bythe Connectivity Standards Alliance (the Alliance),supported by over 280 companies,including Google,Amazon,Apple,and other early participants like Tuya.

The goal of Matter is to solve the fragmentation problem in the smart home industryby building a unified 'language' to eliminate the compatibility issues between different product ecosystems. Thus,it is also Tuya's mission to have usersenjoy a unified and integrated application without worrying about the interaction between varying communication protocols across different devices.

On August 25th,Tuya officially launchedits latest product solutions that will support Matter,which will enable global customers to become part of the firstgroup toleveragetheMatter protocols and help themto seize business opportunities in the smart home industry.

Tuya's second episode of the video series,'What's It For' clearly demonstrates the features and value of Tuya's built-for-Matter solutions. 'What's It For' is a popular column created by Tuya this year,which helps makes relatively complex technological concepts and knowledge simple to understand for those who don't share an extensive technology background.

Here are the main requests from manufacturers regardingMatterdevices:

Request I: To seize business opportunities faster. The biggest concern of manufacturers is that the time frame of development and certification is too long. Tuya's solutions that will support Mattersolve this problem by providing a quick process for product development and certification. In the future,Tuya will create a one-stop development platform,similar to that already available for Wi-Fi,Bluetooth,and Zigbee,to help customers complete the development of Matter devices cost-effectively.

Request II: To enable more categories to connect to Matter devices. So far,the Matter protocol cannot support every category of smart device. Allowing more device categories to connect to Matter will enable manufacturers to build up completesmart scenes and automationsto better assist users in making decisions.

Tuya will not only provide customers with a Bridge Hub,but also other hubs such as those for Central Control,Smart Speaker Hub,and Multi-Protocol interaction,which helpcustomers realize the automatic interconnection between Matter devices and non-Matter devices within the local network.

RequestIII: To break the restrictions of LAN and realize cloud-based device management. Matter is acommunication protocolbased on LAN,rather than cloud-based device control. To match users' expectations for remotely-controllable scenes,by connecting the Powered by Tuya App to Tuya IoT PaaS,users can realize remote control andoperate smart devices from different brands such as Google,and Apple. A smart life experience like this will be certain to continually meet users' expectations.

Request IV: Acquire more customized functions. Tuya's solutions that will support Matter not only provide basic device control functions but also offer customized selections in order to help customers realize multi-function controls to attract more users.

In addition,based on years of marketing and application experience,Tuya also provides full-service support whencustomersdevelop Matterdevices. For example,Tuya's solutionscan help first-timeMatter device manufacturers to manage information and upgrade OTA without rebuilding the DCL server,by using Tuya IoT PaaS; Moreover,Tuya's solutionscan providecustomers with automatic manufacturing technologyto attach each product with a unique distribution network code to avoid wrong code marks; Furthermore,Tuya,as along-term ecosystem partner of Amazon,Google,and Apple,helps customersto acquire Matter Badge certificationsas well asWWA,WWGA and WWAH Badge certifications.

So far,Tuya has a range of product solutions that will support Matter,such as those for electrical,lighting,sensing,home appliances,and multimedia products. Tuya will work with other Matter protocol participants to ensure the development of a continually expanding range of Matter-compatible products.

Compared with other solutions,Tuya's solutionsfor Matter provide global customers with a more flexible way to connect multiple smart devices and strengthensupport for a globally connected smart ecosystem.

Tuya's consistent efforts in building anopen and neutral globalsmart ecosystem,promoting the application of the Matter protocol,and launching its latest solutions for Matter,all contribute to breaking down the ecosystem barriers and making "all things connected,intelligently" possible.

All measures taken are crucial to Tuya's global customers,especially our Chinese partners. If their smart devicescannot fit and align with major product ecosystems while promotingin global markets,they will run high risk of losing market share capitalization opportunities. Tuya's solutions that will support Matter ensure customers can seamlessly align with major smart home ecosystems such as Google,etc. as well as providing Chinese overseas doing business internationally to become market pioneers and seize cutting-edge business opportunities in the smart home industry.

As a promoter of the Matter protocol,Tuyawill reserve a space in its showroom this September at IFA Berlin,specifically for exhibiting Matter and to welcomeglobal developers to experience Tuya's solutions for Matter.

Tuya's solutionsfor Matter will bring a range of positive impacts to the global smart home industry,and will also encourageover 582,000 developers in more than 200 countries and regions in the Tuya ecosystem to become Matter device developers. From the early device connection to ecosystem development,Tuyahas always been a contributor to the open and shared smarthome industry,and will always be committed tothe creed of 'get all things connected,intelligently'.
