SmartThings is the first platform to support Matter cameras.
Samsung is rolling out the update this month, and it’s working with Aqara, Eve and Ulticam on Matter cameras. Jennifer Pattison Tuohy called it:

Assuming Microsoft does not form it’s own “white army” to fight back, a gradual transition could be affected through legislation that required the government to use non-proprietary alternatives, in which case the legal profession would be forced to transition to the new software and suck-up all the annoyances of learning how to use the new software.
But I don’t think that will ever happen without a total overthrow of the current government first. Tech companies like Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet are effectively the government, and anyone who says there is a distinction between government and publicly traded corporations are either fools or liars.
(Yes, I am kind of bitter about it.)
