[REQUEST] Add all the Matter 1.0 Device Types and Application Clusters supported by Google Home ecosystem?

Copied from node-matter discussion-> mfucci/node-matter#133

Google Home Ecosystem interoperable compatibility for its Matter 1.0 supported device types and actions?

Please consider prioritizing support for all Matter 1.0 Device Types and Application Clusters listed as supported by Google Home Ecosystem:

https://developers.home.google.com/matter/get-started

https://developers.home.google.com/matter/supported-devices

https://console.home.google.com/

Google Home ecosystem includes controlling devices via its Google Home app, Google Assistant, Google Nest speakers, and Google Hub.

Use case # 1 : Google Home App opt-in Public Preview Program app pre-release is now rolling out updates with initial Matter support so prioritizing that would mean users will be able to use Google Home app and Google Assistant as a client to control supported device types.

Use case # 2 : Google Nest Hub (2nd gen) opt-in Developer Preview Program firmware will soon roll out updates with initial Matter 1.0 controller/server support so would mean that Google Nest Hub (2nd gen) will be able to act as a device bridge for non-Matter devices.

FYI, an opt-in Developer Preview Program sign-up page already exists that you can access on your Android or iPhone (iOS) phone/tablet by following this local URL It will allow you to request an invite when the program is available -> googlehome://settings/app-preview-program

You can also now enable opt-in Developer Preview Program firmware seperate per Google Nest speaker or display and Google Chromecast:

Other user interfaces including soon-to-be-launched opt-in preview version of Google Home with a new look and initial Matter 1.0 support:

• Google Home website (and beta web interface)
  • https://home.google.com/welcome/
• Google Home (for Android) in Google Play Store
  • https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app
• Google Home (for iOS) in the Apple App Store
  • https://apps.apple.com/se/app/google-home/id680819774

Here is an overview of Google's developers documentation for Matter Device Type conversion to Google Home Ecosystem Type:

Matter Device Type	Application Cluster(s)	Matter Spec	Home Ecosystem Type
Contact Sensor	Boolean State	1.0	Sensor
Dimmable Light	Level Control	1.0	Light
Door Lock	Door Lock	1.0	Lock
Extended Color Light	Color Control (MoveToHueAndSaturation)	1.0	Light
Humidity Sensor	Relative Humidity Measurement	1.0	Sensor
Illuminance Sensor	Illuminance Measurement	1.0	Sensor
On/Off Light	On/Off	1.0	Light
Occupancy Sensor	Occupancy Sensing	1.0	Sensor
Plug	Level ControlOn/Off	1.0	Outlet
Speaker	Level ControlOn/Off	1.0	Speaker
Temperature Sensor	Temperature Measurement	1.0	Thermostat
Thermostat	Thermostat	1.0	Thermostat
Window Covering	Window Covering	1.0	Blinds

Google's developer center allows filtering of supported use cases by supported device integration and that now includes "Matter":

So far these are the initial device categories and device types that Google now looks to have added support for in Google Home Ecosystem:

• Lighting

  • Light -> https://developers.home.google.com/use-cases?device=light
  • Outlet -> https://developers.home.google.com/use-cases?device=outlet
  • Switch -> https://developers.home.google.com/use-cases?device=switch

• Climate

  • Thermostat -> https://developers.home.google.com/use-cases?device=thermostat
  • Air conditioner
  • Blinds -> https://developers.home.google.com/use-cases?device=blinds
  • Fan -> https://developers.home.google.com/use-cases?device=fan

• Safety & security

  • Lock -> https://developers.home.google.com/use-cases?device=lock
  • Sensor -> https://developers.home.google.com/use-cases?device=sensor

• Media & Technology

  • Speaker -> https://developers.home.google.com/use-cases?device=speaker

PS: Obviously Matter 1.0 covers many more additional Device Types and Application Clusters so I assume that Google developers will surely prioritize extending support to additional use cases to at least support all use cases that have a matching Google Home Ecosystem Type:
