me either, why do we need yet another standard?
All of the major platform holders agreed to come together and interoperate with this one. And like others said, it supports IPv6.
Still yet another standard, but it’s one that’s not controlled by a single vendor. Its setup to be more like WiFi and Bluetooth than any other standard has been in the past. IMO.
and worth noting as well that thread is only kinda another standard: it uses the same wireless communication as zigbee does
And Matter is modeled after HomeKit.
It reminds me of how the MP4 container that became a standard is modeled after the MOV container.
It’s common for standards backed by consortiums to be modeled after something that is already successfully achieving the goals of the system.
