Speaking of which, anyone using matter products yet? Matter via manufacturer hub or matter over thread?

My aqara hub already bound to matter via Google, but I'm still waiting for a cheap deal for Google nest mini.

In US usually got deals for Google and Alexa products, MY not so much. Personally waiting to see what happens with Home Assistant Voice, eventually want to change all my Alexa and Homepods to local voice assistant speaker

Exactly, on sale its like $18 which is merely RM85, but here cheapest I could find is 149 and that is the US plug version, some even selling for 200+ to 279+ for the US version lmao

So far tested matter firmware on tasmota device with alexa/google speakers. Gets detected instantly
Definitely better than it was a few months ago

Check sales at woot.com (sell stuff from amazon)
Even cheaper there for the speakers

Nice! I’m looking forward to trying out some matter devices.. maybe curtain motors.. or something along those lines.

Patiently waiting for my M1S to be updated to Matter too. I’m on Gen 1, so supposedly second half of 2023.

I am doubtful that my zemismart and Neo hubs will be updated to matter, they’re most likely going to just come out with a matter hub.

Next project I'm trying to do is to integrate alarm via Paradox Alarm Interface, anyone has experience with this?

I understand that to install PAI, then feed to MQQT, then get it from the MQQT to HASS or whatever control method.

Lo and behold, there was a beta update for my Gen 1 M1S , with support for matter. Ive just updated it and nothing broke yet. But i have yet to update my homekit to the new architecture (because my iMac and older iOS devices dont support it). Once i get some matter devices, probably have to bite the bullet and not be able to control homekit with those obsolete devices.

I upgraded to the new architecture about a month ago, so far no issues. Very happy with HKSV performance (cameras through Scrypted), I am just waiting for some dev to come with ability to create dummy apple homekey locks so that i can buy one that best suits my needs.

Thats great! I just feel sayang that if i update to the new architecture to get matter, then my iMac and iPad Air and iPhone 6 Plus would be out of service for homekit. But matter is inevitable. Theres one thing though, for the M1S, i have 2 , one on the Aqara App, and one on Mi Home. The Aqara one was updated to matter compatibility. Not sure how to update the Mi Home one. Anyone knows?

Yes, i would love to have a homekey plugin, but not sure how that would tie into my existing non-homekey Aqara D100 lock. The software for the lock seems to be very tied down, now sure how they can implement that. I can by pass it using a dummy switch now, maybe something along those lines, like a dummy homekey lock, then once that triggers, launch an automation that unlocks the actual lock.

By the way , for HKSV, if im on the 5gb free plan, what happens? Now im still on FFMPEG cos i dont have any icloud storage. Would i need to upgrade to the 2TB one? I have 22 cameras on homekit…

I noticed there's a few plugins available with scryped for the usual camera brand (hikvision/daihua etc)
Could any other generic brand work? Like sricam or other china brand that doesn't expose rtsp port

How is it out of service for homekit? I just know the ipad can't use as as home hub starting ios 16

My iMac cant support homekit new architecture, cos its a 2015 model. The Ipad is stuck on iOS 15, and new architecture not supported. Same goes for the 6 plus which is at iOS 12. I mean, those ios devices are just spare devices laying around, but its nice to have them to be able to control the house when the main phone and main ipad is not available. The biggest shame is the iMac. I did read that i can hack the latest macos into it though, but kinda iffy on that, since i dont want anything to break

Well people managed to reverse engineer HKSV, so surely the homekey thing also could be done. I have the 2TB family plan (its expensive but i do use apple music and i can share storage with my family whatever larh just have to bear with that cost) and i think if you have to get the 2TB plan for unlimited cameras, damn 22 cameras thats crazy, but good thing is that it doesnt eat into the 2TB storage. Pretty sure you need at least the 50GB plan to use 1 camera, 200GB i think 5 and 2TB unlimited. So far i am happy with the setup, its dual recording to HikVision NVR and motion based recording to HKSV and its actually pretty easy to share certain clips of the recording.

If it has Onvif then can, otherwise you will have to dig into their wiki page. Easiest would be cameras with RTSP and thats what i am using.

Oh ok ok need to have 2TB.. not ready to spend on that yet. I guess ill have to be content with the NVR/DVR storage for now. Yeah 22 cameras.. haha. Combination of wired and wireless, dahua + imou.

Guys, i bought dim adjustable led strip with alu casing for ceiling, how do i make it able to control using wireless switch like tis 1? (Tuya version) is there any purchase link to share? Tyvm.

Hi everyone,

I've got quite a few switches paired with my Aqara M1S hub. They've been working perfectly for the past year or so. But recently, for no apparent reason at all, I keep getting no response from random switches in Homekit. When I check the Aqara app, those switches are online.

Funny thing is, when I toggle them in the aqara app, they become online again in Homekit. What's happening? I've rebooted the router and the aqara M1S hub after this happens but it still happens randomly.

Anyone knows how to solve this ?

Light start develop problem , same with mine change the light problem solve
