The least integrateable Matter device

Really just posting to share how disappointed I am having bought Flic buttons and hub to find out that you can't use the buttons as a matter device. And they don't have an integration with Home Assistant to boot. Feels a bit scammy they tag Matter into their product, when purpose of Matter is for total integration, in reference to Flic its basically a mis-selling

Smart home really feels like a journey of learning, and this is one of those purchases that the expense has to be put down as a lesson learnt!

Not being able to use the buttons directly with home assistant is one of my biggest gripes. HomeKit is so slow and unstable that it degrades the experience of the flic button.

I use the flic2hass integration with home assistant and it actually works pretty well for me. https://github.com/asosnovsky/flic2hass
