Blinds & Locks? What are people happy with on a budget in 2025

If you want to go even cheaper: Switchbot blind-tilt. They are bluetooth but they are Matter compatible through their hub.

I use Switchbot Blond Tilt connected to the Switchbot Hub 2 brought into HE via Matter. I use the SwitchBot Curtain 3 as well the same way. I have had several different locks and honestly the Aqara U100 Zigbee lock has been my best experience to this point.

I know absolutely zilch about Matter. I've had my head in the sand for 2 years. I do have a modern Apple TV 4K and a Hubitat C7. I guess I need to figure this out.
