Think about Matter what you want, but the fact that it is simply IP-based so you can hack something like this together is pretty amazing.

Think about Matter what you want, but the fact that it is simply IP-based so you can hack something like this together is pretty amazing.
- stavros 3mo agoI don't know, I think the downsides outweigh the benefits. I don't want to have to secure a bunch more IP-based devices that can talk to my computers. I'd rather they were separated at the radio level, like Zigbee.
- psyonity 3mo agoMatter is just the protocol from my understanding, it can also be used over Thread, which is a seperate radio and made to replace Zigbee/Z-Wave.
- stavros 3mo agoYes, this is true, but I think over Thread it's also fairly complicated, as a protocol. I'm not very familiar with it, though, admittedly.
- comfydragon 3mo agoThread is also IP(v6)-based. But in this context, Thread would go a fair ways toward solving stavros's concern, as it means security could be enforced on the Border Router(s), rather than each individual device.
