Is the Sky Connect I linked not good compared to those other ones? It supposedly connects with ZigBee, Matter, and Thread

Thanks everyone! Seems like the consensus is the GMK. I’ll try CasaOS on it then. If anyone here has experience with it though, do I need an extra peripheral for ZigBee/Matter support, like this one?
1·1 month agoDoes Casa work with Home assistant? Also how does Casa compare to Yuno?
2·1 month agoIt’s at a point where wondering if there’ll be a pension in the future is a valid concern, especially after DOGE.
Bombing Taiwan defeats like 90% of the purpose of owning Taiwan - the chip fabs.
Hence why the owners have dynamite strapped to them for self destructions.
China would rather take it over the way they took over Hong Kong initially - corruption.

Anyone who comes across this chain can easily see at this point you’re a bad faith troll now. A bad one at that. This discussion is over. Blocking you now.
Okay now I know you’re arguing in bad faith. Not only were 2 of the articles about apps on a phone and not external Israeli software, but over half my comment was about on-phone software bypassing permissions.
Goodbye.
I mean,I suppose military surplus counts 😅
We have evidence that they can do, simply not evidence that they’re doing it currently.
Israeli technology is already used to bypass encryption and security on both Android AND iOS. This despite the documentation showing they have security features that make them safe. Here’s just some news articles talking about it over the years: https://gizmodo.com/cops-have-less-time-to-break-into-iphones-thanks-to-ios-18-1-security-measure-2000522523
https://twoeva.com/2025/04/10/android-apps-spyware-exposed/
And despite it being well known by now that they’re able to do this, neither Alphabet nor Apple has been able to (willing to?) stop them.
It would be utterly naive to think that Israel can’t make an app that can ignore being disabled, considering they can make software that can straight up get around literal security features allowing law enforcement to enter locked phones. The last article in particular is about bypassing system rules, quote;
The covert tracking—implemented in the Meta Pixel and Yandex Metrica trackers—allows Meta and Yandex to bypass core security and privacy protections provided by both the Android operating system and browsers that run on it. Android sandboxing, for instance, isolates processes to prevent them from interacting with the OS and any other app installed on the device, cutting off access to sensitive data or privileged system resources. Defenses such as state partitioning and storage partitioning, which are built into all major browsers, store site cookies and other data associated with a website in containers that are unique to every top-level website domain to ensure they’re off-limits for every other site.
Basically, you’d have to e stupid to think that a system saying “permission not allowed” is enough to stop a maliciously intended app, but even more stupid to think Israeli backed technology can’t, considering the existence of tools like Pegasus and the past operations and actions of Mossad, along with so many governments adopting Palantir.
At best, you’re blissfully ignorant of things, at worst you’re part of the problem, to think this pre-installed app can simply be stopped by disabling it. If they seek to spy on you, a disablement isn’t going to stop them. It’s laughable you think it is. That you think it isn’t, really shows how little you actually know or understand the technology.
You don’t have evidence that Israeli app developers can’t do this either.
It’s almost as of we’re lacking the money, skills, and manpower of a nation or something.

Sure, you tell yourself that buddy. Israel is happy for you to believe it.
7·2 months agoNonono, it’ll be called a Lightweight Advanced Processor Technology Optimized for Performance
Yes. It’s not the first time it’s been done either. Then there’s the loopholes as well, like Meta was doing recently.

Because Israel has shown itself to be trustworthy when it comes to software /s
Has there been any disruption of profits and influence of western corps due to RISC-V? To my knowledge, not yet and its not a sure thing.
Not yet, but something like Deepseek did disrupt some profits. If RISC-V keeps developing and lowering in costs it my may do the same, but as of now it’s still pretty pricey and experimental in use.
Im not entirely sure your point of view is a win for OS. When other nation states view it as a threat instead of an option it leaves the door open for all the sabotage, etc. that nation states to to each other.
I’m just talking about the hardware here. Hardware is much more agnostic, and the costs going down + it being open means other countries can eventually manufacture their own at a lower start up cost and increased profits compared to say ARM.
I think it will since China has began to fund support for it pretty heavily.
It’s a bit funny how China has been heavily investing into open source, but I guess it makes sense - it’s tech they can use readily and save money on using while also disrupting the profits and influence of western corporations. It’s clearly for political reasons but hey at least the open source community wins
Yeah, I found a much cheaper alternative that ships from Europe for only 35€.
I’m getting conflicting information on Home Connect about the Sky Connect (now named some weird letter/number combo) that says it supports both matter/thread and ZigBee, but also actually it’s experimental so not really and it works for some but not others, but also support for matter/thread is coming in November…
Mostly I’m looking to make the server work with Ikea stuff plus a couple of lights/led strips that are sold locally that use Matter (Wiz lights I think?)
