Matter - smart home connectivity standard (formerly Project CHIP)

@jkp jkpthe Homey pro seems very interesting…. whats the catch??? if it does eveything why arent wr seeing articles about it all over the web or at least tech sites. I dont rememebr the person’s name, but I rememebr reading about one of the users on this site who does a tech show & he mentioned the homey pro but he got pushback about it. Ill be honest, I thought homey pro was an LG smart hub.

Nice to see that this **is** UL certified.

The only caveat I see is that the operating range only goes up to 105°F, so I wouldn’t put it in an attic. But otherwise, very nice specs. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Technically, it is, since LG acquired the company that makes Homey about a year ago. But that was kind of like Samsung acquiring smartthings. It’s still being developed as a complete platform.

Pricing:

Each new installation starts with a one-month free trial; afterward, the service costs $4.99 per month or a one-time fee of $149 for a lifetime license, which can be transferred to a new system in the event of a hardware change.

Has this device in both the presence sensor and light reading modes worked well for you?

I haven’t tried the Meross sensor, I just posted the announcement. I’m using the aqara MM wave sensor, and I’m happy with that one.

Better late than never to publish the compliance documents
