Somehow, having a plain, modest-looking piece of wood attached to my wall that is the control for lights, temp, etc. is a lot more attractive to me than anything I've seen to date. (Warning: I may be posting a few things from CES that strike me as cool over the next few days. If it gets to obnoxious, let me know, and I'll CW them...) https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/2/23533816/mui-board-second-gen-smatter-smart-home-control-interface
The new Mui Board Second Gen is a smart home controller that doesn’t look like a smart home controller

Mui Labs’ new Matter-ready smart home controller is a piece of wood that you can touch to control smart home devices. It will cost $599 and is expected to launch in November 2023.

@barbk Hey I can’t use Mui if I (still) can’t access my Apple Home after 16.2. It’s been radio silence from Apple. Any idea when a fix will be released?

@patterns as far as I know, the fix hasn't been issued yet and no word on when. Sorry.
