Matter 1.3 is here to help get your smart home energy usage under control : homeassistant

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?

They’re Meross, this one specifically.

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

@c10l EVE’s Energy have been providing energy metering under Matter for the last few months.

Ok, it was a HA specific solution.

This is great (seriously).

What remains to be seen is how long it takes between announcement and update of Matter devices.

Not sure what I'd like to automate first, my toothpaste or my hair comb. Automatic combover

Or just don't run any of that "smart" data collecting e-waste.

You're posting in the home assistant community, instead of acting like a know it all, at least have the self awareness to know what you're talking about.

you're right my comment was definitely placed in a community that would not receive it well lol. Did not realize it was this community. Did not realize it was self hosted 😓

The whole point of matter is that it’s local-only control

if not locked in a cloud service....

If you are running it through Home Assistant- or indeed Apple HomeKit - it’s all local - no data collection

I'll admit I did not realize I was posting in the homassistant community and that that was what this was for 😓
