Matter is the foundation for connected things. It offers consumers an industry-unifying connectivity standard that securely and seamlessly connects compatible devices and systems with one another irrespective of their brand or device type.
After being among the first companies to achieve Matter certification for an air conditioner and to demonstrate a Matter-connected fan purifier and dishwasher, Midea continues to show its commitment to Matter with the demonstration of the Matter-connected X23 countertop oven at the Alliance Member Meeting in Singapore from 18th to 21st March.
With Matter-connectivity, the Midea X23 offers a fast and secure unified setup process so users can follow the same process to get connected regardless whether it is their oven, dishwasher, or air conditioner. Once set up, the Midea X23 will be able to connect with other devices that support Matter in the rest of your home regardless of brand. The X23 countertop oven represents a further milestone by welcoming in another essential home appliance into the Matter family.
Beyond Matter-connectivity, the Midea X23 already boasts a host of surprisingly-friendly features that make users life easier:
- Bake, roast, and grill with one appliance: With a wide range of cooking functions, the multifunctional X23 streamlines the cooking process to save time and space in the kitchen.
- Patented graphene technology for precise cooking: Midea’s patented graphene technology ensures efficient and uniform heat distribution for precise and consistent cooking results.
- Reduced cooking time with XpressHeating technology: Thanks to XpressHeating technology, the X23 heats up quickly and evenly, reducing overall cooking time without compromising on quality.
Patrick Serrato, Head of IoT for Midea America Corp. and a board member of the Alliance, expressed his enthusiasm for Midea’s latest Matter milestone. “At Midea, we are focused on creating surprisingly-friendly smart home appliances that are not just smart for the sake of being smart but offer real benefits. Allowing users to seamlessly operate the Midea X23 in tandem with other third parties through the Matter standard is at the heart of that.”
