Arduino launches Matter Discovery Bundle to simplify smart home and IoT development

Arduino Matter Discovery Bundle for developing and testing Matter-compatible smart home applications

The Arduino Matter Discovery Bundle has been officially announced for learning and prototyping Matter-enabled smart home devices. Built around the Nano Matter board, the bundle includes expansion hardware, sensor modules, and a structured curriculum to help developers build and test Matter-over-Thread applications.

After announcing the Arduino Nesso N1 IoT development kit and Arduino UNO Q development platform, Arduino has introduced a new development kit designed to simplify Matter-based smart home development.

The kit is called the Arduino Matter Discovery Bundle, and it's based around the Nano Matter board, a Nano Connector Carrier with Qwiic expansion support, and multiple Modulino sensor and actuator nodes, such as Latch Relay, Distance, and Thermo nodes for building and testing Matter-enabled projects.

The company also talks about a dedicated seven-module curriculum that is available to guide users from initial setup to Matter certification. By default, the Nano Matter can be used as a standalone controller, but one can use the included Qwiic-compatible carrier for solderless development.

On the software side, the development bundle runs the Matter-over-Thread stack and can communicate with existing smart home hubs via the Arduino Matter library. The company has also unveiled its new specialized learning modules that run on the Arduino Cloud platform. Its price is confirmed at the Arduino Store, and availability starts today.

It is a Thread-based kit. This means it requires a Matter-over-Thread border router (like an Apple TV 4K, HomePod, or specialized Hub) to actually connect to a smart home network. A buyer without a border router won't be able to use the "smart" features out of the box.

The Arduino Matter Discovery Bundle is available on Arduino's store for $61.04.

I’ve been obsessed with electronics since childhood, and there’s a photo of me from my fifth birthday, chewing on an RCA cable, which was probably my first “hardware experiment.” I was also the kid who tore apart DVD players, tape recorders, and toys just to see how they worked (and got scolded for it). By my teens, I was building small audio amplifiers, and in high school, I started working with microcontrollers. In college, I was designing and building my own PCBs and writing firmware mainly for Arduino-based MCUs, which made hardware my comfort zone. After graduating in 2017, I joined a small hardware startup where I learned more in two and a half years than I ever did experimenting at home. It completely changed how I approach problem-solving and product design. When the company shut down during COVID, I began turning my real-world hardware experience into technical writing thanks to CircuitDigest. Since then, I’ve written extensively about embedded systems, SBCs, and development boards for international platforms. I focus on practical, hands-on hardware because I’ve personally built, tested, and debugged the same kinds of systems I write about.
