Matter vs Zigbee: what is Matter actually replacing?
(discuss.tchncs.de)
Discussion about general home automation ideas and projects, home automation protocols like Z-wave, Zigbee, Matter, etc, and home automation software and hubs like HomeSeer, Home Assistant, OpenHAB, Homey.
As it stands now. No zigbee and matter are not compatible, as zigbee has it’s own way of addressing devices (i’m not 100% clear on what they use or how it works), while matter wants to use tcp/udp. However if you have for example aqara devices that use zigbee, and you have their aqara controller, the controller will expose the devices via tcp/udp as matter devices
