I've been using Matter products in my home for a little while now, both via firmware updates and Matter-ready, out-of-the-box products. Here's how it's going as of early 2023...

What is the best approach to building a smart home that you share with a spouse, children, family or roommates? Today we're going straight to the source. I'm interviewing my wife, asking her your questions. She has been living in my smart home and putting up with my tech and automations for a while.

NEW Apple Home Architecture!
Apple just released iOS 16.2 which brings a big update to all HomeKit users - a new home architecture. Join me as I update all my products and my smart home and I'll share everything you need to know about this update.
UPDATE: As of 12/22/2022, after multiple reports of users having issues, Apple has reportedly removed the option to upgrade to the new architecture from the home app. The Home app in iOS 16.2 no longer offers the option to upgrade to the new architecture.
