I don’t work for Inovelli, so I can’t comment on future projects that I don’t know of. But from what I’ve seen, all in flight projects are coming from “V”.

What is the max extent in x, y, and z? Even if it is a rough estimate, that would be great so I know how many I can and should order for my setup?
From what I can tell skimming the developer documentation, this is technically possible. It partially depends on how Inovelli exposes its custom functionality as matter clusters, and I’m still not completely clear on what the story is for manufacturer-specific custom clusters in Matter, but it seems like this would probably work.
Also I found an existing iOS app that seems to allow you to send matter commands to a connected device. Obviously not at all user-friendly, but it’s a demonstration of what’s possible using the apple SDKs. I didn’t look for an Android equivalent, but I imagine it would probably exist.
My expectation is that the various Matter controller “ecosystems” (Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and even to some extent Home Assistant) will build support for the core Matter clusters into their native apps, but that if a device manufacturer needs custom functionality, like a manufacturer-specific cluster, or a UI that sends and receives data over Matter and uses it to set detection parameters visually, then it’s on the manufacturer (or their community) to build it.
I wonder if someone in the Inovelli community would be interested in writing an open-source app for this purpose. It seems completely implausible for any company but Inovelli, but Inovelli just might be able to pull it off. I don’t have any experience writing mobile apps, but if some effort like this gets off the ground, I might be interested in helping with some of the backend/Matter layer.

Will the location sensing events (motion/presence) be sent over zigbee so they can be used as part of automations independently from local load or dimming control?
For example, I want to trigger automations based on the readings from a particular switch but not impact the current state of the light connected to that switch.
Yes, that’s the plan.
