Hey everyone! Just found out that Google Home hubs can now work locally thanks to Matter.

Google Assistant will still turn on the lights even when you’re offline! Plus, Google is opening its Home APIs to all developers, making it easier to create more integrations and automations. This is a big step forward for smart home tech.
