Matter. Get it adopted. Buy and implement only Matter devices in the future.

Needs a year or two, but if we can get that tech widespread, this cloud stuff will be less essential.

Not sure why I'd want some private cloud system when HA can work on its own. I'd go zigbee, which doesn't require any cloud.

Matter works with HA and HA works with matter, keeping it local and easier (is the hope).

Edit to add: it's not really a private cloud. It's a mesh/WiFi network that transfers data based on the item type.

Eh? Matter is an open source standard, not proprietary in the slightest.

Well the link went straight to a Google page. Many people here is trying to avoid Google services/products, so it made me suspicious.
