I don’t doubt thread is getting better and could be the more future proof of them all but i bought some zigbee motion sensors for less than $10 and haven’t changed the battery in them in nearly two years. When thread devices are that cheap and can run on battery that long i’ll gladly recommend them too. For now, for beginners, i like to recommend zigbee for it’s low cost in both money and power usage.

I hadn’t realised that matter was making such progress. I was about to start installing KNEX stuff at my home, which I would later integrate with Zigbee or the other stuff.
