[1140.44 --> 1141.88] a light bulb with Matter.
[1142.38 --> 1143.72] It's actually happening,
[1144.28 --> 1146.20] but you know it's really still like
[1146.20 --> 1148.34] probably six months to a year out
[1148.34 --> 1150.50] before just general devices are available.
[1151.42 --> 1152.64] And of course,
[1153.22 --> 1154.94] of course I'm doing this rebuild right now.
[1155.04 --> 1156.40] Of course my server died.
[1156.50 --> 1157.40] I couldn't hold out.
[1157.66 --> 1159.12] You know I was holding out for Matter.
[1159.32 --> 1160.78] You know that was what I did.
[1161.04 --> 1162.76] That was my entire intention all along
[1162.76 --> 1163.28] was to hold out
[1163.28 --> 1164.44] and just replace my devices
[1164.44 --> 1165.32] with Matter devices.
[1165.84 --> 1167.08] And just as it becomes official,
[1167.28 --> 1169.04] just as the first device ships,
[1169.36 --> 1170.50] my system dies
[1170.50 --> 1171.60] and I'm going to have to either go
[1171.60 --> 1173.02] all in on Z-Wave or Zigbee.
[1173.98 --> 1175.82] Zigbee's very well tested though.
[1176.28 --> 1177.68] I wouldn't imagine Matter's
[1177.68 --> 1178.96] going to be stable,
[1179.22 --> 1180.06] properly stable,
[1180.06 --> 1181.08] for another,
[1182.46 --> 1183.72] I don't want to say five years.
[1184.10 --> 1185.22] That might be a bit pessimistic,
[1185.42 --> 1185.88] but you know,
[1185.94 --> 1187.38] at least two or three
[1187.38 --> 1188.56] before we've got,
[1188.68 --> 1188.88] you know,
[1188.92 --> 1190.44] the ubiquitous level of devices
[1190.44 --> 1191.74] we have now in Zigbee land.
[1191.74 --> 1193.74] I pulled the trigger
[1193.74 --> 1194.60] and I pre-ordered
[1194.60 --> 1196.12] the Home Assistant,
[1196.26 --> 1196.98] I think they call it,
[1197.62 --> 1197.96] iLink?
[1198.02 --> 1198.94] What do they call it, Alex?
[1199.26 --> 1200.50] Sky Connect, I think.
[1200.96 --> 1201.52] Yeah, Sky Connect.
[1202.26 --> 1204.02] It is a Zigbee radio.
[1204.68 --> 1205.78] It has Zigbee and thread
[1205.78 --> 1206.64] and they promise
[1206.64 --> 1207.96] they'll do a firmware upgrade
[1207.96 --> 1209.46] and add Matter to it.
[1209.90 --> 1211.26] So Home Assistant Sky Connect
[1211.26 --> 1212.92] is their own hardware
[1212.92 --> 1214.52] Zigbee radio.
[1216.28 --> 1217.08] Which seems like,
[1217.16 --> 1217.40] okay,
[1217.52 --> 1218.38] so Home Assistant's
[1218.38 --> 1220.30] clearly going all in on Zigbee.
[1220.30 --> 1221.96] This is a clear signal
[1221.96 --> 1222.80] from the project.
[1222.96 --> 1223.90] Zigbee is the future
[1223.90 --> 1224.60] of Home Assistant
[1224.60 --> 1225.76] and Matter.
[1226.66 --> 1228.16] But then they made the announcement
[1228.16 --> 1229.42] that they just full-time
[1229.42 --> 1231.06] hired the Z-Wave integration guy.
[1231.78 --> 1233.42] And now the Z-Wave integration guy
[1233.42 --> 1235.12] is a Nebukasa employee.
[1235.82 --> 1236.24] Mixed messages,
[1236.36 --> 1237.02] it sounds like.
[1237.02 --> 1237.04] It is.
[1237.22 --> 1238.42] I'm so confused
[1238.42 --> 1239.24] as to what direction
[1239.24 --> 1240.26] to go right now.
[1240.62 --> 1242.38] I think what they're saying is,
[1242.50 --> 1243.66] whatever you want to use,
[1243.70 --> 1244.28] we're going to support.
[1244.62 --> 1245.28] And we're going to try
[1245.28 --> 1246.12] to support it really well.
[1246.16 --> 1246.94] But they haven't, like,
[1246.98 --> 1248.58] just clearly articulated that to me.
[1248.58 --> 1249.52] So I'm trying to figure out, like,
[1249.82 --> 1251.06] well, if I'm going to buy one device,
[1251.12 --> 1251.80] should I buy Zigbee
[1251.80 --> 1253.06] or should I be buying Z-Wave
[1253.06 --> 1253.74] or what?
[1254.46 --> 1254.72] It's like,
[1254.76 --> 1255.38] I'm probably going to have to
[1255.38 --> 1256.36] replace some of these devices
[1256.36 --> 1257.38] because some of these things
[1257.38 --> 1258.56] are probably not going to
[1258.56 --> 1259.44] unpair very easily
[1259.44 --> 1260.32] with my dead system.
[1261.84 --> 1262.98] Or are they saying that
[1262.98 --> 1264.30] when you buy this
[1264.30 --> 1265.14] in a year from now
[1265.14 --> 1265.94] when it actually lands
[1265.94 --> 1266.42] on your door,
[1266.52 --> 1268.16] then they'll be supporting it
[1268.16 --> 1268.56] full-time.
[1268.68 --> 1268.88] Yeah.
[1269.04 --> 1269.92] It is a pre-order
[1269.92 --> 1270.84] and it is, quote,
[1270.92 --> 1272.18] available soon.
[1272.54 --> 1273.64] So just as I'm finally
