- nick__m 1y agoI should have been more precise, I don't doubt the claim about latency nor speed, but I really doubt that running an ipv6 stack requires less power than running the simpler zigbee stack. Also one Thread advantage from that discussion made me laugh: safe as the internet, using proven IP technologies But thanks you for answering me!
- dgacmu 1y agoI haven't measured it, but: in a lot of embedded situations, the radio transmission time is the single biggest consumer of power. Thread+matter being more efficient on number of packets transmitted per command (the reason latency is lower) could actually translate to battery savings.
- 0x000xca0xfe 1y agoBut does it translate to real world gains? I've developed a Matter (wifi) device and the stack is ridiculously chatty.
- AceJohnny2 1y ago(offtopic) from the link > as redundant and safe as the internet Ahaha! Haaahahaha! i'm choking (Joking aside, I get that their point is they leverage the decades of work into IPv6 rather than recreate their own ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of the IP stack, but man did that phrasing get me)
