Hey, Eric, great review! How did Govee Light setup go for you? I’ve seen a bunch of reviewers mentioning how the setup process was quite bad with the Matter lightstrip.
Hey Eric,
The Govee M1 matter compatible version, allegedly does not support Matter locally, meaning if the internet connection of your home is slow or absent, it is slow to respond (or doesn’t respond at all) when controlled via Matter from the Apple Home app.
This seems to me like a major violation of the local first mindset of how Apple Home works.
Did you check out this behaviour? What do you think about this?
Also how responsive is it compared to Nanoleaf Essentials (via Thread)?
I was initially quite apprehensive of matter just because there aren’t, at least as of now, any new product categories and I knew product feature sets would be limited as opposed to devices that are intended for specific platforms but I recently dipped my toes inMwith varying results. Barring some fairly significant accessibility issues with their app, SwitchBot’s HHub 2 ported over there curtain motors to Apple Home quite well in my experience. this is particularly nice considering the accessibility issues their app has. I’ve been testing the new Onvis smart plugs and haven’t had the same results. I don’t know if it’s because I got a faulty unit, but although it shows as available to be paired, just won’t pair to Apple Home.
I have had little problem with the new nanoleaf strip. Where it plugs into power connector. Kept falling out. Would Duct tape? Or electrical tape work
Hey Eric, Thanks for the updates on Matter. I been using the TP Link KP125M branded under the Kasa name smart plug without issue. I think the unit in the video was TP Link P125M branded under the Tapo name.
What’s the dream machine
Hi Eric. One of my more esoteric Matter devices I’m using in my Apple Home is the YeeLight Cubes. The fantastic lighting options are great and I love the dot matrix clock. It also works really well with lighting for your music. However, getting the power bases to stay connected to the SmartHome is a frequent issue. I’m hoping that with some updates, that aspect will stabilize.
I feel like Matter is still an authentication mess and its gonna take another year or two before things are sorted out. I’m just gonna use YoLink’s LoRa devices with the cloud backend in Home Assistant because I simply need the coverage/distance. And when Matter (w/ thread mesh) does finally catch up? Then maybe I’ll consider switching over for local control…
Great info. Have you looked at the LG DualUp Monitor? Wondering if it would be a good choice for a second monitor instead of two Studio Displays for a deluxe setup?
Also, nice tease, can’t wait to hear why you needed the UniFi VoIP telephone. Most of the feedback I’ve gotten is that landline telephones are obsolete and everyone is just using their cellphone when working from home?
I have the older Nanoleaf Essentials E27 bulbs and they’re fine but, they’re difficult and frustrating to update. I’ve never updated them and had all 3 update without issue. For that reason alone, I’d be very slow to buy any more
you have nice hair
my most frustrating experience is that Nanoleaf A19 is great and also, NOT. Everything BUT getting the color to set per scene is good. I want a white scene for when I am on camera, and deep blue for the rest of the time. It never saves that color as part of a scene!!!
I just got the Matter Nanoleaf Thread bulbs and they’re not good. Super unstable in Alexa, even show up unreachable in the Nanoleaf app at times…no adaptive lighting in HomeKit…from now on I’m sticking with Zigbee, Thread is overhyped imo
What brand is your standup desk?
I had problems with my Essentials A19 bulbs as well. In my case, it was frequent drops in thread connection. The bulbs would just go unresponsive and I’d have to reset power to them. I ended up going back to Hue bulbs. My Eve thread devices seem to be pretty reliable, but not the Wemo or Nanoleaf thread devices.
I’ve had nothing but issues with the Eve Energy and Eve Motion Matter devices. Matter lights have also given me many issues. I’m waiting on matter devices now.
Hey Eric I wish I had seen your review of the Matter Eve Motion Detector before I purchased one.
I have several Eve products (including motion sensors designed for HomeKit) that are successfully working on Apple HomeKit.
I just purchased a new Eve Matter motion detector. Trying to install the device the installation does not “see” the custom name for my home and it tries to default to Apple Home.
Eve tech support has not been able to help.
Any chance you might have some idea as to why?
Thanks.
Keith
Ps. Keep up the great work with your channel. It’s a great resource! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I am getting a little pissed with matter/thread… Thread is no different from ZigBee….it only works with one ‘ego system’…
Screw motion detectors, you need occupation sensors…
I have 6 Nanoleaf essentials a19 bulbs. 1 is great and 5 don’t have a thread connection.
Of the five with issues, 2 work at least and 3 I have to use as dumb bulbs.
I have reset to factory them at least 20 times and keep the firmware up to date.
So if you have more time than money, get them otherwise it’s hit or miss. My previous bulbs Hue just worked. I shouldn’t have sold them.
I have Eve and Tapo Matter plugs. They work great on my thread and wifi networks. I am waiting to try out Onvis’s Matter-Thread plugs which are more than half the price of Eve’s
