Wow, this video took ages to produce. Setting up these Matter devices in Home Assistant was quite a cumbersome task. But, I managed to set it up and show in this video how I managed to do that. What's your experience with setting up Matter devices in Home Assistant?
Hey Ed, cool video! Did i Miss how you set up the skyconnect with matter/tread? I got the skyconnect and it is Zigbee only, what instruction did you follow?
That curtain track looks sick. Does it work without thread over that rj-45 Port? Instant buy for me than. Igot the switchbot curtians they fail so bad on my heavy curtains.
Love your videos, extremely accessible and informative. Just wondering if you can help with a question from a novice who is learning about home assistant. Is it possible to connect such devices straight to home assistant without using a (bridge?) Home kit or Google device et cetera?
Skyconnect should be irrelevant since these bulbs are WiFi, not Thread. I experimented a bit with Philips Wiz bulbs which update to Matter, but you need to add them to Wiz app first and then enter Matter pairing mode via app... and they always have to stay in app after. Maybe this is just because they are upgraded to Matter, and future products designed for Matter like these Zenismart will not have issue. Anyways, can you do settings like power restore state, transition time (how long takes light to dim up/down) ? You can tell easily by making a script/automation and calling service to turn on then a Transition option will appear. The Wiz bulbs I have do not show these in Matter, and have to use their app.
They work with Matter over WiFi. So shouldn't they work with Matter integration/add-on on HA without SkyConnect? Sky Connect provides zigbee (ZHA) and will provide Thread in the future, right? The latter will make Matter over Thread posible in HA without another Thread border router. That's how I understood this. Am I wrong?
@@SmartHomeJunkie Those bulbs you link to show specs "- WiFi Matter Control: ", unless you used a different version... however the bulbs would probably have a thread logo on them which I don't see in your video, just the matter logo. Shut your wifi off and see if you can still control as an experiment ;)
How is the sound of the curtains and roller shades? Some van be a bit loud which makes waking up with a bit of sunshine more like waking up next to a runway.
HI. I bought the zemismart roller 3.0 zigbee. How did you pair the remote to the roller? I have the roller connected to Home assistant but cannot set up/down limit in home assistant so need to set it some otherway.
Good to see these matter-compatible products!!👍
im using that in my house.. (smart roller motor) works amazing!!
Great to hear!
Thx for this Informationen.👍 i love your Videos (and the outtakes too😂)

Going to see how the bulb goes with matter on sonoff dongle E flashed with multipan support
Got my matter bulb yesterday took a few attempts to get it to home assistant but working great and very fast enen over the internet

I don't have Matter devices yet, but expect to add some within a year.
Do you have Eve product? I've just bought a Eve Matter contact sensor. not cheap US$60.
Will there be a separate review for the curtain? I’d like to know how silent/noisy it gets during operation
No, I will not create a separate review. I think it’s not very noisy, but that might be personal preference.
it is silent,dear.

Go to System > Hardware and click configure at the SkyConnect entry.
👍

I don't know how the rj-45 port works. I only tested Matter.
@@SmartHomeJunkie i couldnt find any documetation about that Port...
@@jarongebhardt I can ask Zemismart tomorrow.
@@SmartHomeJunkiethank you! I already send them an Email tho. No worries

Yes, only the curtain rail needed a HomeKit border router. The other device didn’t need that.

These bulbs are Matter for sure and I paired it with the SkyConnect.

@@bsem68 Good point. I might check this tomorrow.
@@RamonEgberts I activated Matter on the SkyConnect, but the SkyConnect doesn't support Matter over thread yet.

I think it's quiet, but might be personal.
I can get two of the light bulbs to connect with Alexa but not with Home Assistant yet.
I've now got them in Home Assistant via Google Home. Working fine now for months.
Great information, but please don't say "Alexa" in your videos! You know what happens next.
Too late
People start complaining their google and Apple devices weren’t mentioned?

I didn't 🙈
The downlights are not very good. Way to much broad light. It is much more practical to have a narrow light beam in most circumstances
Thanks for advice,we will improve it.
The Matter scenario is dead. No updates
Limited support or no products.
It promised integration with "everything" but that is not the reality.
