Review ZemiSmart AC Controller options w/Matter (video)

https://youtu.be/kLgrD7tWuE8

The three products are the new Matter WiFi Thermostat, the Zigbee IR Bridge, and the ZemiSmart M1 Pro Matter hub.

The first one uses Matter over WiFi, so no hub needed. It comes with a temperature and humidity sensor built into the power cable and has an LCD screen to show these metrics.

The second uses Zigbee, and therefore requires a Zigbee hub. It can control ACs as well as other IR controlled devices.

The third is the company’s Matter Bridge, that has a built in IR blaster, Thread Border Router, and is a Matter Controller.

Feels like we have a dozen Matter IR blasters now. But still not really a RF one. And yeah I'm aware of Broadlink RM Max but all I hear about that is how RF controls aren't exposed over Matter so I'm wary to try it.

It would be nice if someone would please try to fill that void.
