I hate that ikea switched like that.
What's your experience with Matter / Thread? Is it a case of buying a different USB dongle and devices?

Yeah I am wondering what's actually needed for thread/matter in home assistant. Do you need a sidecar server? Do you need to install addons in Home Assistant? What of my existing Thread / Matter routers (HomePod Minis).
I've tried a couple of times but just gave up because zigbee/zwave work well enough and I'm not sure I'll like where thread/matter end up in a decade.

Pair the HomePod with home assistant, install the matter service, and you're good to go.
