I played with a cheap wifi camera vs an actual wired (network) cctv camera. The difference is night and day, even just viewing the stream in VLC. Speed, stability etc. "Consumer" stuff just feels underpowered and little more than a toy.
I hope matter brings a better landscape for all this stuff - but then I have been sitting on my hands waiting for years as the next version of everything is just 12 months away.
- kawsper 4y agoMatter might be the thing you've been waiting for. I only have 3 light switches in my apartment, but I made sure they had Matter support.
- shapefrog 4y agoMatter is certainly taking its time coming into existence!
- kawsper 4y agoYou're right. The switches I bought with Matter support are from Eve. Previously the Eve devices have only been supported through their own app on iOS, and that was the only reason to be able to read the kWh usage. I hope the Matter support will let me access it from my other devices.
- shapefrog 4y agoMy fear of mission out is being overridden by my fear of buying the obsolete technology at an inflated price a week before they start making the good version that actually works!
