I don’t think support for Matter would make a difference.
This company is no closer now, than 2 years ago when the Homekit issue was brought up, to fixing it.
THey are just kicking the can down the road. We are already into summer, and they still don’t have a F’ing clue what is going on or how to fix it. The beta process is a mess, they aren’t sending out any more invites, we are on our 4th or 5th “spokesperson” on the boards to give updates, and the updates are as generic as can be.
They don’t care, and probably are either a) waiting for people to forget about homekit issues or b) stalling until a new product is released, with better support, so we spend more money on a promised (hopefully working) homekit support.
It cracks me up that you can still go on amazon, and the description for the rachio 3 states " Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller, 16 Zone 3rd Generation, Alexa and Apple HomeKit Compatible with Hyperlocal Weather Intelligence Plus and Rain, Freeze and Wind Skip"
Still advertising broken feature…
C’mon guys, get your shit together.
