Thanks for the heads up, @Geddy!
FWIW, I've been home automating since 1999 starting with X-10 and IBM Home Director. After that, an early adopter to Insteon and HAL2000 by automated living. I moved to the ISY99 when it became a thing. I'm aware of what life on the edge is (I've been on it for 25 years). But I'm not a programmer by any means. I am patiently impatient (?). Excited, I guess, at new prospects. As such, when it's discussed that something is very, very close, I anticipate release of some sort somewhat soon. I am aware Matter is a mess (I mean, Google is behind it, after all 🙄). I come here looking for updates because @Michel Kohanim is a reliable straight shooter. So, after 8 months I was looking for an inside scoop from someone in the know as to the State of Matter - hoping it isn't slipping into the vapor.
