I am a ConBeeII user. Will it be possible to update (firmware/app) so it can handle the Matter protocol? If so, will the ConBeeII be able to simultaneously handle Matter- and Zigbee-network?

Yes I would like to know this too!

Yes, the MCU of ConBee II and RaspBee II can drive the Thread protocol. There is a port of OpenThread for the this platform (SAM R21). [image] GitHub - openthread/ot-samr21: OpenThread on Microchip SAM R21 example. OpenThread on Microchip SAM R21 example. Contribute to openthread/ot-sam…

On what I’ve learned about Matter/Thread, seems Matter part should replace the Deconz API as it is the new universal high level protocol accross the network. Thread replace the Zigbee part as a new RF protocol through 802.15

Any news about ConbeeII and Matter? First devices are out. Aqara is promising to update their devices :rofl: Hue bridge will receive an update soon. They say all hue devices will be Matter compliant. Ikea will not update Tradfri bridge. There will be a new one called DIRIGERA. I don’t think IKEA…

The OpenThread support for ConBee II (RaspBee II will be next) is currently worked on and in its end phase. Here a new firmware is going to be released together with a new Open Source repository of the OpenThread port. Note this is a standalone Thread firmware so either Zigbee can be run or Thread b…

Are we sure the intent of The Alliance is to facilitate the end users? Maybe for people who begin to “automate” home with matter. But who started with zigbee… I’m not sure. I’m sure I have many devices that wil not be upgraded to Matter. So that will I need 2 networks in the future?

Yep. That’s the case indeed. At least for the protocols.

While reading through the specification I have the impression there are two “forces” in play – techies and business people — technically it’s really impressive, solid cryptography and robustness considered from the start. … but all the customize options we have suffered in Zigbee like manufacturer…

A simple question. In matter can I update firmwares of all devices I have with anyone Matter coordinato? I don’t think so. Hue will update to Matter but I don’t think their bridge will be able to manage Aqara sensors or shutters.

The new Matter-protocol?
