Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
I love his enthusiasm but I also dislike it for the purpose of the video because for now it’s: “THIS COULD BE GREAT”, for tech stuff, it’s only good to make an assessment once it’s been fully tested. YES I’m also excited, but will it work? Do I have to buy ALL NEW DEVICES? Can I use what I have currently? We shall see.
I think this companies should think hard to come up with ideas on how to make their devices to work properly with their native systems, instead coming up with this matter crap which probably will create more issues then anything else.
The background music is unnecessary and annoying
Matter won’t matter for those that’s already spent thousands to make their homes smart if they have to reinvest for the same products again, just to get Matter.
This is excellent IF older products get the update.
What’s the update
so will this be done by an update or should we wait for new products
a very big cake ..ha ha ..
Corporate suits never give superusers what they want. I expect Matter to do the exact opposite of what it claims.
I anticipate it to be a jailcell that breaks Homebridge/Home Assistant and causes thousands in losses for each homeowner.
I wonder if arlec grid connect will work with it
"in 2022" look odd in the title, it's already mid 2022 and there probably won't be any commercially produced devices with matter until 2023
Their is something terrably wrong with this guys brain!!!!!
I highly doubt Apple will play nicely and really hope they don't so we can finally put them to bed lol.
I can not wait for Matter to finally drop. I am so stoked for this.. hopefully this gives full support for ring , arlo , and other brand cameras on my google nest hub… so i can do more than just look in. The talk button for example would be great to have on those other cameras show up on my google hub. Im just not fully on board with she who musnt be named as an assistant, but I think they do make some good smart devices. Id like for this not to be an issue anymore. Apple is always gonna be selfish no matter what. Thats just the way they are. So we'll see what happens there. Apple's wake phrase should be .. " hey corporate selfish money greedy exclusivity device…turn the kitchen light on "
Does this mean an apple home kit could control a fire stick?
I've watched several videos about Matter now, including your last one. Still pretty confused, but this is the first one I watched where it became clear to me that Matter is a thing that communicates over Thread, haha.
CNET is a virus in disguise! The crap I've contracted of you basta'ds
I think Apple is all but irrelevant in the discussion, they have the smallest market share. If Amazon and Google, along with the major device makers, adopt Matter well then Apple will have no choice.
I’d argue there’s a larger issue that will affect IpT in general, and Matter as shrapnel: the global chip shortage. There’s no way to control device cost when I’m paying $3 for a bog standard .23 5V LDO. Consumers, myself included, want the smart bulb to cost about the same as a standard LED, I’ll give maybe a 25% premium. But $20 a bulb? Not gonna happen. Where Matter can help this is providing the widest possible range of hardware support, namely those cheap Realtek chips and lower cost Espressif ones. Relying on the costly SI ZigBee chips is the pits.
This could be the thing that finally makes the “smart home” a reality, as opposed to just adding some light bulbs to Alexa or Siri. The next step is for us, the consumers, to refuse to buy non-Matter-supporting smart devices, to ensure we actually finally coalesce around a single standard
What about to those that don't want to be connected to the cloud and have privacy issues?
Lol sheeps.
I'm so excited to test out Matter. I hope it can live up to the hype.
Matter sucks! Stop stealing, big companies!
So dumb. They are just trying to privatize software development in order to monopolize EVERYTHING.
How convenient, at last!
I have like 4 gen 1 Alexa smart plugs I haven't even unboxed yet (I got a great good deal on them) and I just want to know if this means I will be able to control them with Google home
I also have smartthings and the new Aotec hub
So will I be able to control them with that?
Also I noticed you showed gen 2 and 3 echo dots , are these not going to be supporting matter ? I would hope that the 3rd gen dots would support it as they are not even that old
Same question for gen 1 echo show 8 and 5
Get ready for the next Incoming dumpster fire
Apple is pretty crappy at working with others. They joined the AOM but are the only ones not supporting AV1, for example. Or doing a decent job supporting Opus. Matter looks to be another case where they give lip service only. They have a minority of customers, but their customers are so loyal that they feel comfortable acting like a monopoly. We are the ones who suffer.
I hope matter just makes changing wifi password on all you smart devices. I’m a network engineer and work with home builders. Selling a house with 75 smart devices built in is horrible to setup demo and when home is sold it sucks, when that homeowner wants to sell it sucks again. Or just wants to change their devices.
If I only want to use Apple compatible products can I opt out? Will Amazon and Google be able to access data on a product that is compatible with them that I don’t use in Home but have a separate app for?
Yeah，it seems nice. But wait, remember Microsoft and Amazon announced that they are letting Cortana and Alexa working together? And nothing happens. They can switch their strategy anytime. Not alone letting every giant company to access your device……
I’ll stick with my Apple walled garden….the security of homekit outweighs the other competitors
I will enjoy cheaper smart home accessories due to matter though
I appreciate and share your enthusiasm. The long-term potential for this inter-operability is tremendous, and it would be a shame to squander it. Some things in life should be outside of the realm of existing purely for profit; quality of experience and general happiness is too important.
Great start to the conversation at hand, you did hit a couple of great points with Data and connectivity, but you left out a huge side of the smart home market and that is open source gateways like Home assistant and OpenHab. What are they doing as well? I am one who likes to keep my home IoT devices off the net so to speak which is the appeal to HA or OHAB. I would love an updated or expanded video with your opinions on that side. Great start let's see what the rest have to say.
Yo, did you do high school or college Speech?
So Matter is the american Tuya…
So will I be able to see my Ring Doorbell cam on my Google Chromecast with Google TV?
Huh?
