I was involved with the beta of Matter and hubitat. Overall it was good but several devices were horrible. Most notably the Meross matter outlets. They were terrible. Also to note. The next iteration of the phone app will have access to the ios/android bluetooth stack so at that point Hubitat will be able to commission matter devices. That said I agree it can be a pain.
Excellent video. I currently have only 1 matter device (Third Reality Night Light). It has stayed connected to my Hubitat C8 without any issues so far. I definitely agree that Matter appears to be more trouble than it is worth at this point. Hopefully at some point in the future it will be more reliable. Until then I will stick with what actually works and works well and that isn’t Matter.
The only way to avoid the "craptacular" UI of Habitat is to use HACS to integrate your Habitat with HomeAssistant. Simple rules creation in the Habitat. Way better visuals in HA.
This is interesting, I’ve been using around 12 Wiz Matter WiFi bulbs, 2 Nanoleaf LED Strip Matter over Tread, and my Aqara hub over Matter, in Apple Home with an Apple TV 4K and a HomePod Mini and they all are reliable.
@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1As much as I like Paul, the last 2 years has been one commercial after another covered up by humor. I used to learn from Paul's videos, now I just sigh.
