We've added a new brand to the Vesternet line-up, and it's one we think a lot of you will get on with. ThirdReality makes Zigbee and Matter devices that are refreshingly practical — well-engineered, openly compatible with the platforms our customers actually use (Home Assistant, Hubitat, SmartThings, Homey), and built with the kind of details that matter once you live with smart home kit day-to-day.
The standout for us? Most of their sensors run on standard AA or AAA batteries rather than fiddly coin cells, so long-term running costs are lower and replacements are easier. Add regular OTA firmware updates and an active community, and you've got devices that stay useful well after installation.
Here's a quick tour of the 14 ThirdReality products now available at Vesternet.
