Matter
The cross-platform smart home standard this driver is certified against. A single Matter certification lets a device work with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Home Assistant, instead of needing separate integrations for each ecosystem.
Matter over Wi-Fi
Matter running directly over the home Wi-Fi network. No extra hardware needed — used by the ESP32C3 variant of this driver.
Matter over Thread
Matter running on Thread, a low-power wireless mesh protocol. Requires a Thread Border Router already active on the network. Used by the ESP32H2 variant of this driver.
ESP32C3
Espressif's RISC-V Wi-Fi + Bluetooth LE chip. In this driver, it's the chip behind the Wi-Fi/Matter-over-Wi-Fi variant.
ESP32H2
Espressif's RISC-V 802.15.4 (Thread/Zigbee) + Bluetooth LE chip. In this driver, it's the chip behind the Thread/Matter-over-Thread variant.
Thread Border Router
A device that bridges a Thread mesh network to the regular Wi-Fi/IP network. Required for any Thread device — including the ESP32H2 driver variant — to actually connect to the internet or a hub. An Apple TV 4K or HomePod mini can act as one; ReZ-TI also sells a dedicated Thread Border Router.
CCT / Tunable White
A driver or fixture that blends two LED channels — warm and cool — to adjust color temperature continuously, rather than staying fixed at one color temperature.
Constant-current LED driver
A driver that supplies a fixed current (here, switch-selectable between 150–280mA) to the LED load, rather than a fixed voltage. Matched to the LED's forward-voltage curve for stable, even output.
SELV
Safety Extra-Low Voltage. This driver's output side is SELV-rated, meaning it's safe to touch under normal conditions.
