In this article, I’m sharing a way to expose devices you have paired in Home Assistant as a Matter device.

matter.js is a TypeScript/JavaScript implementation of the Matter protocol.

The built-in HA Matter integration for adding real Matter devices to HA.

The matterbridge(Luligu) is a bridge, for exposing HA entities to other Matter controllers(Alexa/Google/Apple).

The project is build on top of https://github.com/project-chip/matter.js.

 

There are several advantages actually:

1. Works completely locally over Matter

2. Much easier setup process (one pairing code for all devices)

3. Do not need to do it indivudlaly for Google Home, Alexa, Apple Home.

4. Great for exposing unsupported devices e.g. DIY Devices
