Google is pretty bad, and there’s no way I would buy any Google manufactured device (hunk of e-waste?)
Your point is valid though, there are hundreds of other companies involved in this standard, many of them will make fantastic devices and there’s no reason to ignore them all because of one bad vendor.
- smoldesu 4y agoIf you want software to improve, you need to encourage companies working together on initiatives like this. Both Google and Apple suffer from this lack of communication, and it's led to shitty protocols time-after-time. If we start with Matter, maybe we can break down other arbitrary barriers like iMessage and the App Store/Play Store. Then we don't have to resort to antitrust litigation!

If you take a wild guess and assume that most people will interact with home automation through their handhelds, and 100% of them will when away from home and their house hubs, then that "one bad vendor" could seriously crater the health of the ecosystem.
