Making buttons / switches functional with exposed through Matter

MarkRB — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 13:10:59 GMT

Hi,

Ikea has done a great job of developing its Dirigera hub to be a Matter Bridge. For example lights as broadcast as Matter devices to Google Home.

The problem is with Ikea buttons like Rodret and Styrbar. Whilst they are functional and may be used in routines in Samsung SmartThings, in Google Home they are just functionless clutter in the Google Home app.

Any hope of making these switches / buttons functional?

I recently ordered the development of a self-service portal for customers https://lightpointglobal.com/services/web-development/self-service-portals, and it turned out to be a great solution for optimizing business processes. Now my customers can solve many issues themselves: track orders, manage their data, and get support without having to contact the support service. This has significantly reduced the workload of my staff and increased customer satisfaction. The professional development team took into account all my requirements and made the implementation process simple and effective.

I have observed the same behaviour. I can't understand why no one else is bothered by this, maybe people don't use the matter integration?

I agree.

Matter should guarantee universality but Styrbar is detected as four devices you can’t interact with in Google home.

Functionality is still not available - and by default Styrbars show up as lights in Google home and even after defining them as switches, they can't be configured with any routines.
