BTW, I was just researching this last week (the christmas display) and ESP32 has a matter compatible chip now... so you an control all this from Apple Home and the other Smart Home platforms.

Absolutely mind blowing. What a fun time to do side projects.

I think you're confusing Matter and Thread. ESP32-H* have Thread radio, but every esp32 that has wifi is able to talk Matter over WiFi.

I have virtual power outlets and fans that actually just some process on linux.

esp32 has wifi so it it's trivial to hook it to mqtt which then exposes it to home assistant
