Heyho,
I am looking for smart devices - currently interior blinds and lights that support Zigbee - and thought why not take a look at the European market.
As far as I can tell most products come from china, but maybe someone here knows more than me :)
I switched to IKEA home automation for the most components.
It is Zigbee and with the newest stuff Matter. Quite affordable and mostly well thought out
I quite like the IKEA bulbs and buttons, but not their base station, I just use a standard zigbee one.
However, I don’t want matter, I just want zigbee. Its well behaved, a known quantity and they’re light bulbs. Giving them an IP stack is just increasing the attack target footprint. I do not understand the benefits or appeal of it.
