[2404.16 --> 2405.06] matter something that I've
[2405.06 --> 2406.22] been considering as well
[2406.22 --> 2407.48] would you mind giving your
[2407.48 --> 2408.54] opinion on if someone
[2408.54 --> 2409.66] should wait for matter if
[2409.66 --> 2410.90] they have zero z wave
[2410.90 --> 2412.66] devices yet I've been
[2412.66 --> 2413.58] considering getting some
[2413.58 --> 2414.40] but I haven't pulled the
[2414.40 --> 2415.84] trigger yet and I'm
[2415.84 --> 2417.12] wondering if I should wait
[2417.12 --> 2419.88] ah the age-old question
[2419.88 --> 2421.52] should I buy now or should I
[2421.52 --> 2423.52] wait the thing about matter
[2423.52 --> 2424.42] is certainly for the
[2424.42 --> 2425.74] moment at least and with
[2425.74 --> 2427.04] the chip shortage I expect
[2427.04 --> 2428.72] this to continue into the
[2428.72 --> 2430.86] foreseeable future is right
[2430.86 --> 2433.82] now it's vaporware so you
[2433.82 --> 2435.60] would be waiting for a set of
[2435.60 --> 2437.08] promises that are coming at
[2437.08 --> 2440.80] some point in the future I
[2440.80 --> 2441.68] know people have said it's
[2441.68 --> 2445.00] going to be in 22 but who
[2445.00 --> 2446.20] knows so if you need
[2446.20 --> 2448.48] something now buy it now it's
[2448.48 --> 2449.70] like buying a graphics card or
[2449.70 --> 2450.92] a laptop or anything like that
[2450.92 --> 2452.40] a car like if you need
[2452.40 --> 2454.02] something now buy it now if
[2454.02 --> 2456.76] you're just tinkering buy
[2456.76 --> 2458.82] maybe a minimum viable set of
[2458.82 --> 2460.22] z wave devices so you can get
[2460.22 --> 2463.16] your feet wet and then you
[2463.16 --> 2464.96] really go whole hog into the
[2464.96 --> 2466.00] matter stuff when it does
[2466.00 --> 2467.68] finally land what are your
[2467.68 --> 2469.58] thoughts yeah I pretty much
[2469.58 --> 2470.68] agree I'll put a link in the
[2470.68 --> 2472.16] show notes to an article that
[2472.16 --> 2473.60] kind of goes over what you can
[2473.60 --> 2474.60] expect is going to remain
[2474.60 --> 2476.06] compatible here's the thing
[2476.06 --> 2477.94] about matter it's basically
[2477.94 --> 2480.52] Zigbee it's based on Zigbee
[2480.92 --> 2483.46] so it is very likely that
[2483.46 --> 2485.98] some Zigbee devices will be
[2485.98 --> 2488.36] software updatable to matter
[2488.36 --> 2490.70] devices so that's something to
[2490.70 --> 2492.58] keep in mind that might just be
[2492.58 --> 2494.02] what you need but norm I'm also
[2494.02 --> 2494.94] going to put a link in here
[2494.94 --> 2496.60] about some devices you can buy
[2496.60 --> 2497.92] now that should be compatible
[2497.92 --> 2499.50] something else you consider
[2499.50 --> 2500.64] another route depending on what
[2500.64 --> 2503.38] device you're looking for is if
[2503.38 --> 2505.90] you're already an iOS house you
[2505.90 --> 2506.86] could just go for home kit
[2506.86 --> 2508.36] compatibility that'll work over
[2508.36 --> 2510.54] Wi-Fi home kit is a stable
[2510.54 --> 2512.48] interface to home assistant it
[2512.48 --> 2514.36] actually works pretty well but
[2515.00 --> 2517.48] but but but not all cases some
[2517.48 --> 2520.00] home kit devices require special
[2520.00 --> 2521.18] Bluetooth adapters or something
[2521.18 --> 2522.12] like that so just be careful
[2522.12 --> 2524.80] there and I'd say like Alex said
[2524.80 --> 2527.60] just by now don't wait and I would
[2527.60 --> 2529.00] err on the side of Zigbee devices
[2529.00 --> 2530.26] myself if I were having to
[2530.26 --> 2531.66] repurchase right now that's what my
[2531.66 --> 2533.44] personal choice would be and don't
[2533.44 --> 2534.74] cheap out on the Zigbee bridge if
[2534.74 --> 2536.28] you're gonna do that I tried with
[2536.28 --> 2538.68] the Sonoff CC 20 something
[2538.68 --> 2540.12] something something and then
[2540.12 --> 2541.52] replaced it almost immediately
[2541.52 --> 2545.24] with the Conbee 2 bridge and since
[2545.24 --> 2548.06] then my automations and Zigbee
[2548.06 --> 2550.92] devices have been 99.9% reliable
[2550.92 --> 2553.90] which really is great my Hue bridge
[2553.90 --> 2556.28] I unplugged it a few weeks ago and it
[2556.28 --> 2558.24] was a really nice moment in my life
[2558.24 --> 2560.16] just be able to go nope don't need
[2560.16 --> 2562.64] this anymore goodbye yeah that is
[2562.64 --> 2565.96] nice that is really nice I think a
[2565.96 --> 2567.18] lot of the large brands are gonna
[2567.18 --> 2569.42] offer I this where I would do my
[2569.42 --> 2571.66] research norm is I would research
[2571.66 --> 2573.50] what Zigbee controller may be
[2573.50 --> 2575.74] upgradable to matter if possible and I
[2575.74 --> 2579.72] would also look at what home smart
[2579.72 --> 2583.60] manufacturing people are already in
[2583.60 --> 2584.88] the matter alliance there's a lot of
[2584.88 --> 2585.86] them that are in there so they're
[2585.86 --> 2587.56] likely gonna support it down the road
[2587.56 --> 2589.76] but such a crappy time for the part
[2589.76 --> 2591.44] shortage and something such a crappy
