Hi,
Has anyone here on the list had experience of https://matrix.org ?
After a quick skim, it looks interesting. I was after any ‘Stopped
using it because...’ stories to avoid adding it to my list of things to
poke about sometime.
Matrix is an open source project that publishes the Matrix open
standard for secure, decentralised, real-time communication, and its
Apache licensed reference implementations.
Maintained by the non-profit Matrix.org Foundation, we aim to create
an open platform which is as independent, vibrant and evolving as
the Web itself... but for communication.
As of June 2019, Matrix is out of beta, and the protocol is fully
suitable for production usage.
Matrix gives you simple HTTP APIs and SDKs (iOS, Android, Web) to
create chatrooms, direct chats and chat bots, complete with
end-to-end encryption, file transfer, synchronised conversation
history, formatted messages, read receipts and more.
Conversations are replicated over all the servers participating in
them, meaning there are no single point of control or failure. You
can reach any other user in the global Matrix ecosystem of over 9M
users, even including those on other networks via bridges.
...
By building bridges to as many IoT silos as possible, data can be
securely published on the Matrix network. IoT solutions built on
Matrix are unified, rather than locked to specific vendors, and can
even publish or consume Matrix data directly from devices via
ultra-low bandwidth transports (100bps or less)

Cheers, Ralph.
