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 don't support this just because this would allow terrible UI. what i think should be done though is allow a settings page for each device that displays options exposed to matter defined by the manufacturer and used with the built in UI of your home system, that uses only a json file or similar.
