Matters Made EASY

Smart Homes:

Shaping Tomorrow​

The home is at the heart of our everyday lives. By introducing intelligent technology into the devices, we use daily, we transform our homes into responsive and caring environments that enhance comfort, convenience, and security while reducing our ecological footprint.​

In the past, this transformation was limited by a fragmented landscape of standards and incompatible ecosystems, stifling both cooperation and innovation in the industry.​

This has changed… ​

The 4Rooks Vision​

Matter is the game changer that has opened all major ecosystems up to innovative brands, channeling the intelligence of hundreds of companies into one unified standard that grows richer by the day.

At 4R, we believe Matter will ignite a wave of dynamic development, transforming the very nature of our homes for the better.

We want to help you become part of that transformation!

Focus on your USP instead of enabler technologies​
Solution adjusted to your needs and situation​
Standardization distributes risks and costs to many shoulders
