What does HackerNews think of connectedhomeip?
Matter (formerly Project CHIP) creates more connections between more objects, simplifying development for manufacturers and increasing compatibility for consumers, guided by the Connectivity Standards Alliance.
Language:
C++
Matter was founded by Amazon, Apple, Google, and the Zigbee alliance. Apache-2 licensed. HA seems to embracing Matter/Thread pretty heavily.

> Open source reference implementation: Google, Apple, Home Assistant, we're all going to be running the same code to be a Matter controller. Chip manufacturers like Espressif and Nordic maintain implementations for their boards in there too, so anyone can now have the software to produce Matter compatible light bulbs. https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip
Will have to go through that documentation later, but are there any chips like ESP32/ESP8266 that hobbyists can use? Specifically for Thread.
They will because there is an open source reference implementation that they can use: https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip
