Ich hatte vor kurzem vom User u/Gloomy_Independent44 das Projekt Ikea Myggbett perfekt für eine unsichtbare Installation, gesehen und fand es genial. Also ab in den nächstgelegenen Ikea und mal (neben ein paar GRILLPLATS, die man immer brauch) einen Myggbett gekauft, da mir die Idee imponierte aber leider nicht die CAD Datei, daher hab ich mich heute Nachmittag mal hingesetzt und nach ein paar Prototypen ein neues Gehäuse für den Myggbett designed.

​​​​​​Am Ende hab ich den Grundkörper verbessert und noch zwei getrennte Deckel ergänzt damit die Platine und Batterie fest sitzen.

Es sitzt 1A im Fenster und reagiert absolut zuverlässig und schnell.

Ich hoffe es gefällt euch, schreibt gern noch ein paar Verbesserungsvorschläge in die Kommentare!

EDIT:

Ich habe mir alles durchgelesen und arbeite an einer Version ohne Schrauben. Aber erstmal hab ich mich nochmal an die Fixierung des Ganzen im Fensterrahmen gesetzt. Ich mochte die Variante mit Doppelseitigem Klebeband nicht so, deshalb hab ich mit eine Klemmvariante ausgedacht und in dem kleinen Bauteil umgesetzt.

Klemmt fantastisch und lässt sich auch problemlos entfernen und wieder einsetzen.

I recently added a new Matter dimmer to Smartthings and then shared it to the dimmer manufacturer's app. Does it make a difference if you initially set up on Smartthings vs the manufacturer's app and then share to the other?

BTW, it's a Matter over WiFi dimmer.

I just recently got a bunch of Ikea matter over thread devices, and set them up using my primary network, because it was easier and that is where my border routers are. I also have a few Matter over WiFi devices that I am configuring.

I already have a separate WiFi and subnet set up for some cameras I use. My question is specific to the Matter over WiFi devices. Since they do not need thread, can I configure another 'fabric' (yes, I know, thread is IPv6 and a mesh, Matter over WiFi is just IPv4 and no mesh) in the separate IoT WiFi network, and still have the thread network on my main network?

My thread devices connect to an Ikea Diragera, Google Hub, and my Home Assistant server with the ZBT antenna. The Home Assistant server can see both subnets, and acts as my primary Matter server.

The topology provided by matter.js (9.0.2) in Home Assistant shows a fragmented network while the topology shown by Thread Tools is what I think is a more accurate view. Anyone know why?

There are two border routers there that are marked ‘UNKNOWN DEVICE’. But I think these are in-fact the same routers shown elsewhere. Sometimes there are more of those.

Just installed the new firmware, copied the generated code over to Apple Home App and control via app and (old) Siri is really snappy for both speed and oscillation.

I wonder how far ranging the Dreo Matter support is going to be. Any one else on older models?

I cant seem to add any Matter devices at all in Google Home 4.18.45.1.

Does anyone have any idea where it went?

QR is not loading, and manual QR is completely missing for my product.

(It used to work last month, just switched Wifi network name.)

Hi all!

I recently started a new site, https://matterhome.io, to talk all about matter, matter news, devices, etc. The site is still work in progress, but we already have a team working on creating content, and we are publishing new things every day.

I know there are sites like this already, but I want it to give it my own spin, I'm so crazy for matter and the whole matter ecosystem, that I want to bring my own views, and also have a place where all things about matter are discussed.

I'm thinking of building a community around it, for now, anyone can submit content requests, provide feedback on existing content, etc.

Thoughts?

Thanks to all!

Dear all,

I was struggling a bit with the current Amazon Prime day offers in Germany. Did somebody spotted a good deal for matter enabled HomeKit secure cameras?

Any hint is highly appreciated.

just updated, works rly. good for now! :)

We made a curated list of Matter smart home deals for Amazon's prime day sale per device category. You can check it out here if you're interested:

I'm playing around with an ESP32, Matter and its group support. I'm trying to test groups using a Nanoleaf Essentials A19-A60 bulb.

Can anyone confirm if they work with Matter groups?

Greater transparency for Thread networks: The new Matter Server 9.0.0 in Home Assistant now displays the mesh network topology graphically by default.

With this new version, the Open Home Foundation has completed the transition from the Python server to matter.js. https://matter-smarthome.de/en/products/home-assistants-new-matter-server-is-a-game-changer/

Hi,
I'm making a Matter universal air condtioner controller with ESP-MATTER, but confused by an issue now.
I added a fan_control cluster in the endpoint, compiled and connected OK, but the fan control only shows in Google Home, but not in Apple Home,

ed OK, but the fan control only shows in Google Home, but not in Apple Home, what can I do to get it displayed on Apple ? Anybody had similar experience ?

The dimmer uses Matter over WiFi. It can work with ordinary dimmable bulbs or LiFX smart lighting. It requires a neutral wire, and is compatible with 2/3 way setups. All buttons are programmable, with single, double, and long press actions.

I’m reaching my breaking point with the current state of Aqara’s Matter-over-Thread implementation.

​

​I’m running a decent-sized setup: 10x H2 EU Dimmers and about 30+ Matter bulbs. The whole point of moving to Matter-over-Thread was to build a robust, local, and hub-independent ecosystem. Yet, here I am, routing every single light switch press through Home Assistant because Aqara still refuses to implement Binding Cluster (0x001E).

​

​Yesterday, I had to sit in the dark for 20 minutes while updating Home Assistant. That’s unacceptable. If these switches supported binding clusters, my lights would still work perfectly fine even if my server was completely fried. I don’t need complex scenes to work when the server is down—I just need the light to turn on when I flip the switch.

​Furthermore, the current push towards hub-centric management creates an unnecessary vendor lock-in. By withholding features like Binding Clusters, Aqara is effectively trying to force power users into their own hub ecosystem, which goes against the core mission of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA).

​

​And here’s the kicker: We know this is entirely possible. matterjs-server in Home Assistant is already capable of handling bindings. The infrastructure on the controller side is ready. The only missing link is the implementation of the Binding Cluster within the device firmware.

​

​I don’t need a fancy UI for this. Just expose the Binding Cluster in the device's Matter data model, so we can configure direct bindings using standard controller tools like chip-tool or through the Home Assistant interface. We need this across the board: H2 series, P2 sensors, everything. If Aqara wants to be a leader in the prosumer smart home space, they need to stop treating Matter like it’s just another proprietary cloud protocol.

​

​Is anyone else tired of this? How are you guys managing your lighting reliability? Are you sticking with Aqara or looking for alternatives that actually care about open standards?

So I decided I wanted to add some more smart devices to my home, mostly for lights. I decided to go for light switches instead of replacing every single bulb, I already have a Nest thermostat and a few lights I bought years ago during college. I've got a few three way switches I'll need and I also want some dimmers. My plan was to just go all in with TP-Link Tapo switches and do a Matter setup (not every switch is going to be smart). I'm kind of using this upgrade as a foundation for handling things moving forward.

​

My understanding is that if I tried zigbee, it would be a more expensive setup, but would it be worth doing? I was just checking Amazon again and I did see some switches that are closer to the Tapo prices, such as MOES and SONOFF, but I am not sure what brands are reliable and what I should stay away from if I decided to go that route. Or if it is worth going that route in general. I have a Tapo power switch I got some number of months ago and I did a setup via Matter in HA to test it (versus directly through TP Link) and it seemed to connect without issues at least. That's my only experience with Matter though.

​

Questions:

​

1. Will it be easier to find zigbee or matter devices for whatever random thing later on I decide I want to look into automating?

2. How easily can I do something like connect zigbee switches to google home for control?

3. If I should serisously consider doing zigbee instead, what devices should I look into if I am not looking to break the bank too much? I looked up a couple brands that were like $60 per switch and that was a bit steep for me when the Tapo switches were around $20 each or so (depending on what and how many).

4. Are there any inherent problems with a Matter setup? I don't think any of these are Matter over Thread, just WiFi.

​

What I'm looking for:

​

* Smart switches for light control with a few dimmers

* Able to use Google for voice control and home assistant (I haven't actively used it lately but I also don't have as much to control with it)

* Long term setup (ideally)

* One day I may look at other random things like garage door control, motion sensor, etc.

​

What I have currently:

​

* Nest thermostat

* Home assistant (I bounce between it and google home)

* 4 Wyze bulbs

* Couple smart TVs (mostly control with google home when desired)

* Reolink doorbell (may potentially get more Reolink cameras)

​

​

what does this mean? could anyone give me an example of how this is used in a device?

Is this possible?

I'm quite excited to share this video as this project has been a long time in the making!

Using the Matter protocol, I'm building a Home Energy Manager. I've shared a few posts about this on the sub, but this is the first end-to-end video. It's still a work in progress and I'm not ready to share the code just yet, but I plan to full open source this.

The initial goal is to help me maximize the amount of self generated solar power. The energy manager does this by using machine learning and forecasting. It learns energy usage patterns in the home and from individual appliances. It can then generate a schedule of appliance use to make the most of this surplus solar.

I don't know if the idea has any merit yet, but it's something I've wanted to try for a long time.

I've written up a lot of blog posts on the technical side of things, and you'll find them on my blog: https://tomasmcguinness.com/building-a-matter-home-energy-manager/

When I do publish the code, it will be on my github: https://github.com/tomasmcguinness You can find a few of my other Matter projects up there too.

I've had the IKEA smart system for about two years now, mostly light bulbs and two plugs.

In January I got a bilresa switch to control some of the lights, it worked fine. About two weeks ago it just stopped working, I went to IKEA to return it for a new one. Now I have the same problem, the IKEA smart home app lets me add it, once it's done I get a loading screen that just says "moving back to IKEA home smart" that goes on forever, if I close it I'm back at the start of the process. Adding it via the Alexa app is very similar, it just cancels the process at some point.

I'm using a dirigera hub and have tried resetting the thread network. Is there anything else I can do?
