## AI overview

This tutorial explains how Matter Bridges allow non-Matter IoT devices, such as Zigbee devices, to operate within a Matter ecosystem. It introduces bridged devices, the Matter data model, and the commissioning workflow for a Matter-Zigbee Bridge.

## Source excerpt

Several big IoT ecosystems have announced integrated support for Matter, e.g., Amazon, Apple, Google and Samsung. It's exciting to expect that more and more devices from multiple brands work natively together, under a bigger Matter ecosystem. Meanwhile, people may have a question: There are many IoT products in the consumers' home already, these can be the devices based on Zigbee, Z-Wave, BLE Mesh and others. Could these non-Matter devices work together with Matter ecosystem? The answer is YES.
