Lots of automation, home security, smart bulb type threads. Maybe this release warrants a thread of its own.
Long awaited Matter 1.0 and certification program has been released. This should help all of us wade through choices in home automation/security. I would expect anything that can't be updated to comply with Matter standard will be instantly obsolete, including most of the bargain basement stuff I have.
