Matter: Is there a HomeSeer technology roadmap or even a plan?

[John245]

What if I mix Matter and Anti-Matter devices? Will I go back in time?

I think you will go back in time when using Matter devices as currently some functionalities are not there/supported. Ofcourse/hopefully this will come when the standard is becoming mature.

Only it you do it cold.

Seems that the HS team our working this: https://homeseer.com/matter/

[jbfoster]

yes, we do plan to support Matter: https://homeseer.com/matter/

Thanks Mark

macromark, I have seen the above link wich seems to be a Q&A about Homeseer point of view and short term action in regards to Matter but I can't find a way to have access to the page.

Is this reserved to a specific Homeseer customer class or what ?

Anyway to share Homeseer toughts on this with all Homeseer community ?

Thanks jon00

We're not quite ready to publish that page but yes, it will be a Q & A on Matter and HomeSeer.

You need to get the attention of Mark macromark to answer this.

[goldriver]

Has anyone been able to access the password protect page ?

https://homeseer.com/matter/

If so what account password have you used ? I tried MYHS password, my support password and my forum password and none of them can unlock the page

Or would anyone have the content and share the headline (dates, features)

They need to ditch the overly complex mesh network concept and go to direct signalling with sufficient range and penetration to be reliable (like LoRa does).

I think Z-Wave LR is going to be the next big push. It seems to have real and deliverable improvements, but the controllers will still have backward compatibility. We’ve all seen plenty of vaporware, but the Z-Wave Alliance seems to have a good plan - eventually

[upstatemike]

Z-Wave just has a few small problems left to overcome:

They need to solve the popcorn effect issue that prevents groups of lights from turning on and off in unison or dimming smoothly together, especially in mixed brand environments.

They need to solve the problem where a backup from one controller cannot be restored to a different brand controller. What is the point of a standard if things are not completely interoperable?

They have keypads that can trigger scenes but they need some that can act as multi-way switches simply by including the button in the switch group. Some folks have gotten the scene controllers to act as multi-way switches with lots of events in the controller to sync the virtual switch state and status LEDs but it is difficult and ugly.

They need to ditch the overly complex mesh network concept and go to direct signalling with sufficient range and penetration to be reliable (like LoRa does).

If they tidy up these issues folks will have less reason to jump ship for Matter.

Zwave has become very reliable. Matter is vaporware.

Matter, is it another bridge to far?
Until the market is filled with inexpensive Matter light switches and is supported by the home automation controller of my choice, I'll be continuing to use Z-wave. In fact it's likely it just won't matter.
