I usually take my smart devices with me when I move. It's a pretty expensive thing to leave behind for a new owner that probably won't use it anyways. If someone offered me extra to leave them I might and then I'd also leave a manual.
- devttyeu 1y agoIt does address quite a few reliability issues - you can have multiple gateways into the thread network so it is actually highly available. It’s definitely complicated, but it’s a kind of usb-c of smart home - you only worry about the complex part when building a product. Just wish there was a better device reset/portability story.

Considering you can't even set up Matter devices if you lost the enrollment QR code (and the manual enrollment code is printed on the back of those ceiling downlights), it's a very good idea to take them with you and avoid frustrating the future occupants :)
- ocdtrekkie 1y agoYeah as noted I don't have any Matter-based systems. Also, all of mine are designed to work with or without smart components: Aka, a light switch turns on or off the lights when you touch it.
