#2There’s now support for robot vacuums, which is a big deal.

#3Step in the right direction, but I wonder what's taking so long on getting support for cameras. That's my biggest use case at the moment. Having a bunch of Nest cameras that don't natively incorporate with HomeKit and having to do all sorts of work arounds to get a still generally crappy experience is killing my excitement for the smart home. And I won't buy new ones until they support Matter and there is true interoperability.

Probably the same reason video is always hard, there's 7 million codecs.
Might also be privacy

#5Does anyone know if Matter is being embraced by companies working on home automation products?
I'm in India and it seems that the ecosystem is really garbage -- some devices work with Alexa, some with Google, and very little work with _all_ major providers (and I'm an Apple user). Is it better in other countries?

#6In hindsight it makes sense but I never would have guessed that device types are hard coded by the protocol.

Came here to make the same comment. It seems like we are going to be waiting a while for video.

#9This seemed exceedingly notable to me:
> Device & Endpoint Composition – Devices can now be hierarchically composed from complex endpoints allowing for accurate modeling of appliances, multi-unit switches, and multi-light fixtures.

Does Homebridge not have a plug in for Nest? The one for Unifi cameras is just ok and takes forever to load an image. The doorbell notification is better than the camera experience.
