Arduino® Matter Discovery Bundle

Build smarter and prototype faster with the Arduino Matter Discovery Bundle – your easy access to creating interoperable IoT devices using open-source hardware and Matter, the industry-backed standard used by many major domotics and AI-powered virtual assistant manufacturers today.

At its core is Arduino® Nano™ Matter, with pre-mounted headers for easy setup. The bundle also includes a plug-and-play Nano Connector Carrier with QWIIC connector, and 3 Arduino® Modulino™ nodes (Latch Relay, Distance, Thermo) to help turn your ideas into working projects in minutes.

Perfect for DIY, rapid prototyping, and smart device integration or retrofitting, the Arduino Matter Discovery Bundle was developed with users of all levels in mind. For learners and beginners, the Arduino team has developed a dedicated 7-chapter curriculum that teaches you how to build certified Matter-over-Thread products.

More about the curriculum

The online curriculum developed for the Arduino Matter Discovery Bundle includes 7 modules that alternate theoretical lessons and practical exercises for cover all the basics and get valuable hands-on experience:

1 - Introduction to Matter
2 - Setting Up the Arduino Nano Matter Board
3 - Matter Network Deployment
4 - Hands-On with Nano Matter Board
5 - Advanced Features of Matter
6 - Evaluating Matter for Your Product
7 - Next Steps and Real-World Implementation

Key benefits

• Focus on innovation: Let the Matter library handle all the complex communication, and get your product ideas off the ground faster.
• Extensive resources available: Leverage the wide range of official documentation, developer guides, tutorials, and community support available for Matter, an open-source standard with major industry backing.
• No vendor lock-in: Make your devices compatible – by design – with tons of products worldwide.
• Debugging made easy: Leverage the debugging-over-USB feature to speed up bug fixing.

Application examples to explore

• Teach modern IoT standards: Help your students learn how Matter works under the hood, understand embedded programming for smart devices, build real-world IoT nodes with full interoperability – perfect for workshops, capstone projects, and developer training programs focused on industry-relevant skills.
• Level-up your skills in the fast-growing IoT industry: The bundle is designed to be an easy gateway to new skills for self-learners, allowing anyone to get the knowledge and practice required to build real, certifiable IoT devices – removing frictions, so you can focus on experimentation.
• Leverage rapid prototyping: Reduce time-to-market for Matter-enabled products, with the ready-to-use platform that has everything you need to create smart switches, dimmers, or appliance controllers; test device interoperability across different leading ecosystems; interact with real-world actuators and systems.
• Retrofit analog systems: Add smart capabilities to legacy appliances, converting conventional electrical devices into Matter-compatible smart nodes! Lights, fans, coffee makers and much more can be controlled remotely, turned on and off according to your schedule, or integrated into home assistant setups.
• Test interoperability across IoT ecosystems: Validate your device compliance with Matter protocols, simulating real-world smart home environments for debugging or certification. Ideal for test benches or continuous integration setups in IoT development pipelines!
