Hey there, Matter is picking up traction. A lot of new devices support this standard. And even more will. Just click on “show all participants” on this site: https://buildwithmatter.com/ Did Athom already make an official statement? I cant find anything… Kind regards, Jan

By the looks of it, convergence on Matter is going pretty slow, I personally doubt there will be much demand for it in the next two years (if ever). It would hardly be unreasonable if a new product generation is required to support…

Agreed, releasing Bridge without provisions for Thread might prove to be a poor decision, depending on if Matter gains any real traction. I think that remains to be seen, despite all the big dragons being in on it, they may end up pulling in completely different directions. In a sense, implementing…

Will Homey Pro support Matter/Thread in the future?
