HA SkyConnect ?
With the added ability to run Home Assistant on EISY, I'm wonder about the possibility of plugging Home Assistant's SkyConnect into an EISY? Of course, this assumes Home Assistant is running on the EISY box. I'm not suggesting SkyConnect might work directly IOX. I know this is what ZMatter USB is for.
While not desperate, I'm just exploring possibilities to get control of the Matter motored SmartWings shade that I just ordered. I need to add a Thread Border Router and ZMatter isn't ready
@carealtor,
I don't know much about HA and SkyConnect. What I know is that our Matter implementation is working excellently with one huge roadblock: Matter commissioning requires Bluetooth connectivity (or WiFi). For Bluetooth, they use BlueZ which is a behemoth of code and very difficult to manage. What we did was to go directly to the HCI level so that things are a little cleaner and without all the gonk from BlueZ. Still a few bugs but very very close.
With kind regards,
Michel
