Making 2026 Smarter - Matter, Presence, and Automations

Pretty solid year in the forums and smart home. I didn’t really upgrade much like I had hoped but I’m looking forward to doing that in 2026!

FP300 is on the list along with an upgraded hub. I want to automate some lights and switches too. Maybe transfer to a Matter-first network? Maybe Home Assistant? Lots to do and I look forward to sharing it and seeking info and inspiration here!
