This seemed more balanced and upbeat than other reporting on the topic.

I'm always happy to see support for Matter and increased awareness.

The more we expect matter devices and insist on them, the better things get for consumers.

I got a couple of PM plugs with Matter support. I can’t pair them with HomeKit or Home Assistant. I spent about 5h troubleshooting this, inspecting network packets and whatnot and didn’t get any closer to having them working.

I’d rather things just had MQTT support. Happy with Zigbee though, as I can route those to MQTT as well.

I got a few smart plugs with matter. They paired nicely with HA, but surprised me by falling into their app anyhow.

But they work. Those are Kasa/tp-link.

What're yours?

@c10l @homeassistant These have been rock solid for me. I am not sure how to see the energy being used.
