  • Building a .Net Matter Controller – Commissioning Flow

    I’m trying to build my own .Net Matter Controller. In my first post, I looked at how I was able to discover a Matter device using Bluetooth LE. The next step in Commissioning is to connect to the device and start sending it instructions. Using Bluetooth is not the only… Read ⇢

  • The ESP-Matter Light Switch Example and iOS

    In this post, I’m going to see how the ESP Matter Light Switch example works, or doesn’t work, with iOS. By the end of this post, I hope to have demonstrated the Matter Light Switch. I’ll be using Matter-over-Thread and Matter-over-WiFi. I will use an ESP32-H2 for the Thread device… Read ⇢

  • 3rd Revision of my PCB and still a lot to learn!

    I received the 3rd revision of my Zigbee PCBs from Aisler today and unfortunately, there are still small issues. Revision 3 of the these boards saw me switch from SMD to through-hole. Working with surface mounted components seemed like a great idea, but without the proper tools, I wasn’t equipped… Read ⇢
