TuyaOpen Adds Support for Silicon Labs SiWx917 Low-Power Wi-Fi SoC

(NASDAQ:SLAB) Silicon Labs and (NYSE:TUYA, HKEX:2391) Tuya Smart announced support for Silicon Labs' SiWx917 wireless system-on-chip (SoC) in TuyaOpen, Tuya's open-source development framework. The integration enables developers using TuyaOpen to access a low-power Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth LE hardware option for connected devices. The SiWx917 SoC uses half the energy of competing Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth LE SoCs. The SiWx917 platform integration is available through Tuya's open-source repositories. The TuyaOpen IDE provides AI-assisted coding capabilities to help developers create and refine application code within the TuyaOpen framework. Platform code and support for the Silicon Labs BRD2605A and Sekorm SiWx917 AI development kits are available for evaluation purposes. The SiWx917 combines Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth LE connectivity with an Arm Cortex-M4 application processor, hardware-based security, and power management. The TuyaOpen integration includes support for the Silicon Labs BRD2605A SiWx917 Development Kit and the Sekorm SiWx917 AI Development Kit, which provide hardware for prototyping and evaluating applications using the SDK. TuyaOpen offers a C/C++ software framework and a hardware abstraction layer to separate application code from chip-specific functions. The TuyaOpen IDE brings project setup, compilation, device programming, and serial log debugging into one environment, and offers AI-assisted development capabilities, including natural-language assistance for generating and adapting application code. TuyaOpen's ecosystem connects device development with cloud-based services and multimodal AI offerings. The TuyaOpen SDK and SiWx917 platform integration are available through open-source repositories, with documentation and development resources provided online. As of June 30, 2026, the Tuya AI Developer Platform had over 2,092,000 registered AI developers from more than 200 countries and regions. Irvind Ghai, Vice President of Wi-Fi at Silicon Labs, stated that support in TuyaOpen makes SiWx917's capabilities available to developers building products for the Tuya ecosystem. Hsuan Han Lai, Head of TuyaOpen at Tuya Smart, said that the SDK integration and supported development boards provide a starting point for evaluating designs that use low-power Wi-Fi connectivity and AI-assisted development tools.

Silicon Labs Advances Large-Scale Matter Deployments with 200-Node Matter-over-Thread Validation Network

(NASDAQ:SLAB) Silicon Labs announced the successful deployment and operation of a 200-node Matter-over-Thread validation network, demonstrating the scalability, reliability and performance of Matter for large-scale smart building, commercial IoT and next-generation smart home applications. The deployment was conducted across Silicon Labs' Boston Connectivity Lab and office environment, with devices distributed throughout the facility and exposed to real-world wireless conditions including active Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth and Thread traffic. Key findings include 100% commissioning success using on-network commissioning, reliable multicast and multi-hop unicast communications with mean multicast latencies as low as 87 ms, and less than 1% packet loss across most payload sizes. The network tested multicast messaging, unicast communications, commissioning workflows and long-term network stability under deployment-like conditions. The company projects that Matter-over-Thread can support commercial-scale lighting, building automation and large IoT deployments. Silicon Labs supports the latest Matter specifications, including Matter 1.6 capabilities, and provides OpenThread Border Router solutions and Concurrent Multiprotocol Technology across its latest wireless platforms, including MG26 and Series 3 devices. The complete Matter Large Network Performance report is available at https://www.silabs.com/wireless/matter/matter-over-thread-large-network-performance-testing.
