Expanding Next-Generation Smart Technology
Tuya’s journey with the Alliance began in 2018.

In 2020, Tuya’s commitment to advancing IoT innovation earned the company a seat on the Alliance’s Board of Directors, cementing its leadership role in shaping the future of open IoT standards.
Since joining, Tuya has integrated several Alliance technologies into its offerings, starting with Zigbee 3.0, which it leverages to enhance device-to-device communication. In 2021, they embraced Matter, the new industry-unifying standard, becoming a promoter and contributor to its development. Most recently, in 2024, Tuya became an active supporter of Aliro, the Alliance’s upcoming solution, aiming for secure, interoperable access control. Each step forward reflects Tuya’s strategy to remain at the forefront of next-generation smart technology, ensuring its customers have access to the most reliable and future-proof solutions.
Scaling Matter with Real-World Impact and Adoption
Tuya’s work with Matter is driving meaningful progress. The company not only participates in technical standard-setting but also delivers comprehensive Matter solutions, including hardware modules, software applications, cloud services, and other offerings. These solutions support multiple protocols, including Matter over Wi-Fi, Thread, Ethernet, and Bridge, giving customers maximum flexibility. Tuya’s Matter-compatible solution now supports over 20 different product categories, including lighting, smart plugs, sensors, window coverings, robot vacuums, and door locks. This robust product support has enabled more than 50 global brands to go from concept to market, helping them launch and scale Matter-certified products with confidence.
The impact of Tuya’s investment in Alliance technologies is clear. Millions of Tuya-enabled Matter smart devices have now been deployed in residential homes, hotels, apartments, and commercial spaces. Compared to 2023, the volume of deployments in 2024 grew fivefold—a reflection of strong market demand and Tuya’s ability to deliver scalable, interoperable solutions quickly.

They provided a complete turnkey solution from development and testing to certification, drastically reducing both development cycles and costs. By the third quarter of 2024, Tuya’s Matter products were reaching consumer homes, and model homes in numerous U.S. states had deployed Tuya-enabled whole-home solutions. With simplified installation, enhanced security, and more seamless interoperability, the Tuya AIoT Developer Platform helps users easily adopt smart technology while unlocking new business opportunities and market segments for customers.
