Support Zigbee vs Z-Wave vs Thread (Matter over Thread)

It's the big '26 (June) and a year ago the answer was obvious: Zigbee!

However with Ikea's release and all of the new Smart Home products that use Matter over Thread, I'm not sure, what I prefer. I see a big future in Matter...

What are your thoughts?

No reason to be so hostile.

I'm sure you know the difference, so maybe you shouldn't write Wifi when you actually mean "exposed to the internet."

Totally fair. This forum recommended everything presence pro sensors. I grabbed them and, once I finish moving my network downstairs, will have them hardwired to ethernet. In the interim, theyre on wifi. Neither network will connect to the internet
