Great Video. I must admit I was finding it rather frustrating. Then watched your great video and Bingo I had my first 4 Matter Smart Bulbs installed and working on Home Assistant. Thanks again. 👍

Thanks for the video tutorial. I am running HA via virtual box on windows 11. Do you need the matter device to be connected to thread border router like Echo first? As when I try to add matter device is gives thread border router needed. If I try connecting after connecting it first to echo, if fails too, not sure what I should do differently , any suggestions?
So connection with Echo or Home Assistant are two different paths. You can connect it via Echo ( your echo should be updated with latest firmware) or you can connect it via Home assistant app which uses the matter server ( the add-on I installed in the video ) to detect devices. If you are still getting errors check the last chapter of the video to make sure that you have Ipv6 enabled.
I did some research around this. Matter 1.0 is supported over Wifi, Ethernet and Thread. Thread uses a Mesh network and hence a Matter device over Thread can relay signal to other devices, while in the case of using Matter over Wifi, a mesh network is not possible as Wifi does not support mesh networks. In my video here, I used the matter device over my Wifi network and connected it to Home Assistant. I hope I answered your question.

I will assume since you did not mention Thread, that this video detailed a matter over wifi plug
device ?
@@jeffbrown183 yes..
Very good video. Thank you for sharing. I will use what I have learned to try and connect a new Aqara U200 lock.
Glad I could help 🙂
Thank you!

Thanks A LOT !!!
A new video on this coming up in this.
Is it important to build a matter mesh network just like zigbee ?
I did some research around this.
Matter 1.0 is supported over Wifi, Ethernet and Thread.

Does anybody know how to setup a standalone matter server that i can communicate through websockets
I have this running as a docker container. Check the article in the video description.
I can't find Matter Server in my add-on store, am I doing something wrong?
Weird. The addon is provided officially.
Even after clicking the button on the bottom to search the addons?
