It’s time to play Apple Home news catch-up once again and, once again, the headlines are dominated by Matter and Thread releases.  While I love the Latter, the former is not so exciting for me and after looking at product releases from SwitchBot, Tuo, Philips Hue, Aqara, SemiSmart, and Onvis, I’ll tell you why I am not Matter’s biggest fan…yet.
