Was too quick, sorry !

Long time since I've last posted something as I had very litle time to further "play" with my bOS the past few months...

Simple question, all in the title: do you plan to integrate the Matter protocol in bOS ? The v1 is now official, and there is quite a bunch of manufacturers already engaged with it, so it could be nice to further expand our systems.

Hello Fabien,


it has been a while indeed, good to see you back!


We're avare of the integration of matter and it's release. Currently we're talking and discussing about it and it's integration into bOS, but that is that for now. It hasn't been added to the pipeline for integration just yet, but my guess would be it will be added as it seems to be a huge deal in our space.


Best regards.

Thanks ! I really hope to be able to be more active again, but it looks good so far.


Thanks as well for your feedback. I truly believe it will open new possibilities, so really looking forward to it.

All the best to the team.

Thanks for this thread. I am really pleased that you are discussing this here. I've been using Jigsaw for about a year now (as an end user) and I'm really happy with the solution. But you are seriously discussing whether you want to support Matter? I've also taken my first steps there, which are quite sobering, but if your system wants to live on, then I hardly have an alternative. In which direction are your discussions going internally?

Hello,

Matter is one protocol, they are many others protocole KNX/Modbus/Bacnet/MQTT ....

bOS remains a good system even if matter is not planned right away.


Best regards.

An interview worth reading with Stefan Neuhaus, Head of Innovation and Advanced Development at Insta GmbH, on the subject: "I'll be happy if, in the future, we no longer have to differentiate which networking technology we use. That has produced an incredible amount of waste, also among manufacturers. In the past, the smart home scene has often allowed itself to be blinded by optimistic market forecasts and developed products based on gut instinct in order to participate. Perhaps in the future there will only be KNX as a system for professional building technology and matter as a solution for smart homes driven by the end consumer market." „Smart home programming has to be as easy as setting an alarm clock“

Turns out that Sonoff has removed DIY mode from newer devices that come with Matter supported.

So it's a matter of time its needed...in bOS too, babum tsss
