Matter 1.5 + tiny Matter module
The Matter protocol's next update (building on 1.5) improves camera and doorbell interoperability, video streaming and cross‑brand automations. Concurrently, Murata unveiled a tiny Type 2FP module (NXP RW610‑based) that supports Matter‑ready Wi‑Fi 6, BLE 5.4, 802.15.4 and EdgeLock security—handy for compact HomeKit/Matter device prototypes.

Matter 1.5 formally adds whole new device categories — cameras, closures (windows/gates/garage doors), soil sensors and expanded energy-management attributes — as part of the specification released November 20, 2025. (csa-iot.org)) The spec standardizes camera media handling with native WebRTC (including STUN/TURN for NAT traversal), a new TCP transport and “large message” support to move images and heavier payloads more reliably than earlier UDP-only flows. (csa-iot.org)) Matter 1.5.1, published March 31, 2026, introduces multi‑stream camera delivery (simultaneous optimized feeds within one session), expanded snapshot and recorded-format support (HEIC snapshots; HLS/DASH uploads using CMAF Interface‑2), and refinements for doorbell/chime and PTZ behavior. (csa-iot.org)) Murata’s tiny Type 2FP is sold under part LBEE0ZZ2FP and is built around NXP’s RW610 wireless MCU (Arm Cortex‑M33, ~260 MHz), with the module measuring roughly 12.0 × 11.0 × 1.5 mm. (murata.com)) The Type 2FP ships with ≈1.2 MB SRAM and 16 MB flash, an external PSRAM interface (expandable to 128 MB), exposes SDIO 3.0/USB/SDIO/USART/SPI/I2C peripherals and is offered as a hostless module that supports Matter provisioning over Wi‑Fi/Thread/Ethernet. (everythingrf.com)) Murata/NXP security stacks on the Type 2FP include NXP EdgeLock Assurance, EdgeLock 2GO provisioning, a TrustZone‑M TEE, hardware crypto accelerators, TRNG and PUF-based root‑of‑trust — credentials aimed at easing Matter certification and reducing external security‑IC needs.
