Thanks for the list! What do they communicate over? Some proprietary protocol locally over WiFi, or are there any matter/Zigbee options?

The protocol is shown in the right hand column. Matter over thread, the rest over wifi.

Sorry, I’ve missed the columns when looking at it on my phone

@spitfire
At least the Matter compatible products are local and non proprietary by definition, guess that these device use WiFi as Thread would require a border router.
