    I’m more or less agreeing on the Apple part. Because if it was true, why Apple is the biggest contributor to Matter?

    So we have to buy all new stuff versus just some simple software updates.

      No, you just stick with what you have. You don’t need any of this crap really, no one actually needs a smart lightbulb or a toaster that has WiFi. Save your money – devices have physical buttons and the bonus is they don’t require apps to control or pairing to work.

    Your information would be more digestible if you were less verbose and not so overly animated.

    I’m looking to start a smart home and have been undecided as to switch eco system I should buy into. Looks like Matter will take the guess working out my decision. That being said, I have a hard time believing that these companies are co-operating with each other to come up with a standard in the smart home business

  13. Daniel Herval

    January 20, 2022 at 10:03 pm

    To be fair. If you already use HomeKit, it means you already have an Apple TV or HomePod as a hub, so Matter will only allow for a wider range of accessories to be used within the Apple ecosystem. But point is taken if you’re starting from scratch.

    I just wish they let us change the Wake Word, im tired of commercials and shows turning all my lights on or off

    • Nathan

      January 20, 2022 at 11:08 pm

      I avoid the problem by having light bulbs that are NOT able to be turned on and off by the TV. The bonus is they don’t need power while turned off and it is quicker than voice activated to flick a switch on the wall. Cheaper too.

    On your question “who owns the data?” the obvious (and only acceptable) answer is “Me. It’s my data!”. This is why Apple’s privacy-centric approach is the only acceptable one.
    I can understand Google owning the info I explicitly type in their search engine, or Amazon using the buying info I give them whenever I’m on their store, but I cannot accept (and no one should) that the data I inadvertently generate when I’m in my home doing whatever I want is just “out there”.
    If smart home will ever become ubiquitous, and not just a geek’s hobby, people need to feel safe, no Matter what.

    Is matter free for the device manufacturer? Or it is another expensive certification like the apple HomeKit.

    • Fernando Fernandez

      January 21, 2022 at 3:31 am

      Manufacturers actually have to pay several thousands yearly to matter. I think about 20k a year.

    is this a product or is this a standard? If it’s a product, it’s snakeoil. 100% will fail.

    ’bout time. I hope it’s backward compatible, otherwise it looks like just another cheap gimmick to sell more stuff.

    Is this like home assistant but official

  30. Subhadeep Dey

    This should happen with smart devices like smartphone, earbuds, laptops so you don’t have to buy airpods with iphone. We can use any brand earbuds with iphone and still work like airpods. We consumers like no monopoly ecosystem.

    Nothing was mentioned about hardening against IoT hacks. When things sound too good to be true, built-in security is usually a “matter” swept under the rug.

    • NightDominik99

      January 22, 2022 at 10:37 pm

      It runs locally requiring no cloud, so i dont think hacking or attacks will be a problem with matter

  32. Simon Moore

    January 21, 2022 at 8:50 am

    Great that you made the objectives of Matter clear, but there was no info on how it works.

    I install smart home equipment in homes all the time no one cares about apple there irrelevant as long as Google and Amazon get along everything will b fine

    The world has lost its mind to limitless greed, lusting to collect and sell data at every opportunity, no matter the cost to our privacy.

  35. Ice21

    January 21, 2022 at 3:21 pm

    This is great. If you’ve been committed to an eco system but a different eco system has a device that’s cheaper than what your ecosystem has, then you are able to buy it knowing it’s still compatible.

    Edit: honestly apple is already starting to become outdated so let them get left behind

    Man f*** Apple

  39. Frank Coffey

    January 21, 2022 at 8:40 pm

    Some folks want a system that controls devices but doesn’t collect and sell information about them. I don’t think there will be any standards for that.

  40. Derrick Barlow

    January 21, 2022 at 9:03 pm

    Copycats… The tech industry is stealing from indie tech developers and ruining everything by not citing where they got ideas. That is annoying. They took that from a college graduate that’s getting marginalized.

  41. Carl Collins

    “making the smart home stuff in your home just work”, right yeah, looks like the usual way to add one more complication to the bunch. Adds one more PROPRIETARY layer to break and be incompatible with. Only stuff that works now with different protocols seems to be done with open and free software and cheap hardware so this seems to be yet another route trying to lock things down to commercial solutions, which in a way or another, always tries to lock things down so they can sell more.
    Just use homeassistant or openhab etc.. and have a lot more functionality than most paid for things offer. Make home automation do things that you wan’t instead of some company making things with priority in how to extract maximum amount of money from you.

  43. Udin

    Matter sounds similar to TUYA, whereby it works like API across multiple platforms

    This is how you let the world in your house .. if your stupid this is ok , because your stupid and need help , your diconnection to reality makes you weak .

  45. BreakTime101

    January 22, 2022 at 4:16 am

    Yup, get ready, this is the beginning of SkyNet. And we’ll have to buy all new hardware.

  46. James Johnson

    January 22, 2022 at 4:49 am

    I too am more excited by this than I probably should be. The smart home needs standardization in a bad way.

  47. Awesome Videos

    Dude it does NOT really MATTER for me

  48. The Gadget Guru

    So it’s a new standard eh?

    Yo, did you do high school or college Speech?

  57. Nicholas McKinney

    January 26, 2022 at 11:25 am

    Great start to the conversation at hand, you did hit a couple of great points with Data and connectivity, but you left out a huge side of the smart home market and that is open source gateways like Home assistant and OpenHab. What are they doing as well? I am one who likes to keep my home IoT devices off the net so to speak which is the appeal to HA or OHAB. I would love an updated or expanded video with your opinions on that side. Great start let’s see what the rest have to say.

  58. Andre

    January 26, 2022 at 8:55 pm

    I appreciate and share your enthusiasm. The long-term potential for this inter-operability is tremendous, and it would be a shame to squander it. Some things in life should be outside of the realm of existing purely for profit; quality of experience and general happiness is too important.
