At least on the outside all these new Matter over Thread sensors and buttons by LG look great, hope they’re not limited to some regions.
Yes, they list the interface and you can search for it too!

I’m confused. How is this different from any other matter over Wi-Fi outdoor light? there are several now, including from Govee.

Just a snarky remark.
Let’s go through the list of our WiFi devices. Here’s the laptop, the desktop computer, the Fire TV Stick, and of course the floodlight with its 300 Mbit/s connection.

SmartThings to support Matter 1.3
5 Likes
It is indeed the first to be both certified and available for the end user, the drivers supporting Matter 1.3 were already published and the new device types supported.
While the most voted comment says it is Home Assistant, actually Home Assistant is not Matter certified yet and still in beta. And other platforms were certified for Matter 1.3 before, but they haven’t updated their hubs and user interfaces so in practice they don’t support Matter 1.3 features.
That “company announced” link of the post is full of news, most realated to AI by the way. Samsung Celebrates 10 Years of SDC and Spotlights AI-Based Innovation at SDC24 – Samsung Global Newsroom

The Tapo H110 hub (Matter bridge actually) with IR blaster now has a shape and specs, mind it’s not been announced yet but it’s already certified and here’s the official site:
It can expose IR appliances to Matter which was the main question, but still it’s not clear what it exposes or how. Maybe they’re just on/off switches and does not have more control of IR devices through Matter.
Since Tapo is usually on the low-cost side, I expect it to be the cheapest IR blaster for Matter, even if you don’t care about the Tapo sensors using its proprietary Sub-GHz protocol which is the actual purpose of the hub.

Are you sure? I had a look at the certification document as soon as it was available online and I haven’t found the IR part.
I believe it’s impossible to tell from the compliance document. I’m editing because I don’t really understand what is supposed to appear in a compliance document of a bridge.
The Switchbot Hub 2 for instance exposes IR remotes as on/off switches or air conditioners, but the compliance document won’t even name those clusters.
The IKEA Dirigera compliance document lists the clusters it supports, but not individual devices like Tapo did.

Let me guess: On/Off cluster
Edit: temp, humidity, level, mode select, occupancy, color control, fan control, …
That’s impressive. Do their fans have motion sensors or something for occupancy?
