I bought some of the new Ikea smart lightbulbs that use Matter-over-Thread instead of zigbee. When I tried to use them with my home assistant setup, I discovered that the pairing process involved using a smartphone to take a picture of a QR code and then doing some kind of complex syncing process that ended up failing because I use GrapheneOS on my phone and the syncing process required Google services. I ended up returning them and buying Zigbee smart lightbulbs instead from a competitor.
