.@resideo's Scott Harkins: the last chasm that needs to be crossed is for #smarthome companies to emphasize the "home" more than the "smart". Agree 💯. Less emphasis on tech, more emphasis on tasks. #CES2023

Great point from Scott Harkins at @Resideo: consumer/retail #smarthome companies can learn a thing or two from professionally installed solution providers. Gadgets and loose bundles won't grow the smart home market; solutions and customizable systems will. #CES2023

Paraphrasing a great metaphor from @ChrisLaPre at the @csaiot: Matter protocol turns the #smarthome into a "layer cake" that combines use cases, data and device security, and ease of use. #CES2023

Up next at 2pm PT in W232 at the LVCC: @OmdiaHQ hosted discussion on the #smarthome. Come on down/up/in/around!

No doubt @panasonic is laser focused on reducing its carbon footprint and developing sustainable tech. Seems like #smarthome (energy management, HVAC controls, air monitoring) would be a natural fit, though... Curiously nothing of the sort on its radar. #CES2023

.@HisenseGlobal looks at the #smarthome opportunity through display, home appliance, and VIDAA OS lenses. Even with its size and brand strength, Hisense appears content to let the smart home market develop, rather than take an active role in developing it. Hmm. #CES2023

Matter and the @csaiot getting some (well deserved) love with #LG's Home Hub, one of the revamped "cards" that will soon be a part of LG's TV UI. Connecting and using #smarthome devices should be as easy as turning on the TV. Future now? #CES2023

@Grapheene @tuyasmart @csaiot None of which today are a factor in an IP-based smart home, though through software like Matter, anything is possible (?).

@jacknarcotta_SA @tuyasmart @csaiot Only missing is Ulta wide band NFC Ir blasters

.@tuyasmart, perhaps the largest tech company few consumers have ever heard of, is ready for Matter. If you have a smart home device, chances are it's got a bit of Tuya in it. #MatterLaunch @csaiot

.@signify wasting no time letting us know their WiZ smart lighting solutions are among the first to be ready for Matter. Got this PR from them a few eye blinks after the Matter launch event wrapped up. #MatterLaunch @csaiot

Live from the #Matterlaunch, Manish Kothari, SVP Software Development @siliconlabs says, that legacy devices like #ZWave and #Zigbee will live in your home for a long time. Bridging is needed to connect these to #Matter

Very important question from @benwood from @CCSInsight to the #Matterlaunch panelists, "how do we best manage expectations given the news today?" Tobin Richardson from @csaiot says, "we don't get there without starting here, and this is, in fact, a journey." Much to still come.

Alex Yang of @tuyasmart live from the #Matterlaunch "To achieve the 'easy open-the-box' experience, the only way to get there is through #interoperability" -- #smarthome interoperability and bridging between existing and new systems is the way forward.

Matter and silicon have a symbiotic relationship in the #smarthome. @csaiot #MatterLaunch

And as Matter makes its way into the market, here's the @csaiot's vision for its yearly calendar. Most of this should happen in the background, which for the Average Smart Home Joe is perfect (and necessary). #MatterLaunch

Here are your first wave of Matter devices. #MatterLaunch @csaiot

#MatterLaunch OTA (over the air) software updates for the win. Would've been a galactically stupid decision to force consumers to "rip and replace". (*gee Jack, tell us how you really feel ;)*)

Consumers might recognize a few names here on the (partial) list of Matter innovators. Good point from @TobinRichardson in his keynote: these companies are usually trying to wear each other down, though with Matter they've come together. #MatterLaunch @csaiot

#Matter will allow consumers to choose models based on features & price rather than compatibility with a specific system, free from the worry that they may stop working due to inevitable changes in the industry. @ConsumerReports bit.ly/3efVxcO #csaiot #MatterLaunch

@Nitesh_Patel_SA @EE @VerisureUK @Norton Indeed! Stay tuned.

@jacknarcotta_SA @EE @VerisureUK @Norton Great. Look forward to getting your thoughts after you've spoken with them. Timing might be right, or proposition (features, pricing, benefits) is improved versus previous/ existing efforts.

Catching up from hols last week. @EE partnering with @VerisureUK and @Norton to open up the untapped smart home security opportunity. @jacknarcotta_SA and @ do you think this has potential to move the needle on #smarthome #Security in the UK?
