   @thomasfuchs presumably it upgrades the architecture of your home.

   Maybe it puts in new windows? A more efficient fridge?

     @thomasfuchs The primary things you’ll see on upgrade are that it’s more reliable and more efficient, as the support article says. The new architecture doesn’t expose any specific new features.

     Upgrades to a protocol that all the vendors are converging on. If you have other integrations like Homebridge it still works

     This seems to give you enough to figure the rest of the technical details out

     @thomasfuchs It still doesn’t fix Siri not always being able to access devices that are working perfectly well in the Home app, but why would they fix Siri?

     @thomasfuchs It's about support for the Matter standard https://developer.apple.com/apple-home/matter/ There are UI changes but I can't remember what

     @thomasfuchs They definitely still know how to sell things. As I understand the upgrade, a home hub is now required (at least that’s what it claimed when I tried the upgrade). If you don’t have a HomePod or an Apple TV, you’ll need to do some shopping😀
