3. Changing the mode of the thermostat works in both directions. I have to use in my scripts heat / off instead of on / off.

For the matter plugin to work you need a running matter-js-server (setup with docker: https://github.com/matter-js/matterjs-s ... /docker.md)
Matter alone can run on your local network, e.g. with Tasmota32-nodes.

If you want to use the wireless standard thread, that is needed for e.g. the new Ikea devices, you need a Thread-border-router.
There are many thread border routers available.
The commercial ones:

• Apple TV

• Apple Homepod

• Google Nest Hub

• Amazon Echo dot

• Ikea dirigera (newest version)

just to name a few
Then there the open source ones:

• Home Assistant ZBT-2

• Openthread border router (ESP)

I use the Openthread ESP router https://openthread.io/guides/border-rou ... ssif-esp32 myself, which I ordered from Aliexpress. But this has no housing and needs you to compile the firmware yourself.

FunFair wrote: Friday 12 June 2026 17:21 I just got my ZBT-2 stick and flashed the Matter/Thread firmware through HomeAssistant. The device is found correctly, but I want to use it in Domoticz, not HA.

So I've installed the matterjs-server, configured the plugin and that works fine, but what should I do now?
ChatGPT tells me to install the Open Thread Border Router, is this the way? The docker container of OTBR refuses to start correctly and won't host it's web interface. So I am wondering if I am on the right track or not.

Anyone with experience?

The procedure without dockers ?

waltervl wrote: Monday 22 June 2026 21:40 Follow the install instructions of matter.js? The link to matter.js is in the wiki.

On Windows, in order to successfully build all the packages (tested on Windows 11 Pro) make sure to have installed Node.js 20+, the windows-build-tools and node-gyp version 10. On Non-Windows platforms and having Python 3.12+ installed, please also make sure to use npm 10.2.3+.

waltervl wrote: Sunday 21 June 2026 23:47 What seems to be missing is the part to connect the thread router (eg OTBR) to matter.js server. Does it needs some extra steps or does it connect to matterjs automatically? Is it described somewhere else (I could not find it).
