Comment on AWS outage reminds us why $2,449 Internet-dependent beds are a bad idea

I wish there was a law stipulating that smart devices must allow for local control. That’d never happen in the USA (since companies couldn’t make as much money selling the data, and we can’t hurt the poor companies’ revenue streams), but maybe it’s happen in Europe one day.

Aren’t there enough zigbee devices anyway?

Most Zigbee devices are locked into working with proprietary gateways to the cloud. The last leg of connection being not-wifi doesn’t change that.
Matter seems like a step in a somewhat good direction for establishing open standards so devices from different vendors can be combined and more importantly, controlled from a hub of user’s choice.
