As long as no one uses Nanoleaf's thread devices...their Matter ones anyways. Everyone elses thread products work great. Nanoleaf's matter over thread are buggy as hell even in the same room at thread border router hub.

Definitely. My biggest regret was buying Nanoleaf essentials bulbs. Every single version they’ve made suck so bad. I had to exchange over 13 bulbs for not responding or lighting correctly.

my old ones work great...the matter nanoleaf bulbs are terrible and i lost adaptive lighting for it

@@DavidM979from some of the other reviews I have watched, their matter light strips seem to work a lot better and more stable than the bulb for some reason.

Andrew, IKEA's Tradfri drivers work with Hue bridge and all their large line of integrated cabinet lighting. I love the Mittled lights.

Home Assistant has a great Thread network discovery tool. It shows my AppleTV and Homepod minis on one thread network. My Eero and one of my Echo 4thgen form a second mesh. Two other Echos' make a third mesh, and finally my Google homes form a fourth. Matter would have been better off if CSA developed a back channel, Zigbee over Infrastructure to allow Hue bridges, Echos, smartthings, Ikea gateways to talk to each other and share network information in the zigbee mesh. Thread is a retread of Zigbee trying to build a brand new 802.15.4 mesh from scratch.

Sound quality on this episode was terrible. All i heard in my truck was heavy breathing non stop. Also, you still have Stephen Robles name as a contact

Jeez your guests, especially the woman, didn’t really seem like they wanted to be there hey. It even looked like she was looking up at a clock early on.
