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 ⇢

Adding Dimming to the Matter Light Switch – pt2

The Matter chip-tool doesn’t work on Windows so I use a Raspberry Pi instead!
I wanted to be able to run the Matter chip-tool on Windows. Mostly so I could learn about commissioning and binding. As I was starting to tinker with Matter devices like Light Switches, I needed the chip-tool. This is because some devices need “binding”, which I can’t do in Home… Read ⇢
