Nice! Not everyone can just set up a smart home. Hopefully matter smart devices will solve that problem 🙂

@PatHiggins-Mayo 6 месяцев назад

This is a great explanation video. Thanks. Hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas

Merry xmas Brett.. Thanks for all the great informative Google related vids you have produced during the year. I have removed all my devices from Amazon and run solely on Google platform with no issues.

Nice video Brett.Would you like to review our matter thread roller shade?

I bought 3 TP-Link Matter/WiFi bulbs, 3 TP-Link Matter/WiFi plugs, and 3 NanoLeaf Matter/Thread bulbs to give Matter and Thread a try. I was motivated to do this when I realized that the Feit smart bulbs and plugs that I purchased from Costco are dependent on the Internet to work. I have had all kinds of problems getting my devices to stay available. They seem to be settling down over time. My big test was when I unplugged my modem to see if I could control the devices. That's when I learned that Google Home and Google Assistant appear to be dependent on the Internet meaning I could not control any of the devices. I need to check if I can control them via their apps. A follow-up video regarding Matter without Internet would be great.

I'm pretty sure a thread border router and a matter controller are not the same thing, even though they can be in the same device. A thread border router is just a router that connects Thread devices to your normal Wifi/ethernet network. A matter controller runs the server that Wifi and Thread matter devices actually talk to.

Seems like more of a mess using Matter. Can you demonstrate how Google can control wifi devices when the internet is down? That would be a game changer.

@MarkMcGuireD 6 месяцев назад

Wouldn’t that require thread?

@Ndlelex Месяц назад

It would probably work; you don't need to be internet enabled to have local devices liaise through wifi. Also, Thread and Matter are not interchangeable terms; it is as much possible to have thread without matter as it is to have matter without thread. Depending on the device, thread or wifi could be used as a comms channel for it to speak Matter with another device (you can speak English with me using email or telephone, as an analogy).

It's a pity that you didn't automate with 2 different companies, for example, once door sensor from mi and one from the lamp from the tplink when the door opens, the light goes on etc.

@craiglee3253 6 месяцев назад

That is a lot when you have to do it for each bulb. I think we will continue to wait until the technology improves and simplifies.

@sees-ho1ze 14 дней назад

Few months late with this question but in Gwen's room where you setup the light switch. You didn't mention it but curious what kind of bulbs you are using because that dimming doesn't work on regular bulbs. So the bulbs you are using would also have to be setup correct? And if yes then why do you need the switch?

@TechWithBrett 14 дней назад

That is actually a smart switch with dimming capability, so I don't need smart bulbs. The bulbs in the fixture are just normal dimmable LED bulbs.

@swapniljadhav1296 2 месяца назад

Have tried operating it away from home , when your Google Nest is near to device.

@annajustreads 20 дней назад

Do you have to have the light switch in order to use the lighbulb?

@TechWithBrett 20 дней назад

Yes, there needs to be power going to thr bulb.

@danslijper2830 16 дней назад

Can any dimmer light switch be used as a ceiling fan switch?

@TechWithBrett 16 дней назад

No, I would look for specific devices that are able to control fan speed or are fan supported. You can also find rf modules that have a remote that add this function.

@grahamshaw5531 6 месяцев назад

I have 2 Zemismart matter lamps. But when connected they become unavailable. Have given up with matter.

@TechWithBrett 6 месяцев назад

Since making the video the light bulb has gone offline a couple times. I might need to try an update through Tapo.

@SmartHomeHASHTAGS 5 месяцев назад

It's a shame the Matter standard couldn't decide on using a standard logo colour to put on packaging from different manufacturers.

@Chris-jy2qe Месяц назад

Can the Google Nest Hub control Matter devices that do not belong to Google?

@Ndlelex Месяц назад

I believe it should; though apparently there are still hurdles with Matter which prevent that from being a flawless experience.

@rigobertomuniz4332 6 месяцев назад

I don't have the matter options in the Google Home app.

@TechWithBrett 6 месяцев назад

Interesting. Is your Google Home app updated to the latest version?

@onedicherb 6 месяцев назад

Im still not convinced matter will matter long term. The utopia matter purports to market,ie you will no longer need multiple apps on your phone doesnt match up with the reality that smart device manufacturers need to differentiate themselves. If i can get all features on a google home hub , why would i spend money on premium devices with great feature sets. It just seems to be a race to the bottom on prices and lack of features to me. In the matter utopia i dont see an incentive for device makers to innovate.

Hey , sorry this isn’t a matter Question. I’m going on a holiday for a month and have a friend house sitting . I want invite friend to the “home” and remove myself from the “home” Will this auto cancel my subscription disabling my friends ability to view “events” ?

@TechWithBrett 3 месяца назад

Good question. I'm not entirely positive what would happen but these site tells me the subscription will stay active under the Remove yourself from a Home secrion. support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9155535?hl=en#zippy=%2Cremove-yourself-from-a-home

@brettmashado Месяц назад

@@TechWithBrett Hi , just feedback on my question. I am back from holiday and my house sitter was not able to use the Google Home App to view security cameras and doorbell . When I "left the home" my google account that is linked to the Nest account was disconnected from the "home" do all the cameras became nearly useless, 🤦‍♂I then had to spend hours reconnecting them when I returned🤦‍♂Next time I go away it might be easier to have her just turn off the cameras that are disturbing her privacy, like in the kitchen or doorbell. I didnt want to be notified everytime she had a visitor . I wish nest and home were one thing not a weird mish mash. Any way , thanks for the work you do, love your channel.

@TechWithBrett Месяц назад

Oh no Brett! Sorry you had to go through. I was wondering if that was a risk. Yeah that might be the best thing to do or even show they are unplugged for indoor cameras. Thank you for teaching me this time.

I have identical time triggered routines/automations in Alexa and Google Home. The Alexa routine runs reliably every day, whereas the Google one runs some days and not on others. There are many people complaining about the same thing. Google's answer: reboot device and check wifi setting. Rubbish, it's a Google problem. No point in buying a Nest Hub with this happening.

@matthewjohnston7071 3 месяца назад

I have a similar issue, I have 34 lights connected to google home with matter, about every two hours I have anywhere from 5 lights- all of them saying they’re unavailable. I have another app call AiDot, connect the lights the same way. I haven’t had one issue. Smart hints is the same way. It’s purely a google home issue

@Max86421 6 месяцев назад

Everything works. It doesn't Matter 🤣😂

@LV2355 6 месяцев назад

@SolarizeYourLife 5 месяцев назад

Wow, you are just a mouth piece for the industry... You failed to tell all of us, that we actually need a matter hub that actually works locally especially when the Internet goes down!!! 👎🏽😡 No Google hubs can do control locally, they are NOT matter compliant... I dare you to use a Google Hub when the internet goes down!!! And you lied about not having to download all the apps because yes you do because matter does not completely control all the aspects of the devices. Only the apps do!!! You failed us once again...
