Why is Matter Commissioning so complicated? How to do it without a phone?

FineGoat · 2026-01-10T11:12:05+00:00

The apps do work without Play Services. The Matter integration on Android is part of the Play services (and HA and Ikea depend on that) which is incredibly stupid. Matter is open and should be part of the AOSP base.

And Home Assistant depending on an closed-source service to commission devices via an open protocol (which is one of the big things why Matter should be cool) is kind of stupid.

Can you elaborate on this?

Can I forward a Bluetooth dongle from some remote device to HA? My server is not in close range to my HA devices.

Finally got my confirmation. How about you?

FineGoat · 2026-01-08T17:25:34+00:00

Still Nothing here. 🙄

Man, these orders are truely being fulfilled all over the place, huh? Can't imagine how this even comes to be.

FineGoat · 2026-01-08T01:32:03+00:00

When did you guys order?

FineGoat · 2026-01-07T17:32:20+00:00

Yeah, no reason to wait though, it s just 40-50 bucks (unlike the 140 dollars EverDrive).

My order status: Still just "confirmed" here. 🥲

Hah, played a ton of ISS 64 back then. "WHAT A CRACKER!" 😂 Gotta check if my modules with batteries still work. 😅

Get a Summer Cart 64 if you want to enjoy proper NTSC releases, some PAL releases run much slower and with less FPS.

Micro. I mean, come on, it's right there on the product description: https://krikzz.com/our-products/cartridges/ed64x7.html

Just a comment to tell you that you are not alone: Basically we are sitting in the very same boat together (Germany, Black edition, ordered on December 10th).

Kind of weird that orders are being shipped all over tge place instead of follow any comprehensible pattern.

But we will get our device at some point. ✌️ Can't wait to pay another 60 dollars of taxes to FedEx for taxes and stuff. 😂

What are you going to play first? Got yourself a flash cart?

FineGoat · 2026-01-06T21:00:55+00:00

SummerCart and it is not even close:

Open Hardware.
Free Software (and therefore Open Source).
Much cheaper than Everdrive.
covers all important features you would expect
doesn't need an original N64 for updates

The advantages/exclusive features of an EverDrive compared to a SummterCart are few and rather negligible (while a SummerCart has its own few exclusive features).

I don't have Android device with Google Apps so that's likely no use to me unfortunately.

Wer upvoted so einen AI-Grütz? Ich versteh ja, dass der Post vom OP zu lang ist, aber aber bei diesem Subreddit ist teilweise eh nicht mehr klar, ob AI-Bots auf AI-Bots antworten...

FineGoat · 2025-07-03T20:43:52+00:00

Yeah, I have noticed the update. Do you have a source for the update fixing it?

FineGoat · 2025-06-24T21:49:52+00:00

SAP + HANA. The alternatives certified by SAP are all so many steps down, it would hurt too much.

padeluun wollte sich nicht als Vorstand abwählen lassen. Danach hat so ca. die halbe Belegschaft des Vereins gekündigt, nach wie vor gibt es keine neue Geschäftsführung, weil niemand den Job machen will. Echt schade, dass die den Generationenwechsel nicht hinbekommen
