I don't know, I think the downsides outweigh the benefits. I don't want to have to secure a bunch more IP-based devices that can talk to my computers. I'd rather they were separated at the radio level, like Zigbee.
replyMatter is just the protocol from my understanding, it can also be used over Thread, which is a seperate radio and made to replace Zigbee/Z-Wave.
replyThread is also IP(v6)-based. But in this context, Thread would go a fair ways toward solving stavros's concern, as it means security could be enforced on the Border Router(s), rather than each individual device.
replyYes, this is true, but I think over Thread it's also fairly complicated, as a protocol. I'm not very familiar with it, though, admittedly.
