YoLink Hub 3

So, I finally received an email from YoLink announcing the Hub 3

Unfortunately, by the time I saw the email (5 hours later), it was already sold out.

I have high hopes (perhaps too high) that this would allow local integration through Matter with @kkossev ’s driver.

Did anybody manage to get a hold of one ?

Maybe @sburke781 ?

I've never actually done anything with YoLink myself. Could it have been someone else you had in mind?

My bad! Sorry for the noise. I meant maybe @SteveBarcus, who developed [RELEASE - BETA] - "YoLink™ Device Service" app and drivers to connect Hubitat™ to YoLink™ devices

From the limited discussions I've seen, this new hub doesn't allow local control. It's main features are an internal battery backup and cellular network access to the cloud.

Sad face…. So they ditched their announced Matter hub ?

Last thing I saw on the Discord discussions was that Matter will be released as a firmware update later on. It's being released without it at first. No time frame.

So local support for a cellular hub? Why?

I don’t care about the cellular part, only the local support… but I will buy the hub if it means I get to integrate with Matter. I can ditch the SIM card…
