Tuya Smart announced that it is working with Amazon Alexa to implement a streamlined setup experience based on Matter, the new industry-unifying connectivity protocol. Currently, Tuya is collaborating with Amazon Alexa to add support for FFS. FFS technology helps customers to simplify their device setup experience.

Back in 2020, Tuya completed the solutions and platform integration of FFS for Wi-Fi devices, which can directly connect Tuya devices to Amazon Echo via Wi-Fi and app control. Tuya began to develop FFS for Bluetooth Mesh electrical and lighting products from end of 2021, and is soon expecting mass production and the launch of the value-added features. In January 2022, Alexa announced the technical documents for both Frustration Free Setup for Wi-Fi and Thread-based Matter devices, and Tuya was included as a participant of the FFS beta program.

From January to August this year, Tuya focused on the Interoperability Testing of Matter products with Amazon. At the end of this year, Tuya will launch Frustration-Free Setup on Matter-certified devices to offer customers a faster and much simpler setup experience. In addition, Tuya is integrating Alexa's new Local Adapter Platform (LAP) for partners whose devices support local protocol.

LAP establishes a connection over the local wireless network between Alexa-enabled Echo devices and smart home devices allowing for faster response times and improved connectivity.
