Helping transform the way we live, work, and play, Connectivity Standards Alliance (Alliance) Member Xthings, a global leader in IoT innovation, is at the forefront of the smart home and workplace experience. As pioneers in connectivity-friendly design, the Matter ecosystem, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) applications, and biometric recognition, Xthings is redefining the connected experience. With their flagship brand, ULTRALOQ, they’ve introduced the first UWB-enabled smart lock and biometric (fingerprint) lock integrated with Matter, accessible through the dedicated U home app. Building on this momentum, Xthings has established strategic collaborations with leading smart home platforms, including Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, Home Assistant, and Samsung SmartThings to deliver a seamless, Matter-compatible product suite featuring smart locks, plugs, switches, and lighting, all designed to unify the connected living experience.
Delivering on Matter’s Potential Through Alliance Collaboration
In 2023, Xthings joined the Alliance, recognizing the critical role the Alliance plays in advancing secure, interoperable smart home solutions and its commitment to fostering innovation and collaboration across ecosystems. With the industry rapidly evolving toward standards like Matter and emerging initiatives like Aliro, Xthings saw an opportunity to contribute to and help shape the future of the IoT. With the adoption of the Matter protocol, Xthings has since evolved its product roadmap toward Matter to better serve its global customers with a more unified, IP-based standard.
Guided by an intentional shift, Xthings has translated its commitment to smart home interoperability into real-world solutions. With the introduction of Xthings’ Matter-enabled ULTRALOQ smart lock, integration with smart lighting and sensor technologies delivers a refined and intuitive home entry experience. Upon unlocking the door, the lights activate automatically, eliminating the need for manual commands or app interactions. A tangible use case demonstrating the power of automation and cross-platform functionality, with its hands-free operation enhancing convenience and comfort. Xthings’ Matter-enabled solutions, such as ULTRALOQ, deliver reliable connectivity across major smart home platforms. Enabled by Matter’s multi-admin capabilities, this successful approach simplifies smart home integration, enhancing the overall user experience and offering greater comfort, convenience, and peace of mind.
What’s Next for Xthings
Xthings has been a strong endorser and a Member of the Alliance for several years. It is actively contributing to the development of Aliro and collaborating with Alliance Members such as NXP, Silicon Labs, and Nordic to advance secure device applications. It’s an investment of time and talent ensuring Xthings remains at the forefront of both present and emerging connectivity standards. With four Matter-certified products already deployed across North America and parts of Europe, and several more slated for release by the end of 2025, Xthings is scaling its smart ecosystem with purpose and vision.
