My Matter Adventure.
Like others here in this forum, I have also had some troubles with Matter.
Every time there was an OS update, or a restart of Nodered, Matter came with a fatal error.
The first few times I deleted the Matter library, and started over.
So to pinpoint what was wrong. I moved most of the lamps to another node,
because of the WAF factor.
The next time a fatal error came, I tried removing the command nodes, and restarted,
when Nodered was up and running again, I put the command nodes back in.
Then I added delay nodes to the outputs, that also worked, but caused a one second delay.
The next thing was, I made the delay in the start up node, which works.
But when I made the node for the next lamp, fatal error. I had to set the delay to 5 seconds
in both nodes.
Everything was running fine until I came back from vacation, and only one lamp worked, the others wouldn't accept commands.
The first thing I tried was to delete Matter again, but only one lamp could be activated.
The next thing was to reset the other lamps, but in vain. (5 X power off/on)
Then I found on the internet that the lamp had to be uninstalled in the app and then (3 X power off/on)
Then the lamp into the app again and viola into Matter too.
I have had a defective lamp, so it was impossible to remove it from Matter, so it lay there like a zombie,
then again delete Matter, and start over.
The latest thing that's been bothering me is that I have a lamp connected to a socket that is also used when vacuuming,
so if I forget to plug it back in before it needs a command, it won't start again,
until I refresh the node.
But all in all, it all works pretty well.
Ps. all my lamps are WIZ

I think I will stick with zigbee for the moment.

I now have a stable system that seems to quite happily withstand Nodered restarts or even reboots of the raspberry pi. Admittedly it is a very limited system using only one IKEA MYGGBETT door/window sensor in conjunction with @sammachin/node-red-matter-controller and @sammachin/node-red-matter-bridge on a pi Zero 2w running 64bit pi OS trixie and the Aqara Hub M100. This has allowed me to resolve the issues I have with the unreliability of the Somfy app and Connectivity Kit in controlling opening/closing of their blinds, by creating a flow that controls the blinds with feedback of the blind status using the MYGGBETT sensor.
I think some of the Matter issues in the past was due to having leftover bits of matter connections on my devices when experimenting with it.

I think you may have a different definition of that to me! 😃
I'm with Colin, Zigbee (and Wi-Fi and 433MHz!) is plenty good enough for me.

Yes, since I see how many apps are updated almost daily. (It must be bad programmers) Then I must say that Matter is stable. I just made my own little wrapper around startup.
Nodered starts up and is ready before Matter is ready so I have to wait until Matter is ready.
