Apparently, 54% of smart home users in the US and Europe want any new product they buy to work with their existing devices. Shocking news. Mainly because the number is so small.

Z-Wave, the organization behind the survey, has a head start here as all Z-Wave products are backward compatible. But — and here’s the rub — as of right now Matter and Z-Wave still don’t work together.
