My smart home is Homekit + Homebridge based and I don't have that much smart devices so I'm not super up to date. The way I understand this, Matter is supposed to make Homebridge unnecessary and after many delays it finally happened to some degree, hence inclusion in "year in review" type of article. I know of Home Assistant but did it get any big updates this year?
The thing that articles often miss is that HomeAssistant isn't designed to be another protocol, it's more like one UI wrapping up all the other protocols.
You buy different bits of kit, and so long as they're not made my a shitty manufacturer that locks everything down, homeassistant will likely work with them all once people have had time to add support.
A pretty good explanation!
This year was officially called 'Year of the voice', so that was the main focuse, but pretty much every monthly update comes with all sorts of neat enhancements, including plenty of improvements to the Matter/Threads integration.
