A new technology breakthrough promises to be the thing we’ve all been waiting for: the unified standard that makes everything work with everything else.
There’s a one-eyed cat watching my every move as I walk around the main laboratory here in the Digital Life Labs.Whatever it is, it’s making a tad of a racket. Whenever I put my fingers in the air to make a “peace” sign, which lately I’ve been doing every chance I get, the cat/bat/rat makes a sound like a sniper rifle firing.It would be unnerving if it wasn’t for the fact the creature is doing exactly what I asked it to do, inside the settings section of the Aqara app.
The Camera Hub G3 isn’t just a home security camera with cat/bat/rat ears, it’s also a hub, through which you can connect Aqara sensors. If all works to plan, you should be able to buy, say, a cheap Matter-compatible water-leak sensor from Aqara, and have it work seamlessly with your Samsung, Google, Apple or Amazon smart-home automation system as if it was purpose-built for that system, sending you alerts or turning off taps the moment a leak is detected.
at the connectivity layer, manufacturers will seek to differentiate themselves by making the most secure, the most reliable, the most frequently patched versions of those devices on the market.And while we wait for that blessed day to dawn, we may as well start collecting gadgets that are Matter-compatible, or have a pathway to Matter compatibility, just in case the grand plan works.
There’s also another, even more affordable hub known as the M2, which is the device that’s getting the Matter update this month. We used the M2 and the G3 hubs for this review, and found them equally reliable and easy to pair with sensors.
