Well, there's also the fact that Apple, Amazon, And Alphabet have said they'll support Matter. So following that spec suddenly (pardon the pun) matters a lot.

So following that spec suddenly (pardon the pun) matters a lot. I'm sure certification plays a role, but don't underestimate "works with what a huge group of people have ready access to".
Suddenly, compliance becomes self-interest.
- pkulak 4y agoYeah, but it's not _that_ useful to me if only giant mega-corps implement it. I want to buy stuff from Zooz and Inovelli, et all.
- Digit-Al 4y agoYeah, but if the big three support it then that gives it a lot of gravity. There are a lot of people who will be much more likely to buy smart products if they can be controlled by their Alexa/Nest/Echo. Anyone who doesn't support it could be sacrificing a lot of potential customers.
