So, here is a review of the @OnvisTechnology CT3 door and window sensor that works with #HomeKit over #Thread.
Despite my misgivings at first, you might be surprised at the review.

The @GoveeOfficialLED Strip light M1 is passed #Matter certification. This means the smart LED light strip will also work for #HomeKit users via #AppleHome.
No timeline for the firmware release - But the hard part is out of the way -homekitauthority.com/govee-l…

Apple just released #iOS16.2 RC which means we “should” get the final release within 2 weeks
A new #HomeKit architecture coming in iOS, iPadOS and macOS which Apple says is designed to bring faster, more reliable performance, especially in homes with a lot of smart home devices.

Wow, #Matter is less than 2 months old & it’s already been talked down.
⭐️ Remember what’s been achieved so far! It’s been a huge effort!
⭐️ It’s going to take time for it to mature
⭐️ Mistakes will be made I am sure
⭐️ Still don’t buy on a promise
⭐️ keep an open mind!

Matter is here for select @meeteve Thread devices. Eve is rolling out firmware updates for the Eve Energy, Eve Motion and Eve Window and Door sensor.
These are the first #Matter or #Thread devices

Lots of debate since the announcement on the matter delay.
If you are ALL in on #HomeKit than Matter will have little impact on you for existing devices. Regardless if Thread, Wifi, bluetooth or whatever, they will still work.

Fans of @netatmo will be pleased to know that you can buy transformer options for its smart #HomeKit doorbell! Both a plug-in and In-wall options are available. Also no need for an existing doorbell chime
U.K. and EU right now, asked about other countries

Another new product from @merosshome and it’s a smart smoke alarm that works with, you guessed it… #HomeKit. The device requires an hub, but this is possibly the start of many meross sensors that will work with this hub.
