Flic and matter beta
-
I understand that Flic has taken approach where Flic is the center of the home, the opera conductor as you say, and you use it's interface to program all of your home. So far it seems Matter (beta) only exists to make the Hub a matter controller like you have told, it doesn't work as a matter bridge - something that would solve / would have solved Home Assistant, Alexa and Google support and, to be honest, would more of create a connected home instead of isolated islands. Flic just isn't the ecosystem to be the "center of the smart home" in todays smart homes of a hundred of connected devices.
Thus I ask - is the plan in the near future, this year, to bring in a way or another Flic devices discoverable to Home Assistant and/or Alexa?

Matter bridge on home assistant would bridge home assistant controllable devices as matter devices to Flic. But that is oppposite of what would be useful. I have hard time seeing Flic being used as the "center of the home automation" when you have Home Assistant. So Flic hub would need to be the matter bridge, not the controller. -
