The fight for who will own your Thread mesh network is creating an even more fractured smart home.

Hopefully this gets resolved before my next home. Our current home is outfitted with Nest, which I will absolutely avoid in the future due to Google's complete mishandling of the brand after purchasing it.

Everything I’ve had over the years is homekit related. I purchased a HomePod mini for the thread integration and then on offer on prime last year and this year updated a few plugs sensors and climate from eve for the thread router to extend around the house. It’s a mis mash of older homekit and new thread, it all seems to work until recently when an eve update knocked everything out so had to unplug all my HomePods ands Apple TV, basically anything that could be a Homebase to try and reset. (I never knew to try this until eve support told me, I was resetting individual devices thinking it was them only)
The eve thread devices now have the option of an upgrade to matter in the app and I honestly don’t think I want to go through all the hassle as you just no it’s going to break the system.

Maybe later on I’ll change them over when there’s improvement, but there really is no point unless I wanted to use them on another system or sell them.
