What is a Matter smart home bridge?
Matter Bridges are devices that connect different communication protocols and allow devices using those protocols to work together. For example, a Zigbee-to-Matter bridge can connect existing Zigbee devices to a Matter network, allowing them to be controlled via the same Matter apps as all other Matter devices. A Matter-enabled bridge translate the Matter commands to the appropriate protocol for the connected devices. Examples of bridges include the Philips Hue Bridge and the Samsung SmartThings Hub.
