I’m just getting into this whole smart home thing, I recently got some smart wing matter blinds. I have zero clue which hub to get, I honestly have no desire for any voice automation and have zero apple ecosystem in my house but I see a lot of people pointing to an apple TV box? Is there any other solid recommendations out there? I saw habitat seems pretty popular here too but there’s zero mention of matter support on their site.

    I ordered a Home Assistant Green with Skyconnect. I have some Matter devices that I wanted to connect. But I won’t get the Skyconnect until a few weeks later I think.

    So is the HA OS itself a Matter controller that I can use to pair matter devices or do I need to wait for the Skyconnect to do that?

      Home Assistant is a Matter controller, so any wifi based Matter devices will work right away. If it’s a thread/matter device you will need Skyconnect or some other thread border router so HA can talk to it, and then HA can act as the Matter controller.
