Have Switchbot curtain robots on one of our windows. I love them and want to put them on all of our curtains.
My wife hates them. End of project.

Completely understand. I’m the “I’m installing the beta update on day 1” then I will moan about how my system has been gimped.
In all honesty, though. The Matter stuff is working beautifully well with HomeKit. It’s opened up a universe of devices that needed a hack like HomeBridge before.
It’s an utter train wreck with Alexa though so have to use traditional skills with that.
I guess someone has to go get the experience so they can improve stuff before people like you start using it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Actually Matter works really well. Specifically if you have a HomeKit-centric set up.
I’ve not had a chance to play with Thread yet.
You have to be careful not to confuse Matter and Thread.
Matter is a protocol which works over multiple mediums including WiFi and Thread, but theoretically over any protocol (Matter over two cans and string is a possibility I guess 🤣).
Thread is meant to be the spiritual successor to Zigbee. Time will tell as to whether it comes good on its promise.
This last bit is important. Very astute and well articulated. I would have never have thought to mention that.
Well done @ankole_watusi 🙏
Still running a pair of HGST DeskStar NAS 7200 drives.
They’ve been solid. It’s a shame you can’t get them anymore.
I like it. Very elegant look.
I think his reaction would have been very different if they had lost due a decision like that.
