Philips Wiz with Matter

So bought myself a few Wiz bulbs that are Matter enabled/certified. Is it worth integrating it into HA with Matter or with the Wiz integration? Which is faster and/or more reliable?

Did you find an answer to your question? Considering getting these instead of Hue because of price and wondering if Matter is a more reliable way to control them vs WiFi

Oh sorry! Didn’t see your message.

I have them running for 4-5 months now over Wifi, with the Wiz integration in Home Assistant and not Matter (also Matter goes through Wifi, it does not support Thread).

I didn’t have a single issue yet.

Thanks! I ended up getting them and installed them directly using Matter over WiFi and they have been working well.

I replaced dimmable LED lights that were controlled by Caseta dimmers. I replaced the Caseta dimmers with a Z Wave Scene controller, and the only downside to this is that if HA is down for some reason we can’t control the lights :sweat_smile: It’s rare, but of course the few times I’m messing with the network or doing something with the HA VM is when my SO needs the lights
