This package is designed to allow users to create a Matter Bridge and within that Bridge expose various virtual devices to their Matter controller (eg Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa etc)
The device nodes can then be used to connect to whatever non matter devices the user has in their home and translate the commands and data between them.
As of 0.10.0 (Sep 2024) We support the following device types:
- On/Off Light
- On/Off Socket
- Dimmable Light
- Color Temperature Light
- Extended Colour Light (Full RGB)
- Contact Sensor
- Light Sensor
- Temperature Sensor
- Presure Sensor
- Humidity Sensor
- Occupancy Sensor
- Generic Switch (button)
- Simple Window Coverings (Blinds)
- Position Aware Window Coverings (Blinds)
- Thermostat
- Door Lock
These are the device types supported by most of the major controller platforms, not all controllers will support all device types and not all the features of a device are availble in all controllers.
Note: This pacakge is for creating virtual devices to control from a Matter Controller, if you are wanting to control your real matter hardware devices from node-red then lookout for my upcoming node-red-matter-controller pacakge instead.
v0.10.0 September 2024 has updated the matter.js library to a new version and uses a new API, therefore this should be considered a breaking change and you will likely need to re-commision your devices into your Matter fabric. Flows should not be broken but I can't commit to that.
This is not a certified Matter device and is for development and experimentation only, for more information about Matter and to download the standards goto https://handbook.buildwithmatter.com
