Adding off of the whole "sell to apartment complex/rental owners" problem, its not just the small companies. Samsung is also going that way with SmartThings Pro. Companies are trying to force the consumer into their system with shiny doo-dads and fancy features, but at the cost of your own convenience and even potentially your privacy. One of the biggest advantages of going to something like Home Assistant.
I hate SmartThings. Originally that’s the hub I chose because it wasn’t limited to Samsung’s ecosystem, I was allowed to add so many devices from other companies, now it seems like the only options to add new devices are only Samsung devices
@@speedracer9132 That does seem that way. I also started with SmartThings, but have sinced moved on to HA. The Aeotec hub and ST Station worked for a while for me, but with lack of upgrading those options (no new central hub for the platform that supports the major smart home communication protocals (zigbee, thread, AND zwave)), along with the lack of meaningful improvements (actually allowing the two hubs to talk to each other locally, expanding/adding more storage to hold more drivers, etc.), I switched.
Without a complete standard, multi admin is going to be a hot mess. Have they learned nothing from the poorly managed of the first sets of the matter standard? It's another great idea that will be doomed by half baked implementations.
As always, thanks for another informative update, Brian. I'm still waiting for a Matter compatible product that matters to me. As I've said more than once, certain companies engineer their products to work with most of the important systems. To name a few, these are companies like Lutron, Hue, Ecobee, and Aqara. Maybe some folks need it, but many of us "regular" folks simply don't. Stay warm up there, my friend. I see it's supposed to get in the 20's next week...brrrr. It's going to get cold here, too...like about 50!
Thanks Brian. Great update. I'm still waiting for devices that Alexa can see (mostly Wi-Fi devices that SmartThings can't see) to be visible on SmartThings. Why? Because I like the flexibility of SmartThings Routines better than what Alexa offers (very crude in comparison). And I am waiting for companies that are using Wi-Fi tech like Home Depot's Hubspace, to connect with SmartThings. Right now, it only connects with Alexa (for me). For now, I have to create virtual switches to get a ceiling fan on Hubspace to be controlled in a SmartThings routine... and it only works about 50% of the time. Maybe in another 5 years. (Hopefully in 5 years there will be no more Wi-Fi smart home devices. 😊
The one thing that matters to me with these updates is that power monitoring aspect.. I would like to see an update pushed out to the useelink matter power boards I have to let me do per port power monitoring and bring that into HA as well as being able to see the battery state of devices that don't show it when used via a hub like the switchbots being used through the hub 2.
Imagine you have your mesh network installed at home and if only the new routers add the 1.4 protocol, you have to change your wifi installation to take advantage of this. I dunno if it can backwards implemented(Asus for example in their aimesh)
Asking for what you guys think about it. To cut a long story short. In my house energy management is done by 1 Zappi and 2 Eddi. Monitoring by HomeWizard. All lights and on off switching is Matter based. None of these 3 layers talk to each other. This means power measurement in 3 fold. Hopefully step by step we will see a more practical approach the next coming years. This said it is clear where to find the inspiration. One more thing. In winter time the key parameter is self consumption of the solar energy. In other words getting the kWh injection to zero. The Matter 1.4 protocol certainly is a big step in the good direction. Congratulations so far. ( I'm happy to see the first Matter 1.3 result as the Eve Energy plug gives a kWh reading in SmartThings on my Android phone. Please continue on the same path.)
Thank you for all this great information. By the way, I made a leap when I heard you speak French... I'm used to hearing you in French, but above all, I was wondering what you were talking about when I heard Shrend instead Thread 😂
Im using an aqara m3 matter router with 40+ aqara devices in home assistant. The problem is the hub is only sharing very basic entities or not sharing the devices at all with home assistant.
Hi ! Personally still waiting for cameras to be Matter compatible, with 4K, PTZ, 2 way audio and motion events support included ! Also Amazon, Apple, Aqara, Google, Samsung and Tesla to go all in the latest Matter versions ! (also Atlantic, Netatmo and Somfy but more in an European style company 😉) I know that it won’t be an issue for Home Assistant 🤩 Thanks for the video and making some light to the Matter protocol !
With Matter 1.4, If I have a Matter-compatible Wi-Fi access point with built-in Thread border router support, will I be able to use it as a hub to commission devices with Matter apps from any ecosystem, such as Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, and ThingStream? Currently, each ecosystem’s app requires its own hub, which seems like a limitation in Matter, as users would need multiple hubs for different ecosystems.
The short answer is yes. The long answer is the app needs to have access to the Thread network. One of the big updates on Thread 1.4 was related to IPs and was intended to help this.
But why currently users can not use other ecosystems hubs with any other ecosystems apps? I understand Thread 1.4 changes related to IPs If thread was only limitation then Matter over WiFi should work with any hub using any matter app from any ecosystem. Why It does not work?
@@AutomateYourLife I understand Matter 1.4 is not implmented but all major ecosystems have Matter 1.3 now so matter over WiFi devices should work by using any Matter app from any ecosystem irrespective of the hub being used. Yes with Matter 1.4, Thread devices will also come.
The fact that Matter ready routers are being created as an answer to off-loading routers of actual components really does help out alot. One method I had to try was to turn off a router's discoverability and only utilize it after finding the MAC address to whitelist on the Smart Home Router component. I also have been finding that keeping things adhoc or off ISP reliance due to the issue of it turning into some "giant annoying ad" than actually making a smart home. As for the energy management system being heavily commercialized, its not going to go far since HOAs currently do not approve solar panels still, so the companies cannot get far if the hurdle of home modifications since HOA is trying to make houses resellable. The updated occupancy standard would be adored in my family since they want to keep things very modular with my designs. (We technically have assigned seats, so it would help moderate energy levels in the correct area.) Oh and understanding smart home security systems like Vivint or ADT also REALLY helps with bed time security setups once you fully understand how to program it all to work with other systems. For example, I told my family that arming the house before bed will turn off the air purifying dyson fan since it discourages smoking in the house.
Strangely when i play your video on my Apple TV 4k the audio is switching (automatically) between French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish!!! The English soundtrack is not here. It's only happening only on this channel and on THIS VIDEO ONLY, yet on my iPad it's in English 😮
I think it's cause we allowed YT to test out their new AI languages on our channels. I imagine Reed likes having the new features like I do. Looks like it bit us a bit today
I'm looking forward to enhanced multi-admin, assumably including credential sharing. My Thread network is weak and it would be nice to have all the Thread hubs I already have working together. It would be even better to get that from Zigbee, but I guess I won't hold my breath. I also like the enhanced control options being added. Right now, I have some Govee Matter devices that I'm using in Alexa with the old school cloud integration because you can do SO much more than Matter allows at present. I'd also really like to see those duplicate devices in Alexa go away and maybe we're working towards that with some of these updates? Maybe?
Thank you for the very informative video. Should I hold off on purchasing new non Matter devices? In other words will existing devices set up on Wi-Fi or smart things for example be upgraded via software to be Matter compatible?
Generally, we haven't seen a lot of devices be upgraded to be matter compatible when they are Wi-Fi based, so I wouldn't say that there is necessarily a reason to hold off on purchases. Sometimes we are seeing companies create a new version that is matter compatible and so if you want to wait for that then I think that's reasonable. It all depends on your timeline for wanting the features or functionality in your home
@@AutomateYourLife thanks for the quick reply. I was considering switching out my outlets to smart outlets, say the Eve with matter (US$50) versus Kasa (US$15) non matter. I have smarthings hub V2 and Echo Plus v2 as matter hubs - is it worth it to pay more for the matter capable outlets or is it possible the Kasa outlets could be upgrade to matter capable with software? As I understand it some devices do not have the requisite hardware for matter - is that accurate? (as an aside a video on smart panels, breakers, outlets, plugs comparison would be a great video - nothing is really out there on the subject)
Finally multi admin uodate but please let it work better, BUT the main fix to matter that should hopefully finx most issues will be THREADS update next yearto remove all but 1 thread network from your home, hopefully. But when will we actually bet both as ompanies taked 6 to 9 to implement updates unfortunately.
I've noticed that wifi devices tend to require their own apps or just be cheap and even thread stuff is overusing ip addresses and over consuming access point resources even with wifi 6E (Havent upgraded to wifi 7 yet). On the other hand, the devices that work the best are still zwave but manufacturers arent asvertising that..
@@AnimeMangaBazinga yeah they are using IP with Thread now. It's because it's tough to find programmers for non IP gear (mostly) is what I've been told
@AnimeMangaBazinga I tend to avoid any home gear requiring wifi now if Bluetooth or Z-wave is an option but my home + home office network is probably 64 zwave devices, 40-50 Bluetooth, and the router says roughly 120 active dhcp leases with a timeout of 1-2 days. Looking through the dhcp table, every samsung appliance or nest smoke alarm or ups/power bank or specific light fixtures and dozen cooking gadgets, including the meat thermometer ... maybe 30 of those were advertised as matter first. It's just horrible, but at least the newer wifi with multiple bands and density optimization and several access points makes it work... this would have broken older generations set up. Still, home automation is best when you put the right devices on the right frequency and protocol; Defaulting to everything being 2.4ghz with individual ip addresses is stupid. Zwave is perfect for low bandwidth simple power efficient devices that need to be reliable. Bluetooth has very specific uses. Even zigabee has its pros. Wifi made sense for complicated high bandwidth devices like cameras. Matter seems to make integration and setup of new devices a little easier, but it's being implemented silly.
I feel like the dehumidifier will fit under small appliances improvements being made. We'll see. But some of the choices do feel backwards to those of us who have been building for a while!
When it comes to app integration current day matter reminds me alot of Windows plug and play of 20 years ago... Like they are very similar experiences given that Matter today you can just add devices to it but you still very much need the apps that came with the devices... Unlike plug a play today when the vast majority of devices don't even come with druvers uniquet to them much less then a peice of softwear you very much need to the get the most out of them.... So I can see in the future smart devices on matter being the same way as plug and play devices today... Also I could see android and windows having native matter support so you won't need to have an app at all... Atleast windows anyway.
i hate using Matter. I won't add any more devices until I can add them directly in HA using my open thread border router and i can use things like the thread radio in my Apple TV to extend my open thread border router thread network. Does 1.4 allow this?
@@AutomateYourLife Sure.. it's always "a while" with Matter. It was supposed to be "open source" - well that was the selling point all those years ago - when it was developed.

I like the idea of matter but I freaking hate how it works because it constantly goes down and then I got to re pair them because they won't come back online no matter how many times I restart the hub and router.
I find Matter products fall off with Thread cause my network isn't good enough. Some wifi ones still do, but it depends on the maker much more than anything else. At least that's what I've found!
@AutomateYourLife ya I know what you mean like my aqara P2 matter over thread door sensors are the ones that give me the most problems and sometimes I want to get the zigbee ones because the p2's go offline for any little thing that happens with my hubs or my mesh router. But when everything does work it's just beautiful.
Matter … full integration across everything through a method of siloed and disjointed implementation. Slightly better, maybe, but not what Matter should be at this point.
