## Matter turns 1.3
As one of the first in the industry, we are proud to announce that
Home Assistant is already based on the latest Matter specification: Matter 1.3!
The updated SDK should improve the reliability and compatibility of Matter
devices.

This updated version of the Matter SDK improves the reliability
and compatibility of Matter devices.
This release also improves and expands device support. Matter-based air purifier and room air conditioner devices are now supported, thermostats and other climate devices had important fixes around set points, and updates to our discovery schema ensures that we can represent more Matter data for most devices.

There are a couple of Matter devices out there that have custom clusters. Custom clusters are a standardized way for manufacturers to include non-standardized data. We want to support custom clusters and so we need to add support for each one individually. This release allows Home Assistant to be notified when the data of a custom cluster changes, instead of polling for it. This will reduce the network traffic and improve the performance of your Matter network, especially on bigger Thread networks.

We do our best, to avoid making changes to existing functionality that
potentially might have an unexpected impact on your Home Assistant installation.
Unfortunately, sometimes it is inevitable.
