Smart Home: Matter WiFi/Thread
The arrival of the Matter standard brings confusion. There are indeed 2 standards within the Matter standard: "Matter over Thread" and "Matter over WiFi". Personally, I prefer the Thread network because it is more resilient and efficient (devices can relay the signal, so the range is better, and standby power consumption is lower). But Thread requires a device to act as a bridge, so some will prefer the WiFi variant if they do not have a bridge or an Apple TV. Both systems have distinct advantages, but it is too easy to mix them up and have problems. Galaxus should separate "Matter (Thread)" and "Matter (WiFi)" in the properties and filters for more clarity.
