Where do we go from here?

[jrainey]

Hi all

Just completed replacement of my Zooz dongle with zmatter dongle.  Only glitch was that I had to remove and re-add my three Zooz ZSE29 motion sensors.  No problems elsewhere.

I have since done a little reading on Thread and Matter,  (only scratched the surface really) and I am interested in the future of this ecosystem.

Which leads me to the question:  Where is UDI planning to go with Thread and Matter?  I understand from one of Michel's posts that they have successfully added Thread devices, but this has hurt the performance of the Zigbee network.  Not to worry, I am sure it will be resolved.

I am wondering, though, where polisy/eisy will fit in this architecture.  Questions I have are as follows:

       -will zmatter act as a thread router?

       -will zmatter act as a leader?

       -will zmatter act as a border router

       -will I be able to share polisy/eisy controlled devices on the thread network?

   I will likely have more questions as I dig deeper.  Just thought I would post this and start a discussion thread. (pun intended).

One more question:  Where would you like to see UDI go with this new landscaoe?

Thanks
