Public Announcement - Feature Freeze

As the development of this project is conducted in my spare time alongside work and family commitments, my availability to implement new features or address bugs is limited. Additionally, I must make architectural and strategic decisions for this project, which sometimes necessitate significant refactoring efforts.

In light of this, I am officially announcing a "feature freeze" as I prepare for a major update to the application. During this period, no new features will be implemented, and only critical bugs — those that render the application non-functional — will be addressed until the ongoing refactoring is complete. This process is expected to take approximately 1 to 2 months.

Key changes included in this update will be as follows:

• The application will no longer be based on matterbridge; a new user interface will be developed, replacing the existing one.
• The application will be renamed from matterbridge-home-assistant to home-assistant-matter-hub and relocated to a new GitHub repository (which is not yet publicly accessible).
• Users will need to uninstall their current instance of matterbridge-home-assistant and install the new home-assistant-matter-hub (which will be made available soon). This transition will also require re-pairing with your Matter controllers.

All updates on this will be posted in the corresponding discussion in GitHub. Make sure to subscribe to this announcement thread.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Installation

Open Home Assistant and navigate to the addon settings.

Open up the Add-On store and open the "Repositories" menu in the top-right corner.

Enter the URL of the GitHub Repo to the list of your add-on repositories (https://github.com/t0bst4r/matterbridge-home-assistant-addon).

After the repository is added, refresh your Add-On Store page and find the Add-On in your list of Add-Ons.

Open the Add-On page and click "install".

Before starting the plugin open the configuration tab and enter your configuration.

Start the addon and find the commissioning QR code in the Add-On logs or the web ui. This code can be used to connect your Matter clients (like Alexa, Apple Home or Google Home) to the bridge.
