Overview

• Matter 1.4.1 introduces multi-device QR codes, enabling users to set up multiple devices, such as smart bulbs or plugs, with a single scan.
• NFC onboarding allows users to pair devices by tapping their phone near the device, eliminating the need for QR code scanning.
• The Enhanced Setup Flow now integrates manufacturer terms acceptance directly into smart home controller apps, reducing app-switching during setup.
• This release marks the first 'minor update' under a new naming convention, with major new device categories delayed until late 2025.
• Developers can begin implementing these features, though consumer availability depends on manufacturer and platform adoption timelines.
