It's not for the masses yet, but if you're ready to give Home Assistant a try, this is as easy as it gets.
Matter is an open, IP-based standard designed to unify smart home devices across platforms, with local-first control and strong security baked in. It eliminates vendor lock-in by ensuring interoperability between certified accessories, regardless of brand or ecosystem.

Eve's window blind and shutter controls will get Matter compatibility soon.
