Explainers

Weekly evergreen: the thing a subscriber still needs in six months. This sample edition has two, both tied to the 15 Aug 2026 brief.

• Matter 1.5, explained

• What the ESPHome Starter Kit actually is

  Snap-apart modules on an ESP32-C6. First official ESPHome product, not a retailer kit.
