Orwellian. The goal is to collect data. Talking across platforms is a necessary step to achieve more individual data acquisition. The consumer does not own or control the data generated.

Sounds interesting, I would suggest googling which devices are compatible. I bought a Nest thermostat and a Echo Show 8, but I was able to adjust the thermostat by using my smart hub. This was a few years ago, I use Apple products and sometimes I wish they were more compatible with other devices. For example I use a Roku device because Apple does not allow certain apps on AppleTV.

What about the data? Would competing brands (say Apple) allow their rivals (say Amazon) access to their customer data? What about Apple’s schtick with data privacy? And Amazon’s blatant disregard for that?!?

This will be amazing! I have Amazon Echo devices, a Samsung phone and and Apple IPad… Currently it is really annoying that some of my smart devices work with each other and some don’t! I have a couple of smart bulbs, a smart TV and a few smart plugs and while most of them work automatically with my phone only one of the bulbs works with my iPad, unless I use the Alea app on my iPad, so I cant just ask Siri to turn on the light or turn on the lamp, but the Apple compatible smart devices are generally way more expensive and some of them wont work with say Alexa or Android.. This would be a game changer!

It’s a horrible idea leaving a microphone on 24/7 in your home. They plan to spy and sell what they record. Burn your amazon echo’s ASAP.

When you look at the what companies are in zigbee alliance and with the matter you see that those are same companies. Not very promising. Btw ikea is making smart home devices. I have smart bulbs and switches and that terrible ikea hub which is lacking so many features but is only hub which you can use to update ikea devices.

MATTER is good for the Apple, Amazon and Google – they will start making new devices compliant with MATTER. It means we’ll (consumers) need to buy new devices too and the business continues.

I don’t see a downside to that. Yeah they may favor their own smart speakers and add features to hype them up. It’ll be nice to be able to control stuff from an iPhone when someone you live with owns an Android and there’s an Echo speaker and a Nest thermostat

This may be a dumb question but here it goes, when matter goes live will I have to upgrade to a new google nest cam and thermostat for it to be able to work with Apple HomeKit? I would love to just use one smart speaker, as of now I have an echo to control these devices and a HomePod for my everyday Apple uses like mail, calling, text and music.

This would make Apple Homepod actually relevant in the smart home space considering how limited it is compared to Google and Alexa. I hope in the future this also means that our cars and homes can be more connected as we use Carplay and Android Auto. But also considering that cars are getting integrated Alexa and Android Automotive, can’t I hope it means turning on our cars through our smart speakers

June 21, 2021 at 5:53 am
Most smart smart home tech already can be used with both Alexa and Google Assistant so I couldn’t care less. and if a product doesn’t support the one I need the company doesn’t get my money because they obviously don’t seem to want it ????♂️
