No Matter? No problem! Imagine one smart home app to control all your devices

ZDNET reports that Copilot.cx unveiled Copilot Star, a framework enabling smart home manufacturers to build branded apps that unify control of devices across different ecosystems and cloud backends (e.g., Tuya, AWS IoT, proprietary stacks). Unlike Matter, which defines device connectivity and interoperability with ecosystems like Alexa, Apple Home, and Google Home, Copilot Star focuses on consolidating app experiences so users can manage mixed-device environments via a single app, promising faster launches and lower costs for manufacturers and improved user experience; the company is seeking partnerships and integrations.
