Does anyone use matter? Most I talk to use ZigBee or zwave.
Yes, it let you connect devices to your smart home interface, that don't support ZigBee or Zwave, without having to download a 3rd party app. The new protocol Threads also uses Matter for connection.
Gotcha. All my zWave and ZigBee directly connect to the home assistant, no 3rd party stupid vendor app.
Thread.
Threads is the Twitter like social media platform run by Meta that has some ActivityPub (mastodon) support.
