It was actually ridiculously simple for me to hook it up, I loaded HomeBridge onto an old Raspberry Pi Zero I had bought but never seriously used for anything, you don't even need to hook it up to a screen, I used my iPhone to connect to the Wifi the Raspberry automatically created, and then typed in my actual wifi details on the capture page it opened up when I connected to it.
Yes, it's exactly this article that is misleading. Here is how I'm currently thinking about it... The Matter specification has a goal of unification and interoperability, but it is focused on connectivity and communication. This has many benefits for the entire market, from supply chain to software development to the individuals' smart home ecosystem. However, my questions are around the standards that Apple implements for HomeKit that Matter doesn't necessarily care about, such as local device control and privacy. Does the Matter spec care if a device has to phone home to a server in who-knows-where? In essence just because a device supports Matter does not mean it would pass Apple HomeKit certification as it is defined today.
