[1049.64 --> 1051.58] and then sell the same amount anyway.
[1052.36 --> 1053.12] Right, sure.
[1053.38 --> 1053.82] Yeah, I mean,
[1053.86 --> 1054.52] it's his job to say
[1054.52 --> 1055.28] it's a good thing, right?
[1055.88 --> 1056.38] I gotta say,
[1056.40 --> 1057.36] I'm not too surprised.
[1057.36 --> 1059.66] It really is funny, though,
[1059.68 --> 1061.90] because anybody who doubts matter,
[1062.20 --> 1062.60] it's like,
[1062.72 --> 1064.36] they took this news, man,
[1064.48 --> 1067.22] and they just run with it.
[1067.34 --> 1069.14] They sent me the link.
[1070.40 --> 1072.26] And I agree,
[1072.50 --> 1074.06] my confidence is slipping,
[1074.06 --> 1075.92] but it just,
[1076.32 --> 1078.16] it's so obviously needed
[1078.16 --> 1080.52] that I hope,
[1080.52 --> 1081.92] I hope that this delay
[1081.92 --> 1084.72] doesn't throw this whole thing off track.
[1084.84 --> 1085.90] But it has sent me
[1085.90 --> 1089.80] into a bit of a death spiral
[1089.80 --> 1091.58] with my whole home setup now, Alex.
[1091.70 --> 1092.68] It's just a disaster.
[1093.28 --> 1093.90] I don't blame you.
[1093.96 --> 1094.82] I mean, we had that feedback
[1094.82 --> 1095.94] a couple of episodes ago
[1095.94 --> 1096.34] saying,
[1096.48 --> 1097.84] should I wait for Matter
[1097.84 --> 1099.60] or should I get into Z-Wave
[1099.60 --> 1101.28] or Zigbee or whatever right now?
[1101.48 --> 1102.66] And if I recall,
[1102.72 --> 1103.34] the advice was,
[1103.34 --> 1104.26] if you need something now,
[1104.34 --> 1104.86] buy it now.
[1104.92 --> 1105.94] And I think that advice
[1105.94 --> 1108.52] has just been proven right.
[1108.70 --> 1108.86] You know,
[1108.92 --> 1109.84] if you need
[1109.84 --> 1112.22] a new smart home widget today,
[1112.80 --> 1114.76] buy what's on the market today
[1114.76 --> 1116.24] and hope for the best.
[1117.32 --> 1118.14] Yeah, and for me,
[1118.28 --> 1119.52] for me,
[1119.74 --> 1121.00] it sends me
[1121.00 --> 1122.80] into this whole spiral of,
[1123.16 --> 1123.28] okay,
[1123.28 --> 1124.44] now I've got a problem
[1124.44 --> 1126.28] because I've got a network
[1126.28 --> 1127.04] of, you know,
[1128.02 --> 1129.42] 30 Z-Wave devices
[1129.42 --> 1130.42] devices
[1130.42 --> 1132.04] and they are integrated
[1132.04 --> 1133.48] throughout the automations
[1133.48 --> 1135.28] and, you know,
[1135.34 --> 1136.04] everything from
[1136.04 --> 1137.78] temperature display widgets
[1137.78 --> 1141.74] to scripts and automations.
[1142.06 --> 1143.88] I have a Z-Wave device in there.
[1144.30 --> 1145.26] And so the migration
[1145.26 --> 1146.08] to Z-Wave JS,
[1146.34 --> 1147.34] which I've tried in the past
[1147.34 --> 1147.74] for me,
[1148.22 --> 1149.90] went horribly bad.
[1150.30 --> 1150.86] Nothing worked.
[1150.94 --> 1151.84] I essentially had to just
[1151.84 --> 1153.38] retouch everything
[1153.38 --> 1154.12] in Home Assistant.
[1154.58 --> 1154.90] And you know,
[1154.92 --> 1155.38] one of those things
[1155.38 --> 1156.40] where you load your dashboard
[1156.40 --> 1158.10] and like everything's aired out
[1158.10 --> 1159.06] and not working right.
[1159.70 --> 1160.10] Oh, yeah.
[1160.68 --> 1162.40] Yeah, that was my situation.
[1163.20 --> 1165.02] And so my thought was,
[1165.14 --> 1165.54] screw it.
[1165.60 --> 1166.46] I'm not going to migrate
[1166.46 --> 1167.24] to Z-Wave JS.
[1167.44 --> 1168.16] I'm going to hold out
[1168.16 --> 1169.28] and just move over to Matter
[1169.28 --> 1170.10] and I'll just
[1170.10 --> 1172.68] low-key replace the devices
[1172.68 --> 1173.34] over a year
[1173.34 --> 1174.00] and call it good.
[1174.66 --> 1176.40] And that plan came crashing down
[1176.40 --> 1177.36] a couple of months ago
[1177.36 --> 1178.08] when I discovered
[1178.08 --> 1178.92] or a month ago
[1178.92 --> 1179.56] when I discovered
[1179.56 --> 1180.46] that the next release,
[1180.56 --> 1181.48] the one that comes out
[1181.48 --> 1183.52] in really probably a few days
[1183.52 --> 1184.22] from the release
[1184.22 --> 1184.86] of this episode,
[1185.02 --> 1187.54] will totally disable
[1187.54 --> 1188.66] the Z-Wave integration
[1188.66 --> 1189.32] that I'm using.
[1189.86 --> 1191.82] So I'm kind of stuck in time
[1191.82 --> 1193.16] with Home Assistant.
