iHost Matter Bridge Support for More Device Type like Door Lock

eWeLink CUBE

Hi Ewelink Team ,

Regarding the matter bridge of Ihost , currently the supported types are door contacts , motion occupancy , rgb light , temp/humd sensor & generic switch , my question when the other types will get support such as : smart locks , window shutter (cover or roller ) , multi sensor devices such as occupancy & temp or door contact with temp sensor , and devices with energy meter ? also i noticed that devices added to nspanel pro (matter devices) are not being synced to ihost and cant be used as smart security devices .

Best Regards

i think my post mostly are to matter nspanel

  • Some multi-sensor devices should be supported now; others may be coming in the next version. Matter Bridge need more twists to work with the new Zigbee component.

  • Cover/Blind is also supported now.

  • For energy entity, Google/Alexa/Apple/ST has yet to support Matter 1.3, and the spec just opens for certification, meaning it wonā€™t come that soon.

They are completely different roles in Matter at the moment; my answers above were for iHostā€™s Matter Bridge

5

yes i got it , what about matter at nspanel , will they support the rest of types any time soon or each type takes plenty of coding and time ?

NSP need more work to stabilize while adding new device types:

Here are upcoming ones, as I mentioned before:

  • Dimmable Light
  • On/Off Light

can you check please about smoke and leak detectors please

Are you asking about the eWeLink Matter bridge or controller/hub?

9

about matter bridge , adding zigbee devices like smoke detector , water leak sensor , and expose them to matter through matter bridge

10

@MichaelLearnsToCode Could you tell me where this is? Iā€™ve already connected some Yales to iHost and it seemed to work correctly!

11

I am sorry I donā€™t know what the question is. The ability to bridge smoke detector, water leak sensor to 3rd party Matter fabric, such as Apple Home, Alexa?

Are you using HA over iHost, or eWeLink CUBE over iHost?

12

adding zigbee devices like smoke detector & water leak sensor to ihost , and expose them to matter through ihost matter bridge

14

A light intensity sensor is also needed.

@MichaelLearnsToCode When will Matter Bridge on iHost support extended lighting features like color control?

15

Why are many devices not available for adding via matter bridge? I once unchecked some devices because they were not needed, and now they are not available and grayed out

16

CUBEOS is expected to update with a new version in June. We will continue to optimize the compatibility issues regarding Matter devices in the next, as supporting more device types through both MatterHub and MatterBridge is our ultimate goal.

Could you share your usage scenarios? We can prioritize the development based on their importance. Thank you!

Direct Message to you.Please have a check.

I have a lot of matter motion and presence sensors and smoke sensors, Matter window blinds (Meross MS600; Eve Motion, Heiman HS1SA-M, EVE Motionblinds ). I added the devices to the matter smartthings hub. I use them for various automations.
To control lighting depending on light intensity, detect movement in the room, control window blinds depending on weather conditions and time of day. I would like these devices to be available in the MATTER IHOST CUBEOS HUB.

As for the zigbee devices added to IHOST, I would like to transfer them to matter through the matter IHOST CUBEOS bridge.
The MATTER IHOST CUBEOS bridge does not transfer water leak sensors, smoke sensors, light intensity sensors to matter. Battery level of ZigBee devices. Power consumption reading from plug-in devices is not transferred to matter.

Thank you for your detailed response! I have confirmed these with our product team. We expect to support these features in July, so please stay tuned. Besides, do you have any other suggestions about the compatibility requirements of other devices?

@ociepa.ekotox Iā€™ve just confirmed that Matter Bridge add-on on HA over iHost supports all lighting features, such as state(on/off), brightness, color_temp, color_temp_startup, color_xy, color_hs. I tested it with IKEA TRADFRI bulb.

If you have issues with Matter Bridge function on eWeLink CUBE OS for lighting devices, could you please provide the exact device brand, model, and preferably a photo. My colleagues working on eWeLink CUBE OS will look into it.

Thank you very much for your report and patience as always.

This is an old problem. I reported it in December.
