Great summary! That really helps to understand the various parts of A Matter system.

@SteveDOES Год назад

Thanks Larry.

@5-0pizza Год назад

Great video and very informative.

@derekb4life 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for this informative video. Now I have a clear indication of what smart products to buy. I can see thread products on the EVE app and hoping the one day there will be an app or apps that will show MATTER products in my home.

@ragingsilver Год назад

to be honest, this should've been like this from the beginning if companies weren't so greedy. Matter changes everything and should be headache and more choice of smart device to buy :D

@soundmapper 8 месяцев назад

I think it needed to be a bit chaotic for competition to help build the infrastructure. There have been attempts to do this before. It's why we have had "works with" products.

@smatlanta1 6 месяцев назад

I would have never found that in a million years. Thank you! Now I wish Amazon would let me change my Network Name and Password on the site and then automatically update all of my Amazon Basic Smart Bulbs without having to reset EVERY one of them separately. (If there is a faster way to do that please let me know) Thanks again!

Hello can you try to use only one matter router and then setup a device as for me it’s interesting can we use matter routers from any brands kinda nest hub with Samsung eco system

@renedominguez9628 Год назад

Great video on matter. I have more of an understanding on how matter works. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks

@SteveDOES Год назад

Happy to hear that!

@mariahcheeseborough7572 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for breaking it down. I use LG ThinQ as my eco system. If I’m saying that right. LG doesn’t have a speaker or audio device that uses ThinQ but I did see i can add Matter compatible devices to my home eco system. So hoping to find a speaker to add to my home devices that I can control through the LG ThinQ app.

@olefriisheesgaard2906 9 месяцев назад

Hi Thanks for a great video. You show that Matter have to use wifi Thread or Bluetooth , But how can Hue Them be Matter compatible? Br OFH

@Rockovissi Год назад

I bought a Wiz bulb that said was getting a firmware update to support Matter, two months later it got it. It wasn’t connecting as a Matter device. So I bought an Orein bulb by Aidot with the Matter logo and that connected as a Matter device. However, I bought a Tapo smart outlet by TP-Link that has the Matter logo and that did not connect as a Matter device. I have two Echo Dot 3rd gen and one Echo Show 5. So it’s all over the place. Firmware is all up to date.

@gregneil612 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for explaining so clearly. (I just wish I had seen it two weeks ago). I recently attempted to begin a smart home experience by buying a light globe that I wanted to have turn on and off at a particular time. The salesperson in the store suggested a Nanoleaf globe (which was Matter enabled) and told me I would only need HomeKit which is on my 2015 Apple tv. I was able to set up the light globe through the Nanoleaf app, but when I tried to make the timer automation I discovered that this could only be done through Apple HomeKit which required a border router. I called the store where I had purchased the globe and the salesperson was unaware of the border router requirement. He suggested I call Apple Care, which I did. I spoke to a HomeKit specialist who was also not familiar with border thread router. I explained that from my research I had discovered that I would need to either spend $150 on a HomePod mini (the cheapest price in Australia), or a new Apple tv ( $250). I thought that this was ridiculous to spend that money to make a $30 light globe switch on and off automatically. I ended up returning the light globe.

@saninnsalas Месяц назад

So, that means that if I have a matter abled device, I do not need a "dongle" like zwave or zigbee, if I do not care for thread support?

@nickpanzeca7640 Год назад

Apple TV 4K is a thread border router? Which generation would that be? Thank you

@SteveDOES Год назад

I read that it's the 2021 and 2022 models.

@jperez007 8 месяцев назад

It would’ve been good to talk about Matter without Thread. Are hubs/routers needed, etc?

@abc123fhdi Год назад

Pretty lame that they don't make the basic echo a hub so you have to spend some money to get that feature even if you already have an echo. I do have the latest Apple TV however so I can use that. I'm assuming it can be used as a hub with Amazon compatible devices that are also matter compatible.

@hometechUK Год назад

Matter Is still flaky, EVE matter out of the box plug here in the UK connected to the Nest Hub 2 keeps going offline more times than online, even with all the latest firmware?

@SteveDOES Год назад

I'm having issues were the Nanoleaf Essentials bulb keeps showing offline in SmartThings. It's working fine in Alexa though. Overall, it's frustrating.

@couchpotatter Год назад

Do Zigbee and Zwave convert to Thread tech? or do we need to buy new devices?

@Sheepy007 9 месяцев назад

If you have to ask “do we need to buy new devices” then the answer will always be ‘Yes’.

@SmartHomeHASHTAGS Год назад

Thanks for that simpler description, though it got a little murky around Thread. I wished that you had talked about the Thread Border Routers before the Leader, Routers and End Points, because without a Border Router the rest is useless. I don't know if Matter will become a worldwide standard as there is no mention of it on the Australian Google Store under smart displays. Looks like it's just the US and UK.

@SteveDOES Год назад

Hmm, sorry about that. Even though Matter has officially been released, they still need everyone to fully adopt it moving forward for it to get a foothold. If that doesn't happen in the US and UK, then the rest of the world was saved a headache. haha

@SmartHomeHASHTAGS Год назад

@@SteveDOES your right, we should the conside the British and Americans as guinea pigs of the smart home world. But most of the time it never goes past the experimental stage.

@carlw 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the update. I have to admit, I'm still confused. Do I have to now change my ISP's wifi router to IPV6? Does the lead border router replace my ISP wifi router?? 😭😭 I'm confused.

@SteveDOES 3 месяца назад

No, you don't need to change your ISP's WiFi router. You can just add a Thread Border router to your current setup. No need to replace anything.

@carlw 2 месяца назад

@@SteveDOESSorry, just seeing this now (??) Anyway, thanks, THAT now makes more sense to me. Learning curve 😬

@Gk2003m 6 месяцев назад

7 months later. A Matter smart home explained: not that smart. If you’re already mostly configured with Zigbee, Zwave, etc, do not begin swapping out just to have Matter. It’s been badly implemented, with no real standardization, by the very companies that created this ‘standard’.

@andrewraymond3657 4 месяца назад

Totally. It stinks of price fixing to me.

So matter doesn’t matter yet. 😅

@SmartHomeHASHTAGS Год назад

No it doesn't. And it's only available in the US and UK. 🤷

As a Matter of fact, you're correct. ;)

True that, brother.

@TeamGB-Diving Год назад

What has got me is that I will have to replace ALL my smart home stuff. This is a absolute joke. According to what I have read is Echo now supports Thread and Matter. But devices that are thread compatible as of yet will not connect to my Echo which is now a thread border router. I have three Nanoleaf Essential Bulbs which will work with my updated Echo. I cannot afford to replace these. So frustrating, it seems Matter is just away for companies to make more money.

@SmartHomeHASHTAGS Год назад

ONLY if you want Matter do you have to replace your smart home stuff. The way your controlling your devices will continue.

@TeamGB-Diving Год назад

@@SmartHomeHASHTAGS I find using a WiFi / Cloud system it can be a bit hit and miss with reliability. I find it frustrating that a new protocol comes along and you can’t use it. Instead to use it you have to replace the tech you have. Even with a mesh system the problems still exist, bulbs offline, devices unresponsive, rebooting the device. It can all be a pain in the ass. 😂🤣😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@SteveDOES Год назад

At this point, i wouldn't buy a new product just for Matter. If everything is working now, stick with it. Also keep in mind that brands will be updating SOME devices to be Matter compatible.

@TeamGB-Diving Год назад

@@SteveDOESThank you for the reply it was very much appreciated. I have just ordered a second HomePod Mini for the Nanoleaf bulb in my moms reading light to connect too so she can turn it on and off, I hope thread connectivity will improve the reliability of this for her. Still going keep the Amazon Echo & Dots. Got a mixed bag of smart home gadgets. My Yeelight bulbs will not be updated to matter, the Hue bulbs I am not sure about, Tapo smart plugs aren’t going to be updated, Not sure about Govee. The Nanoleaf Essentials Matter bulbs from what they have told me will need a Nanoleaf light fitting with a built in border router for the bulbs to work with Alexa. Matter was supposed to make things easier, it’s fast becoming a cash cow. I won’t be buying anything else until this does what they promised. 👍🏻👍🏻 But I was thinking about getting Aquara🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔.

@Sheepy007 9 месяцев назад

To be honest, all of those things sound very much like the same things that were originally announced with Zigbee, than IFTT, then CHoIP and now matter. Smart home is a goddamn mess

@MrAtomBee Год назад

one ring to rule them all. Dont fall for it. Give this tech ten years it hasnt even hatche from the egg yet

@Bigglare Год назад

You don't have to worry about what connects to what. You have to think Thread not Matter. Thread just treat as Zigbee's bastard step brother. More devices better mesh. Onvis has a Thread Smart plug thats Matter for $10 a pop. Buy a 4 pack of those and just as you would plug a smart plug in different rooms for zigbee, do the same with Thread. Matter over wifi devices, you just treat like any other wifi device, except they are universal you NEVER need to bother with a brands app.

@SmartHomeHASHTAGS Год назад

Matter will be confusing for the everyday person. Not all Matter will be thread.
