It seems like it has really been stalling. I would like to see a open and more adopted standard but it is what it is.

From the post: "Matter, as a smart home standard, would make everything about owning a smart home better. Devices could be set up with any phone, for either remote or local control, put onto any major platform (like Alexa, Google, or HomeKit) or combinations of them, and avoid being orphaned if their device maker goes out of business. Less fragmentation, more security, fewer junked devices: win, win, win."

The article sums it up

It's another home automation standard at the moment,

Yep, it's yet another "standard" vying to be the standard. I think the criminals tyrannizing the world simply want a standard way to control all devices. I don't use any smart device standard, rather I keep all my devices behind a firewall and use my own local protocol to talk to them.
