Don’t believe Matter will cure the problem, it is late (again) and no date except late 2022, when we will see how little will work cross platform but don’t expect your cameras, doorbells or robot vacuum cleaners to work until v2 (or v3) is released.
If you think Matter will control an Aqara FP1 presence sensor locally then it will not happen, you will still need to add it to the Aqara server in China.
Zigbee2MQTT and a MQTT broker allows local control and is not as scary as you might think.
Hubitat was at the time a way for me to import Zigbee (and Tasmota mains plugs) devices into Indigo due to Jon’s Hubitat plugin but for just 2 or 3 devices I would not fork out £135.00, I have now over 50 Zigbee devices which compared with Z-Wave prices has been paid for my Hubitat.
So for me Matter does not matter.
