5 Coming Problems With Your Smart Home (Because of Matter)

  • Post comments:7 Comments



There are 5 big problems that I see with the upcoming Matter standard in smart homes. Home automation will totally change later in 2022 when the new standard hits, but if you’re not paying attention, you will get hit by one of these issues.

From the way you set up devices, to the ways companies will still try to pull extra money from you, to how long range devices will work, and even some products that won’t be updated to Matter…there are many issues that I’ll explain to you and help you get around with today’s video about the Matter smart home standard.

Many people in the tech community will wonder about Thread and Matter, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and more, so check out our full guide on the Matter standard for smart homes here: https://youtu.be/HTOYHn5NUn0
