Strange, I have four different kinds of IKEA remotes, the oldest being over five years old and they all work happily with ZHA.

I got the square ones a few years ago and they kept on dropping from the network. In the meantime, a few firmware updates later I migrated to HA and now they are rock solid, don’t know if it’s due to consolidating Ikea, Hue and Aquara Zigbee networks into a single ZHA mesh or the firmware getting better, but I suspect that it’s due to a single optimized mesh instead three colliding Zigbee networks.

For cloud backup it is wise to encrypt. Guess they will implement op-out for local backup in a future release.

This true in part.
A lot of Matter devices do not use WiFi, they need a Thread Border Router ( https://matter-smarthome.de/en/know-how/what-is-a-thread-border-router/ ).
Some recent Matter over WiFi devices also support 5Ghz WiFi.

Pssst, don’t tell my 50 Matter devices paired with Homeassistant and HomeKit. If my HA server crashes we can still control everything with the HomeKit app.
