Samsung SmartThings Gets Matter, Thread, and More!

It's time for your Matter smart home news update! Things are moving fast in the world of Matter, Thread, and the whole smart home world in general, but Samsung SmartThings is moving even faster with new partners like @Aqara , @Nanoleaf , GE Cync, and Eve Energy all joining the platform.

Samsung SmartThings Edge is about more than the Matter smart home standard and you'll get a fancy new camera feature because of it too. Edge will give you access to LAN devices too, not just Zigbee and Z-Wave devices.

But it's not all good, because @Samsung has made decisions like holding back their televisions from being Matter devices (while allowing them to be Matter controllers). So there's still a world of walled gardens being built in some cases.

All this and more in our latest tech news segment that focuses on the home automation platform known as SmartThings and the Matter smart home protocol and standard.
