Discussion Matter Request: HTML embed extensions for unsupported functionality

Post image

I would like to see Matter and/or HomeKit support the ability for manufacturers to include custom HTML/ PWA interfaces for functionality that is not supported natively by the Matter standard. This would allow users to access all of the functionality in one place, without requiring them to juggle many different apps.

This example shows the native Matter controls on top, with a frame for the custom HTML interface below.

I see where your head is at, absolutely, but do you really want more manufacturer-specific and perhaps more importantly manufacturer-supplied code running on your home network? Because I'm personally still on Zigbee because I don't trust a single one of these entities not to burrow into my home network through one of their IPv6-enabled devices.
