No Code Matter Project: Turn an ESP into a Matter compatible device in 15 minutes

With this short tutorial you can build your matter compatible project without writing a single code. Get a cheap ESP32 microcontroller, add some relays and you are ready to go. All with Espressif Zero Code environment.

excellent job

[@hoekbrwr]

Seems to be the best route to realise these kind of projects in the future!

[@csongorvarga]

So far almost looks too good to be true.

I am with you on the garage door project. However, the Matter team has not moved yet on implementing the Garage Door Device Type into the protocol. So, for now, you would only be able to make an inching dry contact switch for the door button. It would likely not be able to display as a 'Garage Door' in HomeKit like a real Matter Device Type should once implemented.

[@csongorvarga]

Yes, I am thinking about the same. A simple switch with inching. It would be good enough until the proper device type is added to Matter. I mean this is such a basic thing, I don't understand why this was in included in the beginning.

[@csongorvarga]

I am in email discussion with the Espressif team, they are working on a solution now to implement inching for a simple switch.

[@csongorvarga]

Yes, it would be just like a simple switch or plug. So you would not be able to say "open the garage door", only "turn on the garage door" 😀

I'm excited to try this with a couple cheap ESP32 boards and LED light strips. Move over WLED, Matter is coming for you.

[@Bigglare]

I have the little board from Home Assistant's matter workshop hanging around wondering what I could do with it. Looks like you can also order samples and mass produce. Matter over Thread LED controllers.

I have seen the WS2821 tempate and was wondering what it can do. I have not seen much effect support in Google so far. So one more project to try.
