Are you a Matter developer? We need your help! We need you to evaluate the new Arduino Nano Matter board. We’ll send you the hardware. We pay for everything. You get it keep it forever after you post a review.
Description
Nano Matter merges Arduino’s signature ease of use with with the powerful Silicon Labs® MGM240S, wrapping the best of two worlds into one of the smallest form factors currently on the market. Experimenting with Matter-compatible devices has never been easier!
With Nano Matter, makers – at all levels of expertise – can leverage the popular Matter IoT connectivity standard to build interactive solutions, upgrade previous Nano-based projects to fully function as smart home devices, and even experiment with protocols like Zigbee® and OpenThread.
Benefits
- Matter-ready for quick prototyping, thanks to hardware support and a user-friendly software layer.
- Based on the MGM240SD22VNA from Silicon Labs, a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M33.
- Secure Vault technology: enjoy industry-leading, state-of-the art security from Silicon Labs against escalating IoT threats.
- Multiprotocol connectivity enables 802.15.4 (Thread) and Bluetooth® Low Energy
- Nano-family compact size and pinout.
- Debugging over USB via SWD interface: no external debugging probe needed!
- Low energy consumption, designed for battery powered IoT devices.

This roadtest is open for enrollment.
It would be very interesting to include two Arduino Matter boards and an Arduino ESP32 board in the kit to have a test environment built only with Arduino products.
Open Thread Border Router with Nano…
Thanks for checking rscasny .
I don't think it is a show stopper, I just wanted members to be aware that they will need to supply a Matter hub.
As you point out, there are lots of ways to get a hub…
