1 year agoYes, that’s basically right. Matter is the home automation API and pairing/security specification, and it uses IP for communication. WiFi and Thread are the officially supported IP communication layers. One other detail is that Matter uses Bluetooth for pairing & onboarding, before switching to Thread or WiFi for communication. So you don’t have the inclusion/pairing/etc setup from other low-power radio systems like Zigbee or Z-wave. That’s all it uses Bluetooth for, though, but some people seem to get hung up on that and think it brings Bluetooth’s many shortcomings along, when it really doesn’t.
It depends on your needs. Either wire the switch between s1 and s2, or between Line and s2
